Concorde Navy Blue 40mm Watch 9040473

The Watch

Pequignet has been upholding the art of French watchmaking since 1973, crafting exceptional timepieces that marry elegant design with cutting-edge technical quality. As one of France's truly independent haute horlogerie houses, Pequignet carved out its place in history with the Royal Caliber - the very first movement manufactured in France. To mark its 50th anniversary in style, the brand unveils the Concorde collection, a line of beautifully crafted, high-performance watches. This model features a square case with rounded edges, machined from 316L stainless steel and finished in silver with a combination of polished and satin surfaces for a sophisticated look. The diameter measures 40 mm with a thickness of 9.25 mm - proportions ideally suited to men's wrists. The case is topped by a highly scratch-resistant flat sapphire crystal that shields the dial from everyday impacts and abrasions. Hours, minutes, and the date are set via the crown at 3 o'clock, finished in grey and engraved with the brand's raised "Fleur de Lys" logo. The case back is secured by 6 screws and features a sapphire crystal exhibition window for a full view of the movement. Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM.

The Dial

This round dial showcases a rich navy blue backdrop that makes reading the time effortless. Grey-toned hour markers add instant legibility, while analog time is displayed through three hands in polished steel. The hour and minute hands feature a skeleton design treated with SuperLuminova TC1, ensuring perfect readability even in low-light conditions. They are joined by a slender seconds hand. The dial surround is framed by a minute track accompanied by twelve baton indexes. A date window at 3 o'clock adds everyday practicality. The brand name is displayed at 12 o'clock, while the manufacture's name appears between the 5 and 7 o'clock indexes.

The Movement

This watch is powered by an automatic movement - more specifically, Pequignet's proprietary Initial caliber with bidirectional winding. Its 21 jewels minimize friction, and it beats at an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz), complete with a stop-seconds mechanism. The power reserve on this Concorde reaches 65 hours.

The Bracelet

Perfectly complementing the silver tone of this timepiece, the bracelet is crafted from satin-finished 316L stainless steel - comfortable, sturdy, and built to last. Slipping it on is effortless, thanks to its deployant clasp.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this boldly styled timepiece is equally at home at a black-tie gala and in the water. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or the pool (yes, even during an intense swim session!). That said, our watchmaking experts want to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or use with high-pressure washers. Remember: shower, bath, and swimming only - and never operate the pushers or crown while submerged.
