Hands-On: The New Christopher Ward Twelve 660, With A 6.6mm Thin Case



The Twelve 660 comes in four dial colors, which I quote from the brand: “BLK, WHT, GRN, and BLU,” with the BLK model getting an all-black treatment with a DLC-coated case and bracelet. The matte dials all get a faintly grained texture, then a coating of clear lacquer. The applied hour markers and handset get prominent, wide brushed tops and contrasting polished facets on the sides. These, along with the brand’s logo (which I’ll say still has not won me over), sit on top of that layer of lacquer. In the right light, though subtle, the hour markers and handset seem to be floating just ever so slightly above the dial. Clear lacquer coatings over dials are very much not new, but it’s the thinness of every element, including the flatness of the handstack, that gives the Twelve 660 this interesting effect.
