Concord Blue Watches

Concord introduced a new C1 Chronograph, with a special blue treatment, last month at the Baselworld show. Like the original C1 Chronograph, it comes in a large, but wearable 44 mm size. It has the same signature vulcanized rubber around the bezel and on the crown and pushers, that is seen on all C1 timepieces. Inside, is a nicely decorated automatic chronograph movement (an ETA Valgranges A07.211) with blued screws and a blackened oscillating weight. The dial is carbon fiber and blue, with an exposed date indicator and a three subdials, at 6, 9 and 12 o'clock. The coolest feature, and what sets this apart from all other C1 chronographs, is the blue PVD case. It has basically been run through a washing machine - giving it a faded blue "destructed look".

Concord's contribution to the world of watch *** is indisputable, as every new timepiece introduced on the market by Concord is the ultimate statement of innovation, progress and originality. Concord has always been against static and conventional designs and the new Concord C1 Chronograph watch seems to be the full embodiment of Concord's core values. This time Concord offers us the alternative to the those dull designs and traditional functions in watch manufacturing, with the creation of the latest model called the Concord C1 Chronograph watch, especially designed for those who seek progress and not static design, for those who prefer innovation and not tested functionality, and last, but not least, for those who appreciate quality and genuine performance. The new Concord C1 Chronograph watch represents a beautiful combination between trendy design and highly reliable mechanism designed with the help of state-of-the-art technologies. The 44 mm in diameter case of the new Concord C1 Chronograph manages to make a first impression as a sturdy construction created especially for powerful men. The case is made of no less than 53 components, assembled so perfectly and smoothly that they assure a closing that can offer up to 20 ATM of water-pressure, without harming in any way the mechanism. The sapphire crystal covering the case is smoothly assembled as to give the impression of a unitary globe case. The special design feature of the new Concord C1 Chronograph watch is given by the rubber finishing applied on its case and the fact that the strap is made from the same rubber material adds a nice touch of harmony. The mechanism activating this impressive Concord C1 Chronograph watch is a self-winding mechanical movement, visible through the transparent case back and which offers a 48 hours of power reserve. This mechanism was the result of years of work from the part of the designers from Concord, but as we can all see, it was well worth the effort and time invested in its manufacturing. The dial uses a Concord pattern as it has skeletonized features and is made of carbon fiber to assure the best resistance. The dial is equipped with three sub-dials, one for the 30 minutes counter located at the 12 o'clock position, another one for the 12 hour counter at 12 o'clock and the small second at 9 o'clock. The date is located at the 3 o'clock position, providing the owner not only with information on the current day, but also on the previous and future day. The rubber strap doesn't stray from the strap pattern that Concord has familiarized us with and it approaches a very sport and innovative appearance, being equipped with a clasp that has inscribed on it the logo from Concord.
