C7 Rapide Automatic
C7 Rapide Automatic
From our award-winning twin ag logo at
12 o’clock, through to the bold new case
and motorsport insignia-inuenced dials,
the Rapide Collection heralds a new era for
motorsport at Christopher Ward. Similar to
how petrolheads savour the meaty growl
of a petrol engine, those of a horological
disposition admire the intricacies of a
mechanical movement; signicantly,
the C7 Rapide Automatic marks the
introduction of a three-handed automatic
model to our motorsport collection.
This is a watch with the charisma of motorsport at its
very core: double sized numerals; a full minute track
with inner triple minute marks for precise legibility;
a 10 minute gauge highlighted like a rev meter. With
a seamless blend of brushed and polished steel and
titanium surfaces, our new four-piece case – designed
exclusively for the Collection – is an engineering
masterclass, its powerful lugs reminiscent of the
aerodynamic curves of a Formula 1 chassis.
Inside, a Sellita SW200-1 movement keeps the
watch motoring away with unparalleled eciency,
its 28,800 vibrations per hour contributing to the
smooth sweeping motion of the Automatic’s coloured
seconds hand.
Like many grand sports cars that have earned their
place in motorsport history, the new C7 Rapide
Automatic isn’t one to usher itself in quietly. In fact,
thanks to a bold new aesthetic partnered with an
advanced case design, it introduces itself to the
Collection with screeching tyres, billowing smoke
and ying rubber as it donuts post-chequered ag!

How to operate your C7 Rapide Automatic
The crown should sit ush to the case (position
1
)
in order to maintain water resistance.
• For rapid date correction pull gently into
position
2
and turn in a clockwise direction.
• For setting the time pull gently into position
3
and turn anti-clockwise to advance the time. For
precise time setting it is recommended to pass
beyond the desired minute and to set the hand
backwards.
• Push the crown back to position
1
.
PLEASE NOTE: Date correction should not be
carried out between 20.00 hr and 02.00 hr
as the watch gearing will already be aligning
itself to change the date. The crown should
always be pushed in after adjustment,
and it is best to do so from position 3 to
avoid advancing beyond the desired date.

Straps and bracelets
As you would expect, we place as much
emphasis on the quality of our straps and
bracelets as we do our watches. We only use
the nest leathers for our straps. Similarly, we
only use the nest metals in the construction
of our bracelets, all of which are precision
engineered for durability, eciency and comfort.
The following guidelines explain how easy
it is to use and adjust your Christopher Ward
strap or bracelet.
Using the quick-release pins on your strap
1. Locate the quick-
release pin on your
strap. Pull the pin
to the side to detach
your strap.
2. To reattach your
strap, align the pins
to the lug holes and
click the strap into
position. Repeat for
the other side.

back into the clasp.

Water resistance
Although your watch has been through vigorous
static pressure testing, it is worth remembering that
there are many variables that can aect 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 eect 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.
