[ via Concord ]Here is a shot of Concord's new C1 WorldTimer Nightrace Limited Edition wristwatch. It features a DLC (diamond-like carbon) treated stainless steel case that is 47 mm x 13.55 mm. The case construction is comprised of over 53 elements, including a carbon fiber dial and Concord's signature vulcanized rubber inserts around the bezel. The movement is a Dubois-Depraz mechanical movement with a 42-hour power reserve. If you look at the big "C", at 9 o'clock, it is actually a subdial which displays the second time zone by city and hour.

Concord C1 Radar ChronometerIn January 2011 the small Swiss watchmaker will start selling its new Concord C1 Radar automatic chronometer watch.As I noted in April 2009, I do not really like Concord’s design language. It is original and bold, but it grates on the ear as well.However, the new Concord C1 Radar model may be of some interest to those looking for an aggressive-looking sports watch.Its bezel with eight rubber “crenellations” that protect a 3.3 mm thick sapphire crystal suddenly strikes a chord when combined with cantilevered hour indexes on the engine-turned dial with black PVD treatment.The open-worked hour and minute hands, as well as a stylized subsidiary seconds hand at 6 o’clock look surprisingly congruent to the overall aggressive styling of the watch.Although the Kaki technofiber strap with its strange brownish color looks absolutely out of place here, one can always change it for something more appropriate. Like a black rubber strap, for example.What I like the most here is the legibility of its dial.The green SuperLuminova looks extremely contrast to the black PVD-coated face of the watch and will certainly provide superb legibility in any lighting conditions.The watch is powered by a well-known La Joux-Perret Caliber 3532 automatic movement.Based on the ubiquitous ETA Caliber 2892 with a seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock and a big date window at 12 o’clock, the movement is a COSC-certified chronometer, and is not only very accurate, but is also quite robust.The Swiss watch maker plans to present the Concord C1 Radar in the beginning of the next year at Baselworld 2011 international show.Its MSRP is predicted to be around $8900.
