C8 M2.04 Concorde LE #23/50
Couple of quick phone photos.
I've seen a few comments expressing reservations about the readability of the hour and minutes hands (legibility is not an issue).
The answer I feel is there is no problem, once your eye/brain is attuned to what is being looked at; in the same way a Regulator Watch initially looks strange but once acclimatised, no problem.

C8 M2.04 Concorde LE on (older) C8 Regulator MkI brown leather strap
C8 M2.04 Concorde LE on Zuludiver Marine Nationale grey/yellow NATO with blasted finish fittings.
The grey has a green hue under the lights and, in daylight, is perhaps best described as Admiralty / Marine grey.

I'm getting some other, similar, NATOs and a couple of very special straps from Mansarea.
Unlike my C9 Me 109 SPC, which only looks good on an original CW vintage Khaki canvas strap, the Concorde seems to be a lot more flexible with a variety of different styles.

Re: C8 M2.04 Concorde LE #23/50
I can't fathom how difficult it is to read the time between 7 and 11. Maybe it's easier in person than it looks! It's probably got more visually going on than I'd like.
Looks a great strap combo.
