Ep. 148: Talking Super Compressors with Mike France of Christopher Ward

The Worn & Wound Podcast

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner talks to Christopher Ward’s co-founder Mike France. Christopher Ward just released their new C65 Super Compressor dive watch, and in this conversation Mike takes us through the process of bringing this watch to market – the first genuine super compressor to be made in decades. Blake and Mike cover a ton of ground here, including the tech behind super compressors, the debate over whether or not to include a display case back, and the reasoning behind the C65 Super Compressor’s cushion case design (another first for Christopher Ward). But it’s not all dive watch talk – Blake and Mike also discuss the development of Christopher Ward’s SH21 movement, the importance of being connected to the enthusiast community, and a whole lot more. 

This week’s episode of the Worn & Wound Podcast is brought to you by Seiko and their iconic Seiko 5 Sports line of watches. Seiko has released a diverse range of new Seiko 5 Sports watches, designed to fit any style. The new introductions fit into five distinct style categories: Sports, Suits, Street, Specialist, and Sense, each incorporating different color schemes and materials.
