The Christopher Ward The Twelve 38mm is a sophisticated Swiss-made automatic sports watch that combines contemporary British design, intricate dial craftsmanship, and exceptional finishing in a beautifully proportioned integrated-bracelet configuration.
This 2026 example is presented in mint pre-owned condition, featuring the striking Nordic Blue three-dimensional textured dial, distinctive twelve-sided stainless steel bezel, and integrated stainless steel bracelet.
Inspired by the iconic integrated-bracelet sports watches of the 1970s, The Twelve offers a modern interpretation of this celebrated design category. Its architectural case construction, carefully executed finishing, and distinctive dial texture create an exceptional balance between sporty versatility and refined elegance.
Distinctive Nordic Blue Dial
The centerpiece of The Twelve is its beautiful Nordic Blue dial, featuring a three-dimensional stamped pyramid pattern inspired by Christopher Ward’s signature twin-flags logo.
The intricate geometric texture creates an impressive interplay of light and shadow, producing subtle variations in blue depending on the viewing angle and surrounding lighting conditions.
Applied hour markers with diamond-polished facets complement the brushed and polished hands, while Super-LumiNova Grade X1 BL C1 provides excellent readability in low-light environments.
A discreet date display at 6 o’clock maintains the dial’s symmetry while adding everyday practicality.
Refined 38mm Stainless Steel Case
The watch features a beautifully engineered 38mm stainless steel case, measuring just 9.95mm thick and 43.3mm lug-to-lug.
These compact proportions provide excellent wrist comfort while retaining the distinctive presence of Christopher Ward’s integrated sports-watch design.
Its signature twelve-sided dodecagonal bezel combines brushed, polished, and sandblasted finishing, highlighting the intricate architecture of the case.
A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the dial, while a sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the decorated Swiss automatic movement.
With a screw-down crown and 100 meters / 330 feet of water resistance, The Twelve offers excellent everyday durability.
Swiss Automatic Mechanical Movement
Powering this version of The Twelve 38mm is the Swiss Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, featuring 26 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and approximately 38 hours of power reserve.
The movement includes manual winding capability, hacking seconds, and a date complication.
Its decorative finishing can be admired through the transparent sapphire exhibition caseback, adding mechanical character to the watch’s refined design.
Integrated Stainless Steel Bracelet
Completing the watch is its beautifully finished integrated stainless steel bracelet, designed to flow seamlessly from the case.
The bracelet features individually constructed links with brushed and polished finishing, tapering from approximately 23.3mm at the case to 17mm at the clasp.
A concealed butterfly clasp incorporates a convenient micro-adjustment system offering up to 3mm of adjustment, while Christopher Ward’s quick-release construction allows compatible straps to be changed easily.
