Response from Girard-Perregaux
All the Traveler IIs, both 38mm variants and the 40mm, house movements based on the A. Schild. According to GP's documentation, at some point the movement designation was changed from GP2291 to GP059G0, but they are the same movement. No Traveler IIs used a movement based on the GP3000 series movements.
Specs for the automatic movement housed in all Traveler IIs:
13 1/4 lignes (29.5mm)
7.6 mm in height
28,800 v/h
31 jewels
I found a picture in our archives of the GP2291 movement for you.
Good luck, and if you do end up with the watch we'd all love to see your photos of it.
Cheers,
Daos
Love the Traveller II but confused about the movement
I am in a quest for a GP Traveller II but I confess I am confused about the movement(s) - Might someone please be able to help? A friend is interested to sell his Traveller II and it is just the style I am looking for (black face, numbers 3, 9, and 12 onl...
Hi, and welcome.
I'll have to do some research on your questions, and get back to you. Cheers, Daos
Thanks and thank you for moderating
Thanks for being a moderator for this forum and thank you for your quick response! I have admired the GP Traveller II for some years and finally have a chance at the one I admire most. The movement question is driving me a bit mad though, as I find confli...

I've never heard of the traveller movement buiild on the base GP3300 movement before but then again I might be wrong. I think GP had modified the A.S. movement by adding GMT and auto winding. I've got the Panerai PAM 98 which used the same movement and I ...

The base caliber of this watch is an A. Schild.
There seems to be a lot of misinformation out on the 'net about this watch. I believe the base is AS 5001, and there is no record at GP of Dubois-Depraz having modified the movement as has been noted in previous posts. Cheers, Daos
Finally obtained the long-awaited GP Traveller II
GP Traveller II Finally scored the Traveller that started this post so posting the (poor) picture here. This was so hard to find that I am now wondering if there is any way to find out how many Traveller II watches with this face were actually made. Would...
Not rare but uncommon, at least here ...
In Brazil. One Traveller II, just like yours, was offered to me some weeks back. I was distracted by another acquisition and didn't pay the attention that this one deserves. Some day one will pop up as they always do (this is a statement of a fellow colle...
don't worry about the rarity ( or not ), just enjoy the watch you just got.
It is a very cool one! Best, Nicolas
Congrats on your watch!
We cannot get exact production numbers, but I doubt you'll see too many of these watches around. Nice catch! Congrats! Daos
Great info - thanks!
Appreciate the help. Will definitely post a picture if I acquire this beauty!
