Friends,

This Friday it is time to go back to the old Sea Hawk II and have a quick look!

Reference 49950: strong stainless steel case, helium vent, turning bezel.

Water resistant down to 1000 meters, sub-second, power reserve indicator and date.

A cool tool watch!

Maybe not on for this week’s WristScan theme “Festive watches” but one for some summer action for sure!

Please come join us in the WristScan, maybe show a more elegant Girard-Perregaux as the GP 1966?

Best

I quite like this strong looking watch. Fro once, I think that the latest one...

Goes farther, in the coolness, though. Best, Nicolas

I more and more ...

Consider this one as my next modern Sea Hawk.... Since I can't make up my mind about the current - which version to go for.... This one may be a good option for me while thinking! ;) Best Blomman

There were several versions of the former, too, so you will face the same issue.

Unless you go the Blomman way, and you take them all... ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas
