Christopher Ward C900 Harrison Solitary Pusher Chronograph ReviewNicely, we have finally gotten our hands about the considerably anticipated Christopher Ward C900 Solitary Pusher Chronograph. This replica watch was initially announced in August, and that i observed the news so interesting (appear on, it isn't day-to-day that a manufacturer bucks the tendencies in the replica watch market place and brings out an in-house chronograph for just above 3k) that i wrote up a fairly detailed write-up on it back again then. So, to not compose the exact same point two times and obtain on while using the evaluate, I'll defer you to that post for your meat of this intro. Of course, with all the C900 the C. Ward model has once yet again confirmed that during the online age, a replica watch company can provide top quality, innovation and mechanics usually considered for being the province of luxury makes at a cost-effective price.Scenario: Stainless SteelMovement: C.

And no, we haven't become so jaded as to think this is affordable inside the traditional sense of the term. The C900 represents a stellar entry into the next tier of replica watches, one we could call "accessible luxury". Where in-house calibers and technical innovation are more commonplace. That being said, at $3,365 the C900 costs significantly less than it ought. There are many replica watches using the identical or similar Swiss movements we often see (2824-2's and 2892-2's and -3's) in replica watches under $1,000 that cost upwards of 5k. Within the replica watch current market as a whole, the C900 is a very economical offering, and regardless, is an interesting replica watch we know you want to read about.MovementThe obvious star on the show here is the in-house developed Calibre JJ02 single pusher chronograph movement at the heart with the replica watch. Built off on the workhorse Unitas 6497, the JJ02 is unlike any other movement we've come across. While proprietary and visually mesmerizing, the JJ02 puts an emphasis not on decoration, but on function. By using the 6497, the canvas for Johannes Jahnke and Jean Fillon was quite large, allowing them to maximize both the scale in the components and the space around them. The result is a chronograph where one can easily identify what is going on. Hit the button and your action is directly translated into the turning with the column wheel, the movement on the sliding gear and clutch, as effectively as the obvious start from the seconds counter. Considering the goal of your Harrison series of C Ward replica watches is to bring a higher level of replica watch making to a more accessible industry, developing a movement that is understandable speaks strongly to the brand's philosophy. Simply put, by achieving this I find the replica watch being a conceptual success.Functionally speaking, this is not likely a chronograph you'll be timing races with, it is a study in replica watch making around the wrist. This is for a few of reasons: 1. The Unitas 6497 movement has a frequency of 18,000 bph / 2.5 hz, which translates to 5 ticks per second
. Compared to the industry standard Valjoux 7750, with a frequency of 28,800 / 4 hz or 8 ticks per second, this makes for a lower precision chronograph (as in it can't be read to the identical fraction of a second) and a choppier sweep from the chronograph seconds counter. 2. The dial is oriented towards time telling not recording as it lacks markers with a greater precision than 1 second. 3. The nature of a solitary pusher chronograph is that it only goes through one series of actions: start, stop, reset. That being said, for less precise needs, it is a perfectly nicely functioning chronograph and let's be honest, that isn't the point on the replica watch anyway. Also, stylistically, in both the design from the replica watch and the implementation of a solitary pusher, the replica watch hearkens to an earlier era of your chronograph, making the lack of precision actually more appropriate.I discovered using the single pusher through the crown being an oddly pleasant sensation . There is something very intuitive about pushing a button located at the position of the crown to control all of your functions from the chronograph. The button itself also has a very properly tuned feeling, requiring enough pressure that it would not be accidentally pressed, yet not so significantly as for being stiff. The large flat face from the button is also larger than most chrono pushers, giving it more a substantial and viscerally enjoyable button sensation.CaseThe C900 is a fairly large and robust replica watch for one with relatively dressy styling. The stainless steel circumstance measures 43mm in diameter, 51mm lug-to-lug and has a towering 15.9mm height. Of course, the situation isn't oversized so substantially as it is scaled in proportion to the larger than average movement inside. The design is very straightforward with a classic profile that consists of slab sides and gently curved lugs. The bezel, which is narrow but tall, has a graceful curve that leads the eye nicely into the domed sapphire crystal.An elegant but simple mix of finishes elevates the circumstance nicely. The bezel, tops with the lugs and the case back again are all pristinely polished. The side of the case is brushed laterally which, given the height with the replica watch, does a good job of breaking up the sheen on the scenario and adding more visual intrigue. Scenario finishing is certainly something to consider on a replica watch in this rate range and while the case doesn't scream luxurious, the styling and finishing are nicely executed and appropriate.The crown/pusher at 3 is also nicely executed. It can be a reasonably large crown, measuring 8 x 5mm, but it does not feel disproportionate to the case. Also, considering that the replica watch is hand wound, it is nice to have something solid to grasp. The crown has a simple toothed design to make it more tactile around the sides and a CW logo to the flat side. As I mentioned before, the chrono pusher actually runs through the center with the crown, so while it looks like a solid piece, it actually has a piston/cylinder design.DialAside from the achievement observed in the JJ02 movement, the dial and fingers from the C900 mark a highpoint in design for that brand name longines legend . Subtle, refined and sophisticated, the dial mixes formal elements of a dress replica watch along with the inherent sportiness of chronograph. The dial is actually very simple, consisting only of a clean white face and black markers with a bi-compax sub-dial arrangement. No applied markers, no lume, just clean black on white. The primary hours, minute and chronograph seconds register, are defined by thin black lines with the individual minutes/seconds, longer and slightly bolder lines to the hours and roman numerals for 12 and 6. The font for the roman numerals is tall and thin, which matches the lithe hours markers properly. Under 12 is the "Chr. Ward London" logo and previously mentioned 6 are the words "JJ02 Calibre Chronograph". The text in both instances is very well sized and not overbearing.At 9 and 3 are the continuous seconds and 30-minute totalizer, respectively. Both dials have precisely the same large diameter, which is perfectly proportioned to the 38mm dial. This is perhaps the most crucial detail to the design from the dial, as the bi-compax registers immediately draw the eye and affect the overall symmetry with the dial. Both registers are debossed into the dial, which creates a slight elevation change that in turn creates the boundary of the sub-dials. This is a nice and subtler way of demarcating the dials than with a printed line. Both dials also have paired down indexes with small black markers and a single numeral, 60 around the seconds and 30 around the minutes.The hands suit the look of the dial as properly. The hour, minute and chronograph seconds are all long thin needle shapes that taper to a very fine point. The hour and minutes are polished steel while the chronograph seconds is black, making them easier to distinguish from each other. The long thin shape was clearly designed to match the very thin markers over the main index, and the balance between the two works very nicely. Both of your sub-dials have smaller black fingers that match their larger counterparts. Overall, the fingers make for an easy replica watch to read at-a-glance, though I did initially find the lengths on the minute and hour hand being a bit too similar.I would imagine that when designing this dial there was a point when they debated designing for your rate tag. Being that the C900 is their most expensive replica watch to date by a large margin, one might have expected the various elements of the replica watch to speak to that fact. After all, most people judge a book by its cover. Very well, the discipline of the designers is seen in that the dial, while no more complicated in construction than your average replica watch, is best suited with the personality from the movement and the manufacturer. The aesthetic achieved is reminiscent of your era of streamline design by the likes of Raymond Loewy and his contemporaries, which works exceptionally with both the dress and sport elements with the replica watch.Strap and WearabilityThe C900 is available with two strap options, either a black or brown genuine Alligator. The 20-18mm tapering strap is very elegant and nicely made, as is to generally be expected, and as is the case with all C. Ward straps, features quick release spring bars and a deployment clasp. The black variation suits the replica watch very effectively, adding a distinctly formal element to the look. I was glad to see that the leather had a satin sheen rather than a high gloss, which would have been too decadent for the replica watch. While I don't see this replica watch working with a NATO, I do think a sportier leather strap, something a bit racing inspired, could play nicely as an alternative.The C900 is a large replica watch, as I said before, but within the wrist it feels very nice. No dimension is so big as to become uncomfortable and the lack of any shocking design details make the replica watch surprisingly subtle. That being said, it is simultaneously a replica watch with a strong and masculine appearance. The brand is positioning the replica watch as a dress replica watch, which I think is apt aesthetically, though the height of the replica watch should be considered, as a tight cuff would not make it over. At the same time I don't think the C900 would feel too formal with a more casual outfit, though a t-shirt might be pushing it.ConclusionSo, are you ready to make the leap to a 3,365 dollar replica watch? Perhaps yes, perhaps no…either way, the C900 is a really interesting replica watch that if you have the money to spend would make a very unique addition to one's collection. And beyond just the movement, it really is a damn nice looking replica watch. And like the C9 Jump Hour before it, I think there is a great potential for these replica watches to gain in value down the road. It is a very limited edition of only 250 and is a milestone for a manufacturer that is clearly here for the duration. Regardless, as replica watch nerds new and old, I think everyone can appreciate what the brand name did, and that they took the approach not of making something ornate and flashy, but rather sophisticated and together with the intention of illuminating the workings of a column-wheel chronograph. Hopefully, C Ward will keep up this tradition of releasing one high-end but accessible replica watch a year (and we'll keep reviewing them), and I will keep saving for that $5,000 tourbillon.
