Girard Perregaux

Friends, One watch we not often discuss here is the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Dual Time. Hour, minute, second, Dual Time and date, but no date window. Here the dial is the director's "un-cut" version! The Dual Time is operated by the two pushers on the crown ...  

I had a lot of reservations on this one, but I think the black dial at least is growing on me and I like the implementation with the "chronograph" pushers. Any wristshot??? CC

Yes, I find the black/grey dial much more appealing than the white/light dial. Best Blomman ...  

while I think it is a good effort by GP, there are too many others that would easily be ahead of this one, so this will not be for me. CC

Always too many on the hunting list! Best Blomman

Hi I like the dark dial with the different tones. Also the date sub dial - think these always add something. Just a quick question is the dual time a 24 hour dial? How does the dual time hand move - in hour increments? Cheers JML

Thank you for your input, JML! The Dual Time moves constantly like the normal time but only in half speed! Best Blomman

Not having seen the light dial version I cannot comment on that one but the dark one looks nice. Vaguely resembles the Super Compressor Lemania with central seconds you just posted about (if one squints, a lot) And the idea with the two pushers for the 24... 

Due to the lack of date window! Best Blomman

The red dual time hand gives it some color, which is really cool. As for the date, I have my reservations on these pointer sub dial types as I have been finding them very difficult to read, so while it is a cool novelty, I\'m not sure as to the practicali... 

Personally I prefer date windows over pointer date. Maybe my eye sight is too poor for the pointer.... But with the few pointer date watches I have, I almost never check the date! Best Blomman

.. The red Dualtime hand is a nice color accent. Not quite sure, whether I would prefer the blue or the grey - pretty tied.. Cheers & Best, hs

Released last year in Pink Gold... Who knows - maybe we will see a White Gold version next year? Or even better, a steel version?! Best Blomman

Here: www.watchprosite.com I prefer the version pictured on your post. Thanks Blomman! Fx

Same here, I prefer the dark dial over the cream... Best Blomman
