The Christopher Ward The Twelve 40mm C12-40ADA1-S00B3-B0 is the brand’s integrated-bracelet sports watch in stainless steel, here with a Nordic Blue dial. The 40 mm case is just 9.95 mm high and 44.5 mm from lug to lug, and the case alone weighs 65 g (160 g on its bracelet). Its signature 12-sided bezel combines sandblasted, polished and linear-brushed finishes, and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal covers the dial. The watch is powered by the Swiss-made Sellita SW200-2 Power+ automatic movement, with 26 jewels, a 4 Hz frequency and a power reserve of 60 hours minimum (65 hours typical). Christopher Ward quotes a timing tolerance of -5/+12 seconds per day. Water resistance is 10 ATM (100 meters).
The watch shows hours, minutes, central seconds and the date. The stamped, three-dimensional dial has a pyramid pattern that references the twin flags of the Christopher Ward logo, with top-brushed indexes and Super-LumiNova on the hands and markers. A screw-down crown and a screw-down exhibition caseback held by six exposed screws complete the case, which carries an engraved serial number. The integrated steel bracelet is 25 mm wide at the case and closes with a clasp that has micro-adjustment of up to 1.5 mm per side. Christopher Ward lists it at EUR 1,555, currently on pre-order for delivery at the end of November 2026.
Since its launch, The Twelve has been widely praised as one of the best-value integrated-bracelet watches, with reviewers singling out its slim case, the complex finishing on the 12-sided bezel and the eye-catching textured dial. Critics mainly note that its design leans on the Royal Oak and Nautilus tradition, something Christopher Ward openly acknowledges. The Twelve 40mm Nordic Blue is currently in production and sold directly through Christopher Ward’s official website.
