C8 UTC Worldtimer
C8 UTC Worldtimer
Aviation is something we take for granted,
thinking nothing about circling the globe in
flying metal tubes and meeting colleagues
for lunch on a different continent. But the
new Christopher Ward C8 UTC Worldtimer
reminds us of the wonder of flying: linking
the design of classic military aviation with
the possibilities of modern jet travel in one
ingenious, and very beautiful, watch.
The watch takes its design cues from the rest of the
C8 Flyer Collection, which references the Smith's
Mark II A clock used in Spitfires during World War
II. All carry engravings of the historic aviation wind
tunnels in Farnborough where the aerodynamics
of British aircraft like the Spitfire and Concorde
were honed.
Perhaps the most striking feature of the timepiece is
the two-piece dial, which features a crown-operated
worldtimer bezel showing prominent international
cities, meaning the wearer can immediately work
out the time anywhere on Earth. For those looking to
keep track of one timezone in particular, the 24-hour
UTC hand will be an invaluable tool.
The military feel is continued with the large Arabic
numerals, raised indexes and ‘pipette’ hands, all of
which are coated with Super-Luminova for visibility
at low light.
