Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT (Ombre/Hunter Green dial) review
I was instantly smitten by first looks of this watch when it was launched and I immediately bought this. Literally (a little maybe 😜) I was the first guy as a buyer who posted first real pics of this on social media around Oct 2021 and also got the pic featured in watchuseek insta handle.

Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT (Ombre/Hunter Green dial) review
Yes
No
- Case size of 39mm
- Sleek thickness for the case dia and wearability
- Finishing
- Reliable movement
- Value for money for option with straps only
- Great timekeeping and power reserve
- Bad suede strap quality, can't handle sweat and fungus
- Cannot install 3rd party integrated bracelet, won't accomodate in the lug area
- Distressed dial pattern may not be for everyone
- Brand Bracelet option makes price significantly high
Green explorer II look reminds me of this grand seiko

Christopher Ward is definitely an up and coming brand. Great watch there 👌
As much has I love CW, I 100% back your criticism of their suede straps. I got mine with C65 chronograph and ended up changing them out because the wear on them.
But still have the Sealander on my list to get
