Inheriting the DNA of the First-Generation "Sea Hawk" and "Laureato"



The new "Hawk" collection inherits the legacy of the first-generation "Sea Hawk," introduced in the 1940s for its ergonomic design and ease of operation, and the "Laureato," known for its modern, sporty aesthetic. It encapsulates the Manufacture's rich history dating back to 1791, including its pioneering mass production of military watches in the 1880s, and numerous other milestones that have shaped watchmaking history.

Both models are equipped with the in-house automatic mechanical movement GP3300. The 44mm stainless steel case, reminiscent of the robust and powerful octagonal "Laureato," features a dial highlighted with a motif inspired by Girard-Perregaux's famous Girard-Perregaux bridges.

The "Sea Hawk," boasting a water resistance of up to 1000 meters, is fitted with a unidirectional rotating bezel for measuring dive times. For enhanced legibility, orange accents are applied to the indices and hands. The matte steel case, rubber bezel, and rubber strap combine to create a distinctly sporty feel.

Meanwhile, the "Chrono Hawk" presents a novel and contemporary appearance, harmonizing its edges with a circular bezel. The beauty of its symmetry is emphasized, with the two counters facing each other at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. Through the sapphire case back, one can admire the beautifully performing movement. The strap is a leather model with a rubber lining, lending the watch a strong presence and showcasing meticulous attention to detail in its design.

The "Sea Hawk" is slated for release at 987,000 yen, and the "Chrono Hawk" at 1,260,000 yen. These sports watches, a fusion of innovation capable of withstanding harsh conditions and the Manufacture's tradition, may well become the new signature of the Maison.
