Christopher Ward has updated its core Sealander line, introducing revised versions of the GMT and Automatic models.
The collection, which has become one of the brand’s highest-volume platforms, is positioned as an entry point into mechanical watchmaking, with a focus on everyday use.
The Sealander GMT has been redesigned to put as clearer distinction between it and the Automatic. It is now available in 36mm, 39mm and 42mm case sizes, with a fixed steel bezel marked for 24-hour time. It comes powered by the Sellita SW330-2 movement, which packs a 56-hour power reserve and “caller” GMT functionality. (A caller GMT lets you adjust the 24-hour hand independently to track another time zone, while the main hour hand stays fixed.)
Water resistance is rated at a decent 150 meters.
The Sealander Automatic introduces a slimmer case profile, measuring 10.6mm thick in its smaller size, and a more polished finish.
It is one of the first watches to use Sellita’s SW200-2 Power+ calibre, which increases power reserve to 65 hours (or almost three days), up from 38 hours in the previous generation.
The Sealander GMT is offered in a neat range of polished lacquer dials. White and sky blue run across all three case sizes, while black is available in the 39mm and 42mm models. A pistachio green option is reserved for the 39mm.
The Sealander Automatic comes in white, black, and sky blue available in both 36mm and 39mm sizes. Two additional colors sit outside that core: a pink dial limited to the 36mm, and a pistachio variant again exclusive to the 39mm. Both models feature revised dials with improved legibility, updated handsets, and Super-LumiNova.
The watches also introduce a new bracelet system, which Christopher Ward is calling iLink, which allows links to be removed without tools using a push-button mechanism.
Prices start at a ridiculously reasonable $1,150 for the Automatic and just $1,535 for the GMT. The collection is available now.
