$555.00
+9 Deal Score
13,272 Views
Ultra thin 5.95mm thick mechanical watch with the ETA 7001 movement. It is rare to find a mechanical watch <6mm for under $1000. The same movement is found in dress watches by Nomos, Stowa, Blacpain, Omega (Cal. 651), Junghans, Baume & Mercier, Bell & Ross, Tissot, ect.

Regular price is £595 which should convert to $845 USD. C. Ward has dropped the US price to $680. Using code 125SPRING18, price drops even further to $555.

I have a Christopher Ward Trident Pro (38mm) that I wear and like. They're a good boutique that hasn't fallen into the trap of making only >42mm monstrosities of watches.

In terms of watches one would cross shop versus this one, the major ones that come to mind would be the Hamilton Intra-Matic, or even better, the Seiko SDGM001. Both watches are significantly thicker than the Malvern in this post because both watches are automatic (versus the Malvern, which is hand-wind only).

All offer a similar aesthetic, with the Malvern being the most basic and austere, the Intra-Matic being next-most flashy, and the Seiko Brightz being pretty flashy , but still great (and similar to the legendary Seiko SARB065 Cocktail Time).

Nice deal!

The C. Ward divers are a bit on the large side. But the C5 Malvern is only 39mm and only weighs 33g. That is insanely light.

I think the best watches to compare for cross shop with similar design and movement are the Junghas Meister [junghanswatchesusa.net] or Nomos Tangente [nomos-glashuette.com].

I saw this in mt latest Ward mailer...very thin. Looks like a damn good deal also.

I love my Ward watch, it's classy and perhaps unknown to people who aren't into watches...but beautiful and quality craftsmanship.

I'd pay $555 for it, but not $556.

Lack of a second hand kills it for me. Will probably end up with a Nomos dress watch for that reason.

I love Nomos, but it is a much different price range than this watch.

More akin to the "Grand Malvern" range. I want to love this watch, but when I see a timepiece sans second hand my inclination is to assume it's housing a quartz movement.

This is a very nice watch for this price range. The only watch that came closest to my mind it is the Mido Baroncelli III Automatic M027.407.16.010.00 [shopmido.com] (6.95mm thin, 39mm case and base ETA 2892-A2) which can be had for around $600. Next would be the Hamilton Intra-Matic, Stowa Antea Klassik, Junghans Max-Bill and Nomos Tangente.

Lastly, the unsung hero of them all it is the Orient 2nd Generation Bambino v3 for $115-135.

$555 for a 17 jewel movement without even a date complication is completely useless and waste of money even though it's Christopher Ward. Pass on..
