DescriptionThe Girard-Perregaux 1966 Orion (Ref. 49555-11-631-BB6D) epitomizes refined watchmaking. Its case, forged from steel with a sleek diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, measures a versatile 40mm in diameter and a mere 9.4mm in thickness, striking a balance between presence and wearability. A smoky sapphire crystal case-back offers a captivating view of the intricate GP03300 self-winding mechanical movement within.

Comprising 218 meticulously crafted components and 27 jewels, it boasts a minimum power reserve of 46 hours. The movement's functions extend beyond mere timekeeping, incorporating central seconds, a date display, and, of course, hours and minutes. The watch face, a mesmerizing expanse of black aventurine, evokes the starry night sky, with the indices and hands elegantly complementing the celestial aesthetic. Completing the ensemble is a supple alligator leather strap, secured with a DLC steel pin buckle, ensuring both comfort and sophistication.
