Rather than chasing oversized proportions or exaggerated tool-watch aesthetics, Christopher Ward focused on balance—combining a warm bronze case, ceramic bezel, and beautifully domed sapphire crystal into a watch that feels equally inspired by the golden age of dive watches and contemporary engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bronze case is the defining feature. Unlike stainless steel, bronze develops a unique patina over time, slowly creating a finish that reflects its owner's wear and environment. No two examples age exactly alike, giving each Aquitaine its own individual character. The watch is powered by the dependable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement and offers 200 meters of water resistance, making it every bit as capable as it is attractive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is presented in \u003cstrong\u003eexcellent pre-owned condition\u003c\/strong\u003e and is accompanied by a \u003cstrong\u003enon-Christopher Ward presentation box\u003c\/strong\u003e.
