Girard-Perregaux 1966 Orion

1966 - A timeless essential Honouring the brand's award-winning technical advances in chronometry Glistening blue aventurine dial inspired by the stars at night Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal case back Powered by the reliable in- house manufactured calibre GP03300 movement A TIMELESS ESSENTIAL Paying tribute to Leonardo da Vinci's artistic philosophy “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”, the 1966 collection offers innovative, contemporary reiterations of classic designs inspired by the 1960s. Honouring the award-winning technical advances in chronometry the brand achieved in this iconic decade, including the Neuchâtel Observatory Centenary Prize, the 1966 collection is incredibly versatile, ranging from elegant dress watches to sportier, dual time designs. This 1966 Orion model was created as a poetical reference to Orion's mythological constellation and its belt consisting of three bright stars easily recognisable at night. A JOURNEY IN THE STARS Classic in terms of functions and lines, this well-balanced timepiece is beautifully presented in a polished, round 40mm stainless steel case, softly domed with curved lines. Staying loyal to the brand's innate codes of elegance, at the heart of this breath-taking timepiece sits a gently hand-polished, blue aventurine dial, inspired by the glistening night skies. Complimenting the dial, the midnight blue alligator leather strap is perfectly integrated to the case, ensuring maximum comfort and a sophisticated silhouette. Paying homage to the famous calibre 3000, the origin of the 1966 collection, this timepiece is powered by the reliable calibre GP03300 in- house manufactured self-winding movement, crafted from 218 components and offering a 46-hour power reserve.
