Charlie Paris Watch: Concordia Quartz Bordeaux 300 m

Charlie Paris: the Concordia Rouge, a French 300-meter water-resistant quartz tool watch

The Charlie Paris Concordia Rouge Quartz is a 38mm French sports watch designed as a true tool watch. Its 316L stainless steel case features alternating polished and brushed finishes, while its burgundy red dial embodies the boldness of the Concordia collection. Designed and assembled in Paris, the Charlie Concordia Bordeaux also maintains water resistance of 30 ATM / 300 meters.

The Concordia Rouge Quartz features highly versatile proportions with a 38mm diameter, 45.5mm lug-to-lug length, and only 10.1mm thickness excluding the crystal, or 11.1mm including the crystal. Its dial is protected by a 3mm-thick domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, while the indices and hands use Super-LumiNova® to ensure good legibility in the dark.

The Charlie Concordia Rouge is powered by the Seiko VH31 caliber, a Japanese "Sweep Second" quartz movement. Its second hand advances in four movements per second, creating a motion that is visually smoother than a conventional quartz movement beating once per second.

Finally, the Charlie Paris Concordia Rouge features a screw-down crown, a screw-down steel case back engraved with "Objectif Pôle Sud," and a 20mm tool-free interchangeable strap. A variant of the Concordia Rouge is mounted on a 3-link steel bracelet. This construction directly echoes the history of the Concordia, initially developed in 2018 for Matthieu Tordeur's Antarctic expedition. However, there are many strap choices available for this Concordia Quartz.
