Christopher Ward Trident Mk3 600 Watch Review

Post by eggtronics »

I was one of the fortunate reviewers to get a first-hand look at the brand new Mk3 Trident, released earlier this year. The model that was sent to me was the Elite 1000; and whilst it’s a belter of a watch, it’s over £1000 and a limited edition of only 300 pieces.

The Trident Mk3 600, however, is much cheaper and therefore more accessible by many, and in turn, is a more suitable watch for review.

When you compare the Mk3 with all Tridents that preceded it, there’s very little that remains: in effect, the Trident counter-weight on the seconds hand and the stylised deep-stamped caseback are the only things. Where are the onion and sword hands and the wavey dial that became synonymous with the Trident? Everything is completely reworked, and the design has been modernised to match the new branding.

They’ve practically started with a blank slate in terms of construction; everything is notably better quality. Let’s check it out to see if it’s worth £795.

Thanks guys! Honestly it’s all down to the watch itself. It’s so beautiful it lends itself to stunning pictures with very little effort!

Josh, great review. Out of interest how do you feel the Trident compares quality wise to the competition e.g. the Aquis?

Thanks! I've not actually seen the Aquis specifically - which does look pretty great. I've handled a fair amount of watches in the same price range as the Trident Mk3 and I can honestly say this thing is far superior in every way. Love it to bits.

The black dial seems realy more deep in your pictures than the pictures on CW website.
Great job !
