Just came across this insane Concord on eBay

This is just an absolute spec monster:

  • 600 feet water resistance (not sure how that applies given it's a vintage piece)

  • Chronograph

  • GMT

  • Tritium lume

  • Valjoux 72 movement

This is not an endorsement but god damn.

In case you wanna see it for yourself, here's the link

Cool find! It looks exactly like the old NG GMT Chrono.

The resemblance is a little too uncanny, it could be the same watch rebadged between the two?

It’s possible! I feel like digging into this more. I’ll let you know if I come up with anything else.

Something interesting I already know:

Concord is owned by the Movado Group. When Nivada came to the U.S. they had to change their name because of Movado.

Now we have two matching watches from each brand? 🤔

Interesting indeed.

Very cool watch. Nivada did make watches for other brands, LeJour for example. I have a Austin Premier branded Chronomaster as well. Both watches look like a homage of a Heuer Autavia GMT with a bit of Enicar Sherpa Jet thrown in, with the GMT hand!

UPDATE: The Concord with the Valjoux 72 sold for US $4838 after 52 bids.

I saw in this thread a discussion of watches that have different brands but look the same...

I have this Rivington DATOMATIC watch that I purchased at auction. Swiss parts, assembled in Hong Kong.

I have also seen the identical watch with the brand GENEVA in place of Rivington, as well as the names Remington and even Lucerne. One watch, four DATOMATIC brands! Someone was making it for whomever wanted their brand name on it, apparently.
