CONCORD – Saratoga Mariner Collection

















CONCORD   Saratoga MARINER Collection


Concord Mariner brings a golden edge to easy days and fun-filled nights on the marina.

It’s fun in the sun time for the new Concord Mariner following the re-launch of the brand’s iconic 1980s collection at Baselworld 2014. Concord now introduces new men’s and women’s stainless steel models accented by rose gold with diamonds, evoking the summer sun’s warm glow and the cool sparkle of azure seas.

The unmistakable angles and smooth, slim ergonomic planes composing a masterpiece of contemporary nautical delights on the 41mm case of the Mariner Gent and Mariner Gent Automatic now playfully blend stainless steel with a bold touch of rose gold. The solid 18K rose gold bezel, reminiscent of brass portholes and exclusive yacht trimmings, suggests the warmth of the sun’s rays. And when it comes to the lovely Mariner Lady, the smaller 30 mm stainless steel case with its fine 18K rose gold edging and bezel bedecked with 70 spectacular diamonds is enough to put a sparkle in any girl’s eye…

The clean lines of a silver-toned dial for him and luminous white mother-of-pearl dial for her seem to slide effortlessly into the supple, ergonomically designed stainless steel and rose gold-plated link bracelet, delivering Concord’s legendary style and comfort. The case-backs of the quartz pieces bear a distinctive wind-rose logo, a depiction of the graphic tool used by meteorologists to provide a succinct view of how wind speed and direction are distributed at a specific location. The wind-rose represents the Concord Mariner’s attitude of pointing men and women in the direction of the pleasures associated with marina life: time out filled with a wealth of relaxed moments and an enticingly adventurous spirit.

The Mariner Gent and Lady models are equipped with ETA quartz movements featuring a 94-month battery life. The Gent Automatic model with open case-back is powered by a Sellita self-winding mechanical movement with 42-hour power reserve. An integrated black calf leather strap secures this streamlined seafarer’s choice to the wrist. And like all good sailors, the Mariner Lady, Gent and Gent Automatic are all water resistant to 50 metres.

The perfect accessory for men and women with a 21st century attitude – sociable, carefree and fun-loving – these latest rose gold-infused additions to the new Concord Mariner Collection represent the essence of a chic, contemporary marina lifestyle combined with a warm, intimate sense of belonging.

Concord was founded in Biel, Switzerland in 1908. The MGI Luxury Group acquired the traditional Swiss luxury brand in the early 1970s, and subsequently re-launched it as a dynamic, highly original niche brand for a new millennium. The brand has embraced the challenge of a bold repositioning strategy that transcends its already extraordinary horological achievements of the past.

Inspired by the 1969 model of the original OMEGA Speedmaster Mark II, the polished and brushed stainless steel case is barrel-shaped and has a polished crown and pushers. Beneath a flat scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is a matt black dial featuring a 30-minute recorder at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour recorder at 6 o’clock and a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock. The sub-dials are decorated with a bronze ring, 18K yellow gold ring and 925 silver ring respectively – a design that recalls the medals awarded to Olympic champions.

The transparent tachymeter scale on the sapphire crystal is illuminated from beneath by an aluminium ring filled with Super-LumiNova. The varnished white and black hour and minute hands, chronograph seconds hand and hour markers are also coated with Super-LumiNova, making it possible to read the time in a variety of lighting conditions. The Speedmaster Mark II is the first watch in OMEGA’s collection that makes it possible for the wearer to see the tachymeter scale in the dark.
