C8 FLYER AUTOMATIC
C8 FLYER AUTOMATIC – 44 & 38mm Case Sizes
The Supermarine Spitre was, arguably,
the most iconic military plane of the 20th
Century and even today the unmistakable
growl of its Rolls-Royce Merlin engine
ying overhead evokes an emotional
response in men and women of all ages.
Unsurprisingly, therefore, when we wanted to
create a series of timepieces celebrating
Britain’s unparalleled aviation history we turned
to the Spitre for inspiration. In the plane’s
cockpit we discovered the Smiths Mark IIA clock
which became the inspiration for the C8’s
dial language.
The incredible Farnborough Wind Tunnels,
have also been interpreted on the C8 Flyer
Automatic’s back-plate. These breath-taking
examples of industrial art/science that honed
the aerodynamics of many British aircraft,
including the Spitre and Concorde, have their
magnicent mahogany blades and perforated
steel surrounds perfectly represented using the
signature Christopher Ward three-dimensional
deep-etched stamping process.
One of watchmaking’s most reliable automatic
movements is encased by a precision
engineered, marine-grade stainless-steel
case with oversized crown, designed to
make adjustment easier for the aviators’
glove-bound hands.
Add in the beautifully crafted vintage leather
strap incorporating a hand-sewn whip stitch or,
if you intend wearing the C8 over a ying jacket,
our ne leather NATO strap, and it is clear
you will be wearing a watch of rare distinction
and uncompromising quality.

Crown
The C8 Flyer Automatic has a maximum power reserve of 38 hours when fully wound.
To re-power the watch after a period of non-use, simply wind the crown for approximately
(a minimum) 20 revolutions. Normal wearing will very quickly allow the rotor to start
re-powering the watch over time after putting it on your wrist.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR C8 FLYER AUTOMATIC
SETTING THE TIME/DATE
• Position
1
is for winding (until resistance is felt).
Wind in a clockwise direction to re-power
the watch.
• Pull gently into position
2
. For rapid date
correction, turn in a clockwise direction.
• Pull gently into position
3
. This position is
used for handsetting, and stopping of the
second hand. For precise time setting it is
recommended to pass beyond the desired
minute and to set the hand backwards.
PLEASE NOTE: The date cannot be changed
during the date changing phase between 21.00
hrs and 02.00 hrs as the watch gearing will already
be aligning itself to change the date. The crown
should always be screwed in after adjustment,
and it is best to do so from position
3
to avoid
advancing beyond the desired date.

WATER RESISTANCE
Although your watch has been through vigorous
static pressure testing, it is worth remembering
that there are many variables that can affect
the water resistance of your watch.
For instance, arm movements during swimming
and the sudden impact of diving and water
sports will drastically increase the pressure the
watch is under. Wearing your watch in the bath,
shower, or sauna can also have an effect as a
rapid increase in temperature can cause seals
to expand and in extreme cases, malfunction or
create condensation.
For these reasons, the water resistance rating
of your watch (as shown) should only ever
be considered a guideline and we strongly
recommend they are always adhered to.
1 BAR (10 METRES)
Safe to wear your watch while
washing your hands with tap water.
3 BAR (30 METRES)
Washing your car and/or general
hose pipe usage.
5 BAR (50 METRES)
Water resistant to most household
shower units.
10 BAR (100 METRES)
Safe to use while snorkelling
in open water.
30 BAR (300 METRES)
Ideal for experienced divers and
those practising scuba-diving.
50 BAR (500 METRES)
Professional divers, experiencing
prolonged exposure underwater.
100 BAR (1000 METRES)
Professional deep sea diving.
