The C1 Ceremony is our interpretation of the ideal modern dress watch — combining minimalist refinement with the everyday performance and in-water functionality at the heart of our brand. Minimalist quartz dress watches are a dime a dozen — and for the most part, they represent a regrettable trend toward disposable fast fashion. That’s why we set out to build something different. The C1 Ceremony pairs a vintage-sized 36mm case with modern specs, including 10ATM of water resistance, a domed sapphire crystal, and the ultra-reliable 1L45 Japanese quartz movement. At just 8.5mm thick, it’s designed to disappear under a cuff, but still tough enough to handle ocean swims and rugged travel. Each watch is sold with two interchangeable quick-release bands.
