Happy to chime in
and provide some additional info.
There have been two different Reference versions of the Traveller II within the Classic Elegance line.
Ref 4940, with a 38mm case is actually the older model
Ref 4935, with 40mm case appeared in the 2004 catalogue and replaced the 4940.
Besides the case size, almost no differences between both models. Both lines were available in a large number of dial versions and metals.
So here is my 4935 as seen a few times before. Larger case and applied Breguet numbers:
And here are 4 photos from the 2000 catalogue (Ref 4940) and the 2004 Catalogue (Ref 4935) which shows only a small number of the dials that were available:
My favourite versions besides the one I own:
4940 with salmon dial and 4935 with the black dial and "3/9/12" numbers (Dial 651).

GP Traveller II, reference 4940
Friends, I would like to share another watch I never saw in real before our recent weekend in Paris: the GP Traveller II with black dial in stainless steel. When I see the case of this watch I immediately think Girard-Perregaux. The short, rounded and cur...
That has a lot of appeal
Hi That looks rather good. Really like the combined GMT and alarm function as well as fact that its automatic. Think I'd stick to the black dial though - really like the red highlights on it. Cheers JML
Yes, the combo of GMT and Alarm is perfect ....
For travelling! :) One to add to your great Alarm theme, my friend? :) Best Blomman

That was nice & educational !.. Great excerpts of catalogs.. Thx kindly for sharing out of your own box + the docs.. :))
Shows the wealth of versatility & variety . - Sometimes, though I ask myself, if GP hasn\'t been overdoing it with too many models (?). Really enjoy your 4935 : absolutely love the applied Breguet numbers; And true - the 3,6,9 dial also,looks cool ! Thx f...
Same numerals as on the Minute Repeater!
Thank you for chiming in, CC! :) Thank you for the clarification on the 4940/4935! Yes, there has been many different dial versions. I would easily go for two or three of the different dials. The grey also looks very promising, need to find one to see in ...
Was a great pleasure, my friend !.. Until now, just my one & only GP.. But let's see what's in the boxes for this year.. ;))
Also kind thx for the update & very nice pics ( with Borat ) ! Currently I keep my eyes open for one of the other targets.. Best, hs
Yes, a great pleasure, my friend! :)
I must say that this watch of yours made me think.... I need to expand my GP alarm theme! :) Best Blomman
Thx for the lovely pics.. 1 Q maybe: is the GP-alarm theme "wide" enough ?
Although I\'m pretty sure, if there some, you will find them.. Happy hunting ! Best, hs
Well, the GP-alarm theme not as wide as....
From another brands we share serveral watches from... But wide enough to build a theme! :) Best, my friend Blomman
I find you are a bit severe with this one. Ok, acoustically speaking, I agree.
But the look of this one, I find appealing. A Watch I would love to add... One more. ;) Best, Nicolas
Yes, acoustically speaking...
But as I wrote - I would love to add at least one into my collection! :) Yes, the list gets longer and longer.... ;) Best, my friend Blomman
Some really cool features together in this watch
Time Zone, Alarm, Automatic & Date truly a traveler's watch and as you know Pink dial is reserved for me ;) Yours truly Damjan
Ah, Mr. Pink! :)
Yes, the pink dial would be perfect for you when you travel (to Stockholm)! ;) Best, my friend Blomman
Regrets, I've had a few ...
But one of the biggest is the fact that I passed one, just like this, full set, just because I was tired and I decide to go home. The asking price was good and ... I was dumb. Great watch. Thanks for show to us. Cheers, Nilo
Nilo, when I read your "war stories" it breaks my heart...
I should visit you! Wonder what customs would say if I carry 20 kg of "metal" in my hand lugage on the way home.... ;) Best Blomman
No customs problems if ...
You maintain the balance, by bringing to the poor people of the tropics (me, of course) some gifts: 1) A complete collection of GP Olimpic. 2) A dozen of JLC Snowdrop 3) An assortment of GP 3 bridges After that you can return with all acquired pieces. Fai...
Another Traveller II says hi!
Travellers are rather rare to come across (despite they are not probably not rare in the true sense). So I most happy to see a friends around here!. I bought mine a few years back, and IT IS my travel watch. It is both practical and it is neither too big ...
the pleasure is mine...
...sharing actually is a pleasure, even more so since we all know that there is a great community out there Stefan
How nice to see another one, black dial also: but this one has the typical Breguet fonts; one other little point here:
it shows a type of dark bezel ( does it ?); At least that\'s, what it looks like.. The brown leather strap with red stiches is a nice warm contrast. Thx for sharing.. Best, hs
no black bezel....
the impression of a dark bezel must be due to the reflection of the glass. It might be best seen on the first pics in clear conditions. Best Stefan
glad you like it....
Here is the photo, which makes it clear how the watch looks like. best Stefan ...
Wonderful to see yours, Stefan! :)
Happy you enjoy your watch - I need to find one! Best Blomman
yes, go ahead and find one....
...I wish you happy hunting! What's your favourite dial option you are looking for? Best Stefan
My favorite from photos is the ....
Pink dial - but I need to see it in real - if it is as good as it looks in photos.... :) Best Blomman
i have never seen a pink dial version in metal neither...
...they seem to be even more rare then the regular ones. I will keep my eyes open... best Stefan
