Friends, While celebrating Midsummer I had the chance to take some fresh “stone shots”… Since the stones are not mine, this is a “Limited Edition White Stones shots”! Here you have the Girard-Perregaux Deep Diver reference 8867 on White Stones: Any fresh stone shots you like to share? Best Blomman

The Girard-Perregaux Deep Diver, specifically reference 7897, represents an early foray into professional diving watches by the manufacture. Positioned as a robust yet accessible tool watch, it was featured in the 1963 German catalog, highlighting its water resistance and automatic movement. This model is notable for its distinct design elements and limited production run, making it a point of interest for collectors of vintage sports watches.
Measuring 35mm in diameter, the steel case housed an automatic GP 31-0 caliber. It was rated water-resistant to 200 meters and featured a turning bezel. Dial options included black or white, with variations in hand designs, specifically luminous arrow-shaped tips or diamond-shaped luminous markers. The watch was offered with either a steel bracelet or a tropical strap.
Produced for only two years, 1961 and 1962, with a total of 1500 units, the Ref. 7897 is a relatively scarce vintage diver. Its short production span and variations in dial and hand configurations contribute to its collectibility, offering a glimpse into Girard-Perregaux's historical contributions to the dive watch genre.
Here is another collecting hobby of mine, orders and medals and as you can see Hugenin Freres are real masters, the piece is a Serbian Order of St. Sava 4th class.
Yes, HF did a lot of cases. Among them Omega Seamaster 2913. They are still active! Make a search on the www and you will find them! Best Blomman
