Girard Perregaux is one of the world’s best known Swiss luxury watchmakers. With their slogan – the mechanics of time since 1791, they have crafted some pretty extraordinary timepieces from their La-Chaux-de-Fonds based workshops in Switzerland. Late last year, they announced the release of a new Girard Perregaux 1945 Vintage Large Date Moon Phases. This new addition to the 1945 Vintage collection is quite similar to some previous iterations, except for one glaring feature – the smokey grey transparent sapphire crystal dial.

The sapphire crystal dial of the Girard Perreguax 1945 Vintage is very attractive ensuring the complete transparency of the movement from the dial side. The dial features a large double date indicator at 12 o’clock. At the 6position is the moon phase aperture, with a continuous seconds hand sharing that space. The Dauphine hands and the polished hour markers stand out nicely, ensuring legibilty. To increase the readability, the hands and markers are toned with case matching colors in the two variants of the model.
