Christopher Ward will be launching a limited edition watch in October titled the C70 Brooklands. The C70 is part of the C70 Grand Prix series of watches that celebrates the original six races that eventually became known as today's Formula 1. Brooklands was a purposely built motor racing circuit near Surrey, England. It opened in 1907 and ran for many years, until it was closed in 1939 at the onset of World War 2. It is one of the very few race circuits with banking corners. The C70 Brooklands celebrates this great circuit.

It is a beautiful watch. The green color of the dial represents the chassis colors of the nation's racing colors, in this case British Racing Green. The watch is a limited edition watch with a run of only 200 pieces. The C70 features the following functionality: hours, minutes, seconds, date (4:30 o'clock) and chronograph.

The chronograph on this watch is unique as the minute indicator is centrally mounted. The C70 Brooklands is powered by the popular ETA 251.232 quartz movement. This movement is super accurate and has been awarded the C.O.S.C. certification. The movement is thermo-compensated and has an independent adjustable hour hand, which is great if you travel. The movement is also set apart by having 27 jewels.

The watch is encased in a stainless steel case, 42 mm in diameter and 10.7 mm thick. The sapphire crystal is domed. The C70 is water resistant to  10 ATM and comes fitted with a Spanish 'Toro Bravo' Italian leather strap. Every watch will be serialized. The retail price is about $680 USD.
