Concordia Black: Charlie Paris x Mearra | The Great North Adventure

Concordia Noir: When Polar Adventure Is Reborn in the Far North

Time is not just measured in seconds, it is experienced.

If the collection Concordia forged his legend in 2018 in the heart of the white expanses of Antarctica during the historic feat of Matthieu Tordeur, 1,150 km solo journey to the South Pole in -37°C, exploration continues to write its story. It lives in departures before dawn, in the breath of the polar wind, in the silent waiting in the face of immensity and in those suspended moments when one attunes oneself to the raw rhythm of the elements.

With its timeless black hue, Charlie Paris celebrates the very archetype of the tool watch: understated, functional, and uncompromising. To embody this major redesign of our sport-technical range, we set our sights on the remote reaches of Finnmark, in northern Norway, at the heart of an extraordinary Arctic and human expedition.

"Mearra": On the Borders of the Ocean and the Tundra with Thomas Meurot

Up there, where the icy swells of the Arctic Ocean hit the wild tundra, exploration goes beyond the simple quest for sporting performance.

As part of the campaign film " Mearra ", created by Thomas Meurot in collaboration with the No Palm Tree Surfing association, our watches accompanied a team that set out to hunt for waves untouched by human activity. But more than just a surfing expedition in the extreme cold, this adventure transformed into a rare encounter with the Sami people, the last indigenous people of Europe and guardians of a millennia-old culture in symbiosis with nature."

"An expedition is never simply about performance. It is made up of waiting and progress, of cold and wonder, of solitude and sharing."

On the wrist of a hand adjusting equipment in the blizzard, or a discreet witness to a fireside exchange that transcends language barriers, the Concordia Noire has proven itself in use: a reliable measuring instrument when the terrain imposes its rules, and immediately readable when the polar day fades.

The Essence of the Toolwatch: Matte Black Dial and Double Domed Sapphire Crystal

A true benchmark for contrast and legibility, this black version features a clean finish designed to eliminate any unwanted reflections. The dial boasts new faceted applied hour markers and technically advanced hands with a generous amount of material. Super-LumiNova® luminescent to remain legible in total darkness.

This new generation marks a significant step up in both aesthetics and technology: the integration of a double-domed sapphire crystal. This scratch-resistant, anti-reflective crystal ensures perfect optical clarity from all angles, without distortion at the edges, while giving the watch the characteristic curve of great historical diving watches.

Two complementary mechanisms are now available to adventurers: the travel complication with the Automatic GMT, or the sharp efficiency of the Quartz.

Concordia GMT Automatic Black: The Caliber for Long Journeys

Designed to cross meridians, the new Concordia GMT rethinks the balance between high-tech watchmaking, robustness and accessibility.

• Dual time zone and readability: Its 24-hour graduated bezel allows you to instantly distinguish day from night, while the Charlie-engraved oscillating weight is revealed through a flat sapphire transparent case back.
  
• Seiko NH34 caliber: A proven Japanese automatic mechanical movement (41 hours power reserve, date window) for unwavering reliability in the field.
  
• Architecture designed for action: Case 40.5 mm in 316L steel, double domed sapphire crystal and screw-down crown guaranteeing total water resistance to 300 meters (30 ATM).
  

Concordia Black Quartz: Finesse and Spirit “Sweep-Second”

For a more compact fit without compromising on robustness, it concentrates the essentials of the tool watch in an ultra-versatile 38mm case.

• Seiko VH31 Fluid Movement: Its second hand beats at 4 beats per second and glides continuously across the black dial, combining the grace of a mechanical movement with the precision of quartz.
  
• A tribute to our origins: Its solid screw-down base features the historic engraving "Objectif Pôle Sud", a nod to the polar pedigree of the range.
  
• Sharp profile: At 10.1 mm thick, it offers absolute comfort on the wrist while maintaining extreme water resistance of 30 ATM.
