Christopher Ward W61, dial closeup
We've written before about the trend towards smaller watches, and today's datum is theChristopher Ward W61 Trident Pro. Based on customer requests, CW took their C60 Trident (42mm) and made a version at 38mm.
Available in blue, black and orange, the W61 is really designed for both women and smaller-wristed men. Not that that's good ad copy, so most brands call it "mid-sized." 38mm wide, 45.2 lug to lug, 12.1mm thick, and 87g including the strap.

Brushed finish on the side, polished on top, signed crown with squared-off crown guards, aluminum bezel insert, beveled 4.0mm sapphire crystal with inner anti-reflective coating.
Depending on lighting and angle, the wave pattern on the dial can range from obvious to invisible. I like that. The red-tipped seconds hand has a very cool trident counterpoise. I'm less fond of the partially-skeletonized hour and minute hand, since they're less legible that way, but overall it's still easy to read the time - day or night.
