Concord embraces the chic appeal of the neo-black urban trend as boldly evidenced in the modern, understated interiors, luxury ëstealth-styleí yachts and sleek, powerful sports cars so eagerly sought after by a resolutely avant-garde and design-conscious elite. Eloquently embodying this ultra-contemporary aesthetic while enriching it with the brandís signature design twists, the new C2 Chronograph truly evokes the 21st century urban take on industrial-type design and construction. 

 

Tubular horizontal attachments embed the wristband firmly into the slightly slimmer 43 mm diameter black PVD-coated stainless steel case with its fascinating interplay of curves and angles. This seamlessly flowing look and feel is complemented by a sense of protection and security conferred by the 2 mm thick sapphire crystal, the strongbox-shaped case-back ensuring water resistance to 100 meters/10 atmospheres, the visible screws, and the triple-blade butterfly clasp.

 

The high-precision mechanical 27-jewel automatic movement beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour drives a wealth of useful indications, including the date and chronograph functions, all clearly displayed on the three-part tone-on-tone dial. The latter is exceptionally legible, thanks to its sophisticated color scheme, circular-grained and sandblasted finishing and beautifully balanced layout ñ as well as the luminescent hands and hour markers appearing on the inner bezel as an interpretation of Concordís signature protective tabs. 

 

In the red-highlighted version, the crimson-tipped rotating small seconds disk marker at 3 oíclock matches the bright accents on the vulcanized rubber strap.

 

The distinctive Concord design cues, conveyed through powerful lines, clean-cut angles and aerodynamic curves, find particularly vibrant expression in these racy, spirited all-matte black editions radiating an inimitably urban mix of strength elegance.
