STROND SSC‑101 GMT Concorde Watch Blue Dial

The SSC‑101 GMT in blue brings a composed, quietly confident presence to the wrist. Its 316L stainless steel case frames a deep blue dial that shifts with the light, giving the watch a calm, contemporary clarity. The design draws directly from Concorde 101, the first and fastest Concorde ever built, grounding the piece in genuine aviation heritage rather than symbolic inspiration.

At the 4h position sits the defining detail of the SSC‑101 series. A dial tag cut from the bottom panel of Concorde 101’s air‑intake section, the structure that housed the Rolls‑Royce Olympus engines responsible for its world‑record performance. This is not a reproduction. It is a real fragment of the aircraft that set the still‑unbroken commercial flight speed record of 1,450 miles per hour. The material introduces a sense of authenticity and origin that becomes part of the watch’s emotional weight.

The 41 millimeter case houses a Swiss‑made Ronda 515.24H quartz movement with a true GMT function and quick‑correction capability. Sapphire crystal provides clarity and durability, while the luminescent hands and markers maintain legibility in low light. The watch arrives with two straps: a rustic brown calfskin leather strap and a blue NATO strap made from seatbelt‑grade material, both fitted with quick‑release spring bars for easy changes.

This is a timepiece for people who appreciate objects with intention, craft, and provenance. A watch that feels grounded in history yet designed for everyday wear.

Collector’s note

Each watch includes a certificate of authenticity and is individually numbered. Any certificate images shown in supplier media are sample assets and do not represent the specific edition number of the watch you will receive.
