This Tested My Love of Christopher Ward | C60 Pool Diver x seconde/seconde

Christopher Ward just dropped their fourth collab with Parisian designer Romaric André — and this one's a little unhinged in the best way. Meet the C60 Pool Diver x seconde/seconde/: a 200m dive watch designed entirely around not diving, or working, or doing anything productive at all. Following the sold-out C65 Desk Diver, the Pool Diver takes the same "self-help" dial format and transplants it to the all-inclusive resort. We're talking five dial zones covering reading, tanning, lounging, flexing on your Instagram followers, and reconsidering your life choices at sunset. The date window has been replaced by a martini glass. There's a helium escape valve etched with a tropical island. The caseback shows a diver in flip-flops carrying a mocktail. And yes, it comes with an inflatable drinks holder in the box. Under all the fun is a legitimate watch — 41mm stainless steel with a ceramic shroud and bezel, Sellita SW200-1 movement, sapphire crystal, and a matte sandblasted dial with Super-LumiNova indices. The rubber strap version starts at $1,250, with a bracelet option at $1,475. It's available as a limited ORDER WINDOW only — June 11 to June 24 — so if you want one, you need to act fast. Is this a serious watch for serious collectors, or exactly what the hobby needs right now? I give you my honest take. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to the Pool Diver Watch 00:40 Am I Bias Towards CW? 01:52 Technical Specs 03:01 Bezel Action & Explanation 04:37 Accessories 05:07 Weird Desig
