C1 Bel Canto Verde Green

The Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto Limited Edition is a 41 mm chiming wristwatch crafted in lightweight and durable Grade 5 titanium. With a case thickness of 13 mm and a lug-to-lug span of 48 mm, it balances presence on the wrist with everyday wearability. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM (30 m). At its core lies the Calibre FS01, an automatic movement built on a Sellita SW200 base and enhanced with an in-house chiming module. This complication delivers a sonnerie au passage, striking a clear D-note chime once every hour, which can be silenced via a pusher at 4 o’clock. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), offers a 38-hour power reserve, and contains 29 jewels. The dial of the Bel Canto is a defining feature: an openworked design in verde green that reveals the chiming mechanism, including the hammer and gongs. A floating sub-dial at 12 o’clock displays the hours and minutes, with applied markers and refined finishing. The overall aesthetic blends technical depth with elegant restraint.

Finishing across the case combines brushed surfaces with polished chamfers, while the omission of a dial logo ensures all focus rests on the chiming architecture. Supplied on a matching strap with quick-release system, the Bel Canto maintains versatility and practicality despite its high complication. This particular watch is pre-owned in mint condition, accompanied by its original box, papers, warranty dated June 2023, and an extra green strap. For additional peace of mind, it is also covered by a one-year TLE warranty.
