Christopher Ward’s been making moves recently, including just after British Watchmakers Day 2026, where they showed us its new C63 True GMT. Now, they’ve recently debuted a slew of new varieties for the Sealander collection, which is made up of utilitarian watches in a range of styles with some casual flair thrown in. Here’s the lowdown on what they’ve released.
C63 Sealander Automatic
C63 Sealander Automatic 36mm Pink Dial
The C63 Sealander Automatic range comes in two sizes with a few different dial choices. The smaller pieces measure 36mm x 10.6mm, but there’s also a larger-sized model measuring 39mm x 10.9mm. There are a few dial colours to choose from in the two sizes. Both sizes offer a choice of white, black, or sky blue dials. The 36mm watch also has a pink dial, unique to that size, and the 39mm watch has a pistachio dial, also unique to that specific size.

The dials themselves have been revised to be slightly neater with slightly slimmer hands and markers than the previous Sealander, and an applied date window classes the joint up a little. Inside these watches is a Sellita SW200-2 Power+, which has a power reserve of 65 hours, a 4Hz beat rate and an accuracy rating of -5/+12s per day, more accurate than its predecessor. The watches are available on a range of straps and bracelets, including the “Bader” bracelet, which has a folding clasp with micro-adjustment, and the “Consort” bracelet, which is a bit dressier and has a butterfly clasp. Prices range from €1,125 to €1,390.

The C63 Sealander GMT follows the path of the C63 Sealander Automatic, but has a slightly broader choice of sizes. The smallest piece measures 36mm x 10.9mm, the mid-sized piece measures 39mm x 11.3mm, and the largest size measures 42mm x 11.5mm. Also, just like the C63 Sealander Automatic, each watch has 150m of water resistance, so every watch really can be taken anywhere without worry.

Also, each watch is available with a choice of the Bader or Consort bracelets, both of which feature the iLink system for hassle-free resizing by removing bracelet links. There’s a choice of leather or rubber strap if that doesn’t suit you. White and sky blue dials are available across the range; black is an option on the 39mm and 42mm watches; and pistachio green is exclusive to the 39mm piece. Each dial has been simplified and tweaked to be a bit classier.

Inside the C63 Sealander GMT models sits the self-winding Sellita SW330-2, which has a 4Hz beat rate and a power reserve of around 56 hours. This is what’s called a “caller” GMT, in which the 24-hour hand can be moved independently of the other hands. A “caller” GMT is easier to make and simpler than a “flyer” GMT, which is also called a “true GMT” even by Christopher Ward, but it also means you have to stop the movement to set the GMT hand and lose a bit of accuracy. In a “flyer” GMT, as seen in the Rolex GMT-Master II and Christopher Ward’s C63 True GMT, the 24-hour hand stays fixed, and the hour hand has a quick adjustment system to set the local time and keep the movement running. Prices for the C63 Sealander GMT range from €1,350 to €1,615.
