Limited Edition
Our 40mm Giant Manta custom made everyday sports & dive watch is inspired by the Manta Ray of this name.
The Giant Oceanic Manta Ray can grow up to a maximum of 9m (30ft) in length and with a weight of about 3,000kg (6,600lb).
And this watch is based on our award-winning Manta watch...which has a closed case back. It's the same quality design, colour scheme and Swiss automatic movement.
But the key difference is that the Giant Manta has an open case back with an eye-catchingly unique custom made Giant Manta Ray style rotor that's visible through the sapphire crystal glass.
Inspired by the distinctively beguiling beauty of the Manta Ray, our fully custom made Manta is a 40mm luxury dive watch for everyday use...in a range of colours to suit your varying clothing and...even your varying moods!
Just some of the highlights include a 3D guilloché style colour-coded dial, a Swiss self-winding mechanical movement, a bidirectional internal rotating bezel, colour-coded crowns and quick-release straps, and more (full details below).
And, by investing in our watches, you're also investing in children & young people in need around the world, as we're donating 10% of our profits to them.
The Manta has a striking 3D kaleidoscope guilloché colour-coded brass dial with applied indexes, illuminated by blue BGW9 lume.
And the custom made watch hands are painted matt black and white and are illuminated by a blue-green Super-LumiNova BGW9 luminance for sustained easy reading in low light.
The watch has an internal rotating bidirectional bezel, made from aluminium, with 60 smooth and crunchy clicks.
And the bezel numerals are also illuminated by a blue-green Super-LumiNova.
The watch markers are made from blocks (yes, blocks) of blue-green Super-LumiNova. No sparse Lumi lines here!
And these complement the equally sustaining brightness of the hands.
This watch is powered by a Swiss made Sellita automatic (self-winding) mechanical movement with 26 jewels.
This movement also has time hacking (synchronising your watch to the second) and a power reserve of 38 hours.
It also has water resistance to depths of 200m/660ft.
Each of our watches come with colour-coded, custom made, quick-release, 2-piece, FKM vulcanised rubber watch straps with 2 keepers fitted with an Edward Christopher branded stainless steel buckle that means business!
Our Manta watches fit wrist sizes of 13cm-20cm/5ins-8ins (for both men and women).
The case is fitted with two colour-coded tubes & crowns...and both are fitted with triple waterproof O-ring gaskets.
The 2 o'clock crown operates the internal rotating bidirectional bezel...and the 4 o'clock crown, with the Edward Christopher logo motif, changes the time.
This watch dial is encased by a flat scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a triple-coated anti-glare coating on both sides.
It's also fitted with hidden O-ring gaskets (most luxury watches are fitted with visible gaskets...and their visibility, albeit minimal, can detract a little from the look & feel of the watch. Just saying!).
While the vast majority of packaging for high end and luxury watches is voluminous and makes an often appealing and grand design and size statement, we've chosen instead to make a greater packaging statement!
Because ours is based on a reduced use of packaging (we try to use as much recycled paper and cardboard as possible) while keeping up the highest practical and style standards.
So, your watch is still beautifully presented on a cream cushion in our elegant box (in the Edward Christopher brand colour) that contains everything else you need: your cloth watch bag, your watch cloth and your warranty card, as well as the styled protective elements. All contained in one smaller, but still beautifully packaged presentation box.
The watch's name is inspired by the beguiling elegance, distinctive beauty and other eye-catching qualities of the Manta Ray. Because…Mantas are truly special.
They're giant, charismatic geniuses. Mantas have huge brains - the biggest of any fish - with especially developed areas for learning, problem solving and communicating. They're playful, curious and are also friendly to humans.
So, this is a watch that looks and feels great on you, whether you're scuba diving with Mantas, enjoying yourself at an elegant party or wanting to make a great and engaging impression in a formal business setting.
In fact, wherever and whenever you wear your Manta, people will love talking to you about it - not just because of its striking looks and features, but also because, when you invest in one, you also invest in children and young people in need.
Investing In Children & Young People In Need
You invest in children & young people in need when you invest in a Edward Christopher watch.

By investing in one of our timepieces you're also investing in Our Mission to make a real world, everyday, life enhancing difference to as many children & young people around the world as possible...with more to follow in the future.
So, thank you.
