Concord’s elegant C2 line of sporty chronographs has recently received yet another upgrade. Called Concord C2 GraffitiGrey watch replica, the new wrist watch features the same energetically shaped, medium-sized body in black PVD steel, which is accompanied with a nicely tinted sapphire glass and grey Superluminova accents on the three-dimensional dial. Powered by the robust and reliable ETA 2894-2 movement, the new chronograph sports the same stainless steel body that, measuring just 43 millimeters in diameter and less than 13 millimeters in height, doesn’t look too bulky on an average wrist.
I am not really sure about the legibility of the watch, at least in twilight or in places like a movie or a theater. Judging by the press photos, the light-grey Superluminova, as well as the grey rhodium coating on the hands, doesn’t look particularly contrast on the black background of the dial and the tinted sapphire crystal, in its own turn, doesn’t make their job any easier.
Judging by the officially unveiled specs, the watch sports the same technical characteristics as the stealthy mens fake Concord C2 Chronograph Matte-Black watch (Refs. SKU 0320141 / 0320138) that was presented almost exactly a year ago.
Still, thanks to the polished radar-style small seconds indicator and chronograph hour and minute hands, the new C2 GraffitiGrey looks very stylish and pleasant to look at. To my taste, the black-stitched alligator leather strap could have been darker a shade or two to better accompany the black body of the pieces, but this is, again, just a matter of personal preferences.
The price is still unknown, but I would dare to say that it will be around $6000-$6500.

As was with the previous model, the Concord copy watch will be easy to operate thanks to its oversized setting crown and a pair of chronograph push-pieces that also seem to be large enough to be operated without inflicting any discomfort for the owner.
