Girard Perregaux - I checked my watchbox

I checked my watchbox

and found a nice diving watch.

The watch is made of titanium as well as the bracelet. I have also the rubber strap with titanium folding clasp.

I have been diving with this watch many times. Because it's the cheapest of my diving watches, I have taken it down to wrecks many times including night dives to "Thistelgorm". There are no scratches on the surface or the bracelet and the watch feels light and comfortable.

For sure, this diving watch is really clear to read under the surface - perhaps the best I have tried. What do you think?

In my opinion this GP is one of the most undervalued sporting and diving watches on the market. At least mine is bloody accurate!

Best, Kari

We don't often speak about the Sea Hawk. A pity, as it is a real tool watch.

And a good alternative to the eternal Rolex Subs! Thanks for posting yours. Best, Nicolas

From diver's perspective Sea Hawk II

has a couple of great features: The second hand is very readable and it's easy to see that the watch is working. And the power reserve indicator shows that the watch has power enough for the diving time. I really respect this watch as a diving watch. It's...

A real tool, I agree.

That is a very cool watch ...

I feel sorry that GP on the newest Sea Hawk choose to put only a small seconds on it. Another point, about all GP watches, is that their lume seems to be, by far, one of the best on the industry. Congratulations for your "finding". Cheers, Nilo

...offers a lot of utility. It is very legible, and the PR display is helpful for a tool watch of this type. My only major gripe (not surprisingly) is the addition of a date window. Cheers, Daos PS -- There must be tons of hidden treasures in your watch b...

...quite a few years ago. Managed to buy it at a very good price...and then sold it out of one of those "I have too many" crises. Have regretted it ever since. Actually, it was my son's favourite, which only makes me regret it even more. Perhaps, one day....

Still today

you can buy 2.5 Sea Hawks with a price of one Rolex. GP Sea Hawk represents really good value. Best, Kari

Tool vs Toy

Thanks for the 'hands on' perspective, Kari. So many sports watches out there that are more for show than performance, but great to hear the GP Sea Hawk lives up to it. And it has enough design flair with the asymmetrical crown and hands to look great on ...

I agree!

And if you go 40 meters below the surface, you will notice that you are there with a Diving Watch. There are too many "diving watches" around. Best, Kari
