GIRARD-PERREGAUX – Vintage 1945 Lady





















GIRARD-PERREGAUXVintage 1945 Lady Brown Dial NEW

Girard-Perregaux once again pays tribute to femininity by unveiling a new version of its Vintage 1945 Lady model with an exclusive taupe and chocolate-coloured dial and a steel case set with 30 diamonds. Its classic, timeless style is directly inspired by a model created 70 years ago, the mechanical intricacies and endearing subtleties of which will seduce even the most elegant of our discerning female clientele.

Inspired by a model dating from 1945, the Vintage 1945 watch renews the codes of Art Deco, remaining faithful to the spirit of the original across the decades. The latest addition to this emblematic collection has been conceived as the ideal companion in every situation for female connoisseurs of Fine Watchmaking.

The new Vintage 1945 Lady watch presents an elegant face with its dial coloured chocolate and taupe, delicately decorated at its centre with a trail of 42 brilliant-cut diamonds. Inspired by the models that originated this collection, its gem-setting highlights a "rail track"-type minute-marking. The elegantly diamond-polished, dauphine-type hands are curved by the watchmaker by hand so as to follow the contours of the dial.

Delicately domed, its steel case is flanked by two brancards set with 30 diamonds that illuminate its gentle Art Deco-inspired design. With their discreet ornamentation, the gadroons at the base of each lug are additional examples of this influence. The watch’s doubly convex curves create a harmonious interplay of areas, while at the same time providing the wearer with maximum comfort on the wrist.

At the heart of this elegant timepiece beats an exceptional movement following in the long watchmaking tradition of the Manufacture. The GP02700 automatic-winding mechanical calibre is a reduced-size movement that has been specially adapted for ladies' watch models. Designed and produced in the Manufacture's own workshops and containing 178 components, it has a diameter of 19.40 mm and is 4,20 mm thick. It offers hours, minutes and date indications and has a 36-hour power reserve. Its case-back, held in place by screws and fitted with sapphire crystal, reveals all the sophistication of its calibre and its remarkable finishes, including that of its oscillating weight, engraved with a delicate "tapestry" of Girard-Perregaux logos.

This watchmaking jewel is attached to the wrist by means of either an alligator strap of the same colour as the dial with a triple folding clasp, or a stainless steel bracelet.

A few details concerning the Girard-Perregaux caliber GP02700

The latest addition to the Manufacture's range of automatic-winding calibres, the GP02700 has a compact, sophisticated structure. With a diameter of 19.40 mm and a thickness of 4.20 mm, it is perfectly suited for driving ladies' watch models.
  • Its unidirectional rotor is fitted with ceramic ball-bearings requiring no lubrication.
  • It has an escape-wheel pivoting between two combined settings. 
  • Its transversal balance-cock offers greater precision for controlling the shake of the balance. This solution consolidates its long-term performance and reliability and makes it considerably easier to set for watchmakers.

ORIS – Force Recon GMT
















ORIS –  Force Recon GMT Titanium Black DLC Automatic NEW

Combining Forces
Oris becomes the official partner of the United States
Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance.

Oris is very proud to announce a new partnership with the United States Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance, also known as Force Recon, one of the elite US Special Forces companies.

Force Recon is a special operations command unit – like the US Navy Seals or Army Special Forces – that operates independently behind enemy lines to provide military intelligence to Marine Air-Ground Task Forces, performing deep reconnaissance and direct action missions at sea and on land.

For Force Recon, Oris has created a high-performance, state-of the-art wristwatch designed to meet the unit’s demanding equipment standards. The Oris Force Recon GMT is based on Oris’s innovative ProDiver, the diver’s watch renowned for its Oris-developed Rotation Safety System, which locks the bezel into place according to the wearer’s requirements.

This special watch has a new Oris GMT movement, giving it a second time zone, indicated via a central hand and a 24-hour scale around the dial. It also has an innovative small seconds display at 9 o’clock, designed to show the wearer the watch is working in low-light conditions, a useful device when ‘going dark’.

The 49mm case is made of titanium and treated with a tough black DLC coating, while the unidirectional rotating bezel inlay is made of scratch-resistant matt black ceramic. The watch comes on a black rubber strap, with a black NATO fabric strap option included in the presentation case. The rubber strap features Oris’s pioneering quick-adjustment sliding sledge folding clasp, which can be adjusted while the watch is being worn. Protection and cover is offered by a ‘tactical watch cover’ – a mask with a retractable top section that wraps around the watch.

The dial carries the Force Recon emblem, which is also engraved on the case back. The watch comes in a black water resistant case, and will be delivered in June 2015.
