Swiss automatic movement: Soprod C125

Since 1966, Soprod SA has been developing and offering mechanical movements and watch complications. This renowned Swiss manufacturer belongs to the Festina industrial group. It should be noted that Soprod is also present in France, with its factory in Maîche, where the manufacturer develops bridges and plates, essential parts in the manufacture of watch movements. It is thanks to its factories in Switzerland and France that Soprod, like us with our workshop in Paris, ensures total control over its production.

The history of the C125:

It was with the desire to compete with Sellita's SW300 and ETA's 2892 that Soprod developed the M100. Indeed, the proportions are similar and allow manufacturers to choose this movement rather than Sellita and ETA in their already existing cases, but with a unique and refined movement architecture. The C125 will be born from a base of M100 to which a GMT complication has been added.

The C125 movement is intended to be more high-end and thinner than the Soprod P024 or the ETA 2824, with approximately 1 mm less.

Soprod movements at the heart of our collections

At Charlie Paris, we've chosen to collaborate with Soprod, a Swiss watchmaker renowned for the quality and precision of its movements. Several of our collections incorporate these exceptional calibers, guaranteeing watches that are as high-performance as they are elegant. From the Concordia to the Alliance Phase de Lune, each model benefits from Soprod's expertise, bringing a touch of refinement and robustness.

Concordia GMT : Powered by the C125 caliber, this diver's watch is the perfect travel companion. Its bidirectional automatic movement offers an accuracy of -7/+7 seconds per day and a 42-hour power reserve. The Concordia GMT is distinguished by its 24-hour display, allowing a clear reading of the second time zone, and its water resistance of 300 meters thanks to its screw-down crown.

Concordia Automatic : With the P024 caliber , the Concordia Automatic combines sportiness and elegance. This automatic movement ensures a 42-hour power reserve, great precision and robustness. Its refined design, complemented by its water resistance to 300 meters, makes it a watch as suitable for the depths of the sea as it is for everyday use.

Moon Phase Wedding Band : We chose the C105 caliber, a self-winding mechanical movement that brings one of our most iconic pieces to life. This caliber guarantees the precision of the hour, minute, second, date, and perpetual moon phase functions, with a 42-hour power reserve. Thanks to its delicate movement and meticulous finishing, the C105 perfectly embodies the watchmaking art of Charlie Paris, combining sophistication and expertise.

With these exceptional calibers, each Charlie Paris watch is a promise of precision and durability, combining Swiss know-how with refined design.
