a guess

G'day,

GP´s WW.TC underwent some changes, such as adding the "Financial" models (FTC) or integrating a Fly-Back chronograph lately.
As far as i recall, reference 49805 indicates the FTC range; as of 2006, there are some subtle, but thorough changes. These mostly account for a new look, improved wearing comfort and enhanced useability:

  1. The slightly modified bezel is wider than earlier models, which makes for a more elegant and still substantial appearance. 
  2. The thinner case profile caters a strong demand for less bulky but still substantial watches. The new case geometry comforts watch enthusiasts with smaller wrist in a more pleasing way. 
  3. The slightly reduced weight leads to improved wearing comfort and balance. 
  4. Longer lugs futher improve the wearing comfort. 
  5. Redesigned pushers in a triangular shape improves haptics and useability. 
  6. New straps, widened towards the clasp, make for a more substantial feel, as well as a more comfortable fit on the wrist. 
  7. A new mechanism of the world time indication ensures an even more smooth and more exact setting of the travel time.

Over all, i´d suggest to ask your dealer for specific differences between the specific models of your choice!

Cheers,
Peter
