seconde/seconde/ and Christopher Ward’s C60 Pool Dive Is the Perfect Out-Of-Office Watch for Summer
Reimagining timekeeping for vacations.
Summary
- seconde/seconde/ reconnected with Christopher Ward to release the playful C60 Pool Diver watch
- It features a tongue-in-cheek and color-coded dial that playfully tracks poolside activities and cocktails
- Available to order until June 24, 2026, with a range of bracelet and rubber strap options
Christopher Ward has teamed up with Romaric André, the creative mind behind seconde/seconde/, for their fourth collaboration: the C60 Pool Diver. Designed as a playful sequel to the brand’s popular C65 Desk Diver, this new release trades office irony for the ultimate summer holiday.
Billed as a “decompression diver,” the watch takes the highly capable architecture of the C60 Trident Reef and injects it with a tongue-in-cheek guide to vacationing. Instead of serious deep-sea timing, the C60 Pool Diver is built for the executive looking to chill with purpose, offering a humorous take on how watch enthusiasts actually spend their time off.
Beneath its 41mm stainless steel case and ceramic bezel, the watch replaces traditional diving metrics with a witty, self-improvement-focused dial. The matte white, sandblasted face is divided into five color-coded zones corresponding to poolside activities: reading, sunbathing, relaxing, taking selfies to “flex,” and finally, contemplating life choices. The humor extends to the details, with the standard date window swapped out for a martini glass indicating “maximum units” and the functional helium escape valve bearing a laser-etched tropical island motif.
Flipping the watch over reveals a familiar caseback illustration — this time featuring a diver equipped with flip-flops, sunscreen and a mocktail. Despite the novelty, the watch remains a highly capable tool, boasting 200 meters of water resistance and a reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve.
The C60 Pool Diver is offered exclusively through a limited-time ordering window, available via Christopher Ward until June 24, 2026, with deliveries scheduled to begin in mid-July. The watch is available on vibrant blue, white or orange Aquaflex rubber straps for $1,250 USD, offering the perfect beach-ready aesthetic. For those preferring a more traditional look, a version of the three-link stainless steel Bader bracelet is priced at $1,475 USD.
