C8 Pilot Revival Special Edition
It’s not often you get to own a piece of watchmaking history.
But that’s one of the reasons why your C8 Pilot Revival Special Edition
is such an important watch.
If you’re not familiar with its DNA, the timepiece is a faithful – but
improved – version of the C8 Pilot, Christopher Ward’s first pilot’s
watch.
Based on the B-Uhren’ timepieces of World War II, the C8 Pilot
showed that CW could produce an elite watch that could compete
with the best. And do so at a price that made it accessible to as many
people as possible.
A look at the beautifully proportioned dial of the C8 Pilot Revival
Special Edition gives you some clue of what’s been achieved.
Mirroring the original C8 Pilot, the indexes and reference triangle
at 12 o’clock are coated with Super-LumiNova
®
C1 BL Grade X1 for
timekeeping after dark.
Meanwhile, the oversize crown adds further authenticity – glove-
wearing pilots couldn’t adjust their watches with regular-size
crowns.
Finally, there’s the ‘Chr. Ward’ logo that sits at 12 o’clock. A logo
that was retired in 2016 (with not a little controversy), for some CW
fans it retains a special place in their hearts. To see it return – even
for one time only – is something that will give you a warm glow all
over.
