Concordia Bordeaux: Charlie Paris x Jeff Corsi | Urban Adventure

Concordia Bordeaux: When Polar Adventure Glides on Parisian Asphalt

Waves are not always found where you expect them to be.

If the collection Concordia forged its legend in the heart of storms and extreme cold of Antarctica during the historic expedition of Matthieu Tordeur, Exploration isn't measured solely in thousands of kilometers or degrees below zero. Sometimes, adventure begins simply on the street corner. In a cobbled alleyway in the early morning, on a sharp turn in the still-fresh asphalt, in that singular way of traversing Paris with curiosity and intensity.

With the new Bordeaux hue, Charlie Paris infuses its most robust tool watch with a warm, urban elegance. To capture this natural transition between wide-open spaces and urban dynamism, we entrusted these new pieces to Jeff Corsi, professional longboarder and friend of the brand.

"Urban Waves": Paris as a Playground with Jeff Corsi

In the streets of the capital, Jeff Corsi does not move: he draws lines, anticipates traffic and transforms street furniture into a succession of fluid trajectories.

"The ocean taught him to resist. The city invites him to slip away."

This campaign, called Urban Waves, brings together two worlds guided by the same requirement: the precision of movement and total freedom of movement. On a longboard, every push counts, every second of inattention changes everything. On Jeff's wrist, the Concordia Bordeaux It brings this absolute serenity: unwavering resistance combined with a refined aesthetic that integrates naturally into the Parisian wardrobe.

The Smoked Bordeaux Dial: TheAlliance Style and Readability

The common thread between these two new models lies in their exclusive dial. Featuring a vertically smoked burgundy finish and a slightly sandblasted texture, it captures light with nuance: deep and discreet under diffused light, vibrant and warm in the sun.

To guarantee instant readability in all circumstances (at dusk as well as in the city tunnels), the indices and hands are generously equipped with Super-LumiNova®.

Two horological visions are now available to everyday explorers: the call of travel with the GMT Automatic, or the sharp efficiency of Quartz.

Concordia GMT Automatic Bordeaux: The Tool for Frequent Travelers

For those who always keep an eye on another time zone, the automatic GMT version brings a practical complication in an impeccable sport-chic format.

Two time zones, two nocturnal hues: Its two-tone 24-hour bezel allows for immediate distinction between day and night. A detail designed for enthusiasts: the luminescence is differentiated by Super-LumiNova®, green for local time and blue for the GMT hand.
TMI NH34 caliber: Robust Japanese self-winding mechanical movement, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a 41-hour power reserve and date window. The oscillating weight engraved with Charlie can be admired through a transparent sapphire crystal case back.
Architecture designed for action: Case 40.5 mm in 316L steel, unidirectional rotating bezel with red anodized aluminium insert, ultra-domed 3 mm thick sapphire crystal, and screw-down crown equipped with a red safety indicator guaranteeing total water resistance to 300 metres (30 ATM).

Concordia Quartz Bordeaux: Finesse, Precision and a "Sweep-Second" Spirit

For a more compact carry without any compromise on sturdiness, the Concordia Quartz bordeaux synthesizes the original spirit of the collection in an ultra-versatile 38mm case.

The Seiko VH31 "Sweep-Second" movement: No more jerky jumps from the classic seconds hand. Thanks to its 4 beats per second, the seconds hand glides smoothly and continuously across the dial, recalling the visual elegance of a mechanical movement with the absolute precision of quartz.
A tribute to our origins: Its solid screw-down case back features the historic engraving "Objectif Pôle Sud", recalling the expedition pedigree of the range.
Ideal proportions: With a thickness of only 10.1 mm (11.1 mm with its domed sapphire crystal), it slips easily under a shirt while maintaining extreme water resistance of 30 ATM (300 m).
