Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 XXL Large Date And Moon Phases exposes some beautifully curved lines. The concave case back follows the sloping profile of the case and flows into the short, angular lugs. Adding to the curvaceous looks, the shape of the crystal – which is more of an elongated, rectangular dome than anything else – merges with the sloping edges of the bezel. The overall effect is that of an item that offers just the right mix of angular, more masculine design elements and smooth surfaces.Girard-Perregaux Vintage Watch With Exquisite Dial

It has to be said, though, that because of the peculiar domed shape of the crystal, the Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 XXL Large Date And Moon Phases is extremely difficult to photograph – no matter what angle you hold it at, light will hit the crystal from some direction and create a bright reflection on it.Girard-Perregaux Vintage Watch With Exquisite Dial

The visual centerpiece of the Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 XXL Large Date And Moon Phases watch has to be its fantastic dial, crafted from a single piece of sapphire crystal and colored to a translucent, often barely noticeable, other times very defined blue. This design modification of omitting a solid dial and replacing it with a transparent one, makes a world of a difference in styling and overall aesthetics. Girard-Perregaux Vintage Watch With Exquisite Dial

The blue adds a lot of personality to the watch . However, should you find this vibrant sky blue and blue strap combination a tad too much, there is another steel version with a grey-colored sapphire dial , along with the more traditional, solid dial options as well, of course. It may not be obvious from the images, but in daily wear, the subtle blue transparence of the dial works beautifully with the “vintage vibe,” not damaging it but rather just getting up to pace with our visually more vibrant times.
