The Christopher Ward C65 Dune Automatic is a beautifully proportioned Swiss automatic field watch that combines vintage-inspired styling with the refinement and engineering expected from Christopher Ward. This distinctive configuration features a Marine Blue dial paired with a Camel Vintage Oak leather strap, creating a versatile combination that works equally well for casual everyday wear or more refined occasions.
This pre-owned example is in great condition and was originally purchased on July 8, 2026, leaving the watch covered by Christopher Ward’s five-year movement guarantee until approximately July 8, 2031, subject to the manufacturer’s warranty terms.
The C65 Dune takes inspiration from classic outdoor and exploration watches while maintaining a clean, contemporary character. Its highly wearable 38mm Light-catcherâ„¢ stainless steel case measures just 43.6mm lug-to-lug and 11.7mm thick, giving the watch excellent proportions for a wide variety of wrist sizes.
A defining feature of the Dune is its glass-box sapphire crystal, which recreates the dimensional appearance of vintage acrylic crystals while providing the durability and scratch resistance expected from modern sapphire. Beneath it sits the Marine Blue dial, complemented by applied markers and generously lumed hands and indices using Super-LumiNova® Grade X1.
At the heart of the C65 Dune is the proven Sellita SW200-1 Swiss automatic movement. The 26-jewel caliber operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides approximately 38 hours of power reserve. Christopher Ward specifies a timing tolerance of -5/+12 seconds per day, while central hacking seconds allow precise time setting.
A sapphire display caseback provides a view of the movement and Christopher Ward’s distinctive Colimaçoné-finished rotor, adding another premium detail to an otherwise understated field-watch design.

The Christopher Ward C65 Dune Automatic delivers an appealing combination of vintage field-watch character, compact dimensions, and modern Swiss construction. The 38mm Light-catcherâ„¢ case and short 43.6mm lug-to-lug make it exceptionally wearable, while the Marine Blue dial and Camel Vintage Oak leather strap give this particular configuration a warm and distinctive personality.
Its glass-box sapphire crystal provides the charm of a vintage domed crystal without sacrificing modern durability, while the Sellita SW200-1 movement, 150-meter water resistance, screw-down crown, Grade X1 Super-LumiNova®, and sapphire exhibition caseback make the Dune much more capable than its understated appearance might suggest.
For collectors looking for a versatile Swiss automatic watch that bridges the gap between a traditional field watch and an everyday sports watch, the C65 Dune offers an excellent balance of comfort, vintage inspiration, modern specifications, and Christopher Ward’s distinctive design language.
