The Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor | WatchGecko Review

WatchGecko Review - The Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor In the history of dive watches the super compressor is something of an oddity. Invented by Ervin Piquerez S.A. (EPSA), it used a spring-loaded mechanism on the inside of the case back to improve a watch’s water resistance. Basically, the water pressure increases the further you go underwater. Therefore the deeper you dived, the tighter the caseback was pushed against the case. Whilst the technology has been made redundant by modern manufacturing, Christopher Ward has resurrected it. Presumably for no better reason than the bragging rights such an accomplishment merits. Not that I’m criticising them, because the end result is this - the C65 Super Compressor. It’s the first genuine super compressor in nearly 50 years, and it’s quite the statement piece.
