Review
Blomman Mr Blue shares his impressions of the Girard-Perregaux Chrono Hawk Ref. 49970 in stainless steel with a grey dial, observed during a manufacture visit. He highlights its sporty aesthetic and distinctive dial pattern, while also posing a question to the community about its wearability compared to the Sea Hawk.
Friends,
At the manufacture I had the chance to see the Chrono Hawk in stainless steel with grey dial.
For me this is a typical summer’s watch!
Big sporty, casual dressed, ready for any outdoor activities.
The grey dial with the “waffle” pattern is really nice! Give the watch some good depths to the dial.
What puzzle’s me is that even if the Sea Hawk and the Chrono Hawk have the same diameter (44 mm) I find the Sea Hawk much easier to wear…
Any owners here in the forum that could share some experience’s?
Do you have the same feeling?
Best

On the one hand, I do like the bold shape and the depth of the dial. On the other hand, I need a bigger wrist for this watch to make sense. Here is another shot from me of the Grey Dial, without yur signature gravel. On the wrist, I prefered the white dial over the grey, but same issue with size. CC
Yes, this watch really requires a strong wrist... The white dial makes the watch look somewhat smaller. Not sure which color I prefer. Best Blomman
A matter of taste, certainly. Best, Nicolas
Case shape of the Sea Hawk would normally make me feel more uncomfortable. But here I agree, much warmer feelings for the Sea Hawk! Best Blomman
