GP Chrono Hawk ref 49970
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

The Chrono Hawk is a difficult story
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 dia...
Great shots, 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
I have a very good feeling for the Sea Hawk, while it is just the contrary for the Chrono.
A matter of taste, certainly. Best, Nicolas
Strange, since the asymmetric ...
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
No experience but a guess
Can't really tell from experience, but would share the feeling that the sea hawk wears smaller. I still like its irregular dial layout and the wide lume filled hands Besides liking what makes me feel the difference? - could it be that pushers and crown gu...
The reason, I believe...
Having played with both pieces, I saw a small difference in the lug design, the Sea Hawk lugs seems slightly shorter and bend more towards the wrist. In addition, the leather/rubber strap of the Chrono is more stiff tand thicker han the rubber only strap ...
I think you are on to something here, Kolosstt!
The dial of the Chrono Hawk is bigger (and the bezel thinner). This may be one of the big visual things that makes the Chrono look bigger. But, that do not explain the feel... I tried to wear the Chrono with closed eye's and then the Sea Hawk, same way......
