Pequignet Concorde - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

Pequignet Concorde was launched in 2023 to mark the brand’s 50th anniversary, as a French sport-chic watch with an integrated bracelet, debuting in 36 and 40 mm steel, later joined by a 30 mm quartz model and a 36 mm titanium version. Born from a sharp-edged, softened cushion shape with a signature obelisk-link bracelet, it houses the in-house automatic Calibre Initial displayed through a sapphire back.

Visual signature: contemporary cushion, “obelisk” links and lively dials

The case mixes curves and crisp lines, with a finely brushed bezel and a screwed sapphire back; the integrated bracelet’s spearhead links echo Paris’s Place de la Concorde obelisk and even inspire the crown’s teeth. This exclusive mesh makes the watch instantly recognizable without becoming showy. Navy blue, champagne, gold and pink dials play with light, and a discreet 3 o’clock date appears on several versions.

Steel or titanium, two sizes and 100 m: an everyday companion

In steel, Concorde comes in 36 mm (~9.25 mm thick) and 40 mm (~9.45 mm), water-resistant to 10 ATM (100 m), with AR sapphire and a six-screw display back; the 36 mm titanium model enhances lightness (about 84 g on bracelet) while retaining 100 m. The spec is deliberately practical so you can wear it from desk to weekend without thinking. Ergonomics (integrated lugs, supple links) support comfort: it slides under a cuff yet keeps a crisp wrist presence.

Calibre Initial: 65 hours, 4 Hz and local sourcing

Inside is the Calibre Initial®, automatic 4 Hz, 21 jewels, hacking seconds, bi-directional winding and around 65 hours of power reserve; an openworked rotor and a sapphire back showcase the mechanics. According to the brand, 72% of components are French and all parts are sourced within roughly 80 km of Morteau, with assembly in France; ruthenium treatment and sandblasted textures appear on some finishes. A patented semi-instant date at 3 o’clock features on several references.

Timeline anchors and principal models (2023–2025)

(2023) Pequignet Concorde 36 mm Calibre Initial:

The compact, dress-leaning take: 36 mm steel (~9.25 mm), 100 m, AR sapphire front/back (six-screw caseback), exclusive obelisk bracelet and rich dials (blue, champagne, gold, pink). The 3 o’clock semi-instant date (selected versions) stays discreet and useful. This 36 mm aims for all-day comfort with a clearly sport-chic personality. The 65-hour Initial calibre appears under the sapphire, with Fleur-de-Lys rotor detailing and easy day-to-day legibility.

(2023) Pequignet Concorde 40 mm Calibre Initial:

More wrist presence in steel: 40 mm (~9.45 mm), 100 m, the same caseback/bracelet architecture, luminous dials and clean brushed-polished transitions. The 40 mm keeps the family’s slim feel but increases dial “openness”, handy if you prefer airier reading. The French identity is reinforced by the obelisk mesh and local movement sourcing; the spec remains ~65 h autonomy with stop-seconds and bi-directional winding. 

(2023) Pequignet Concorde 30 mm (Quartz):

For very slim wrists and zero-fuss ownership, the 30 mm opts for a dependable quartz movement, 100 m water-resistance and the same integrated bracelet design. It keeps Concorde’s aesthetics in a truly easygoing footprint, ideal as an everyday jewelry-leaning piece with set-and-forget precision between battery changes. Dial options (including pink) extend the sport-chic vibe, with the signature obelisk link sealing the collection’s look.

(2023) Pequignet Concorde “Imperial Green” 36 mm:

An emblematic launch tone, deep green highlights the dial relief and case facets while playing off the obelisk bracelet. Specs stay true to the platform: 36 mm, 100 m, 65-hour Initial calibre, six-screw sapphire back. The green/steel contrast yields a characterful yet office-friendly presence for wearers who want colour beyond the usual blue/black.

(2024) Pequignet Concorde 36 mm Steel/Gold-tone dials (gold & champagne):

Warm, dressier-leaning dials with the same 100 m practicality, bracelet ergonomics and long-running automatic movement. Gold or champagne adds chic glow without sacrificing legibility, with a discreet date where fitted. A natural pick if you want a Concorde that pairs easily with formal wear while preserving sport-chic DNA.

(2024) Pequignet Concorde 36/40 mm Diamond-set bezel (selection):

Certain references bring a gem-set bezel for a more jewellery-like expression; the technical base remains (Initial calibre, 100 m, sapphire back). The setting increases sparkle without altering the core design or ease of use—a customization path for those wanting a precious accent in a sport-chic frame.

(2025) Pequignet Concorde Titanium 36 mm:

The latest, lighter execution in titanium (Grade 5), 36 mm x ~9.25 mm, 100 m, around 84 g including bracelet, with the Initial calibre featuring ruthenium treatment and sandblasted finishes for a monochrome look. The mass reduction enhances “second-skin” comfort without diluting the obelisk-mesh character. This is the most technical and lightweight Concorde, intended for intensive wear and maximum comfort.

Conclusion

Concorde concentrates a readable, contemporary French style: a sharp cushion case, a signature integrated bracelet, 100 m practicality and a locally rooted automatic movement, with a titanium option for extra lightness. It’s chosen for ease, personality without ostentation and seamless desk-to-weekend wear. To decide between sizes, materials and shades, rely on real-world try-on and user feedback; beyond specs, nothing beats Dialicious customer reviews.
