[ 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.
