Concord C1 Summer

Press Release

C1 SEAFARER & C1 ZEST

The dynamic new versions of the famous C1 chronograph, the new C1 Seafarer and C1 Zest, are simply brimming with energy. Endowed with a vigorous design that sets the tone and a complex construction that excludes any half-measures, the summery Concord models are taking the measure of the season in limited editions.

Cool breezes or sunbathing? One is blue and the other orange. The COSC-certified C1 Seafarer and C1 zest radiate contagious energy. Whether underscoring the chronograph counters, taking their place on the central sweep seconds hand, or enlivening the straps as a total look or as overstitching, orange and blue cheerfully invade the functions and the construction of these watches. Enhanced by the immaculate white of the iconic vulcanized ring topping the middle, they radiate a dynamic approach to life and to time, while exuding extraordinary vitality.


C1 Seafarer lives up to its name by sailing freely amid blue "waters", driven by the regular cadence of its self-winding "engine". The white chronograph counters and the structured fiberglass-look dial are an invitation to revel in escapism, while the blue rubber-coated alligator leather strap also adopts the maritime look.

Meanwhile, the sunny, enthusiastic personality of the C1 Zest glows against a white, orange and black background that catches the gaze, lights up the passing hours and allows time to blossom. The black chronograph counters and the small seconds disc stand out against the orange honeycomb-pattern background, further enhancing their readability.

C1 Zest

In harmony with the tried and trusted Concord mechanisms and construction principles, these stainless steel limited editions are built like impregnable fortresses.

Behind this colorful and refreshing design lie the rigorous standards and impetuous strength of a construction that is truly unique in its kind.
