When independent Parisian watchmaker Charlie Paris launched the original Concordia in 2018, it was designed to survive one of the most punishing environments on Earth: adventurer Matthieu Tordeur’s 1,150-kilometre solo expedition across Antarctica in temperatures dropping to -37°C.
Building upon that polar-tested pedigree, the brand has expanded the collection with a travel-ready complication—the Charlie Paris Concordia GMT Watch which is celebrating the return of expeditions to Northern Norway.
Combining French design aesthetics, true 300-metre water resistance, and an accessible entry price starting at €645 on strap options (rising to €695 on a matching steel link bracelet), this 40.5mm tool watch brings serious utility to modern globetrotters.

Designed and assembled in the heart of Paris, the Concordia GMT balances muscular field specs with tailored Parisian refinement. Its 316L stainless steel case measures 40.5mm in diameter with a wrist-friendly 47.5mm lug-to-lug span.
At 11.75mm thick (extending to 13.5mm at the peak of its domed sapphire crystal), the case sits comfortably low against the wrist while maintaining an authoritative presence.
The finishing showcases an intentional interplay of brushed surfaces and hand-polished bevels, catching the light without appearing overly dressy. Despite its sleek lines, the watch is engineered for severe aquatic duty, boasting a 300-metre (30 ATM) depth rating.
The screw-down crown features an ingenious anodised aluminium red safety marker on the stem, giving wearers an immediate visual warning if the crown is not fully sealed before diving.
Textured “Snow” Dial & Dual-Colour Luminescence
Framed by a 3mm domed sapphire crystal treated with an anti-reflective coating, the dial is an impressive display of depth and texture.
The sandblasted “snow” white surface pays direct tribute to the watch’s Antarctic origin, providing an ultra-legible backdrop for faceted, volumetric hands and applied index markers.
“Designed in Paris and built on polar exploration heritage, the Concordia GMT combines 300m water resistance with dual-colour Super-LumiNova for split-second dual-time tracking.”
For global travel, a two-tone 24-hour inner flange displays day and night hours across your secondary time zone, working in tandem with a unidirectional 24-hour anodised aluminium timing bezel.
Charlie Paris implemented a thoughtful dual-luminescence setup using Super-LumiNova: local time hands and indices glow in a vivid green, while the GMT hand and 24-hour rehaut glow in electric blue, preventing any confusion during nocturnal time-checking.
Reliable Seiko Engineering & Versatile Ergonomics
Visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback—stamped with a custom-engraved CHARLIE winding rotor—beats the Japanese TMI/Seiko NH34 automatic GMT movement.
Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz) across 24 jewels with a 41-hour power reserve, the NH34 has rapidly become a favourite engine in microbrand horology, celebrated for its legendary reliability and low maintenance demands.
