Whether you like it or not, “Retro is in” – although this promises a great deal of tried and tested classic design elements and what, many are still struggling to make this old-fashioned thing right. Girard-Perregaux Retro 1945 XXL Big Date and Moon Phase replica (yes, this is the full name) is a repetitive, usually not very interesting retro vintage or retro watch ocean fresh drop. In fact, if the brand just launched this year, it will still be a very interesting contender in high-end watches. Let’s see what makes the 1945 retro special – even if it is not without its small flaws.
As the name suggests, Girard-Perregaux originally conceived this work in the 1940s, and references 5418 and 5420 were the first to introduce this rectangular, and seemingly obvious, design. Fast forward seventy years, you get the Girard-Perregaux 1945 XXL Big Date and Moon phase replica is a bigger 36.10mm by 35.25mm wide and 11.74mm thick case, please keep in mind that this “XXL” model Of the terminal size is actually just about 50mm, although it is not big, but it is very consistent with our trend of modern times.
It is gratifying that, in this case, the beauty is not just deep color, in fact, no function. Carefully check the above image and you should see that Girard-Perregaux 1945 XXL large date and moon phase case exposed some beautiful curves. The back of the female housing follows the inclined profile of the housing and flows into the short angular projection. In addition to the curved appearance, the shape of the crystal – more like a slender, rectangular dome than any other – fused to the beveled edge of the border. The overall effect is a project that offers the right mix of angles, more male design elements and a smooth surface. However, it must be said that due to the strange dome shape of the crystal, Girard-Perregaux 1945 XXL large date and moon phase is very difficult to shoot – no matter what angle you hold, the light will hit the crystal from some direction and create a Bright reflection.
In addition to its shell shape, following the shape of the wrist – in a side note, I hope that ergonomic design elements are more common, not revolutionary these days – Girard Perregaux 1945 XXL big date and moon phase too Because of its strap to wear very comfortable. Specifically, it is not only a soft crocodile belt and easy to use folding buckle, making the obvious difference, but more is the strap design has been integrated into the case. In fact, the integration at the point where the strap meets the lug and the housing is so well done that it is the same as most of the time dedicated to steel bracelets and some more expensive rubber band designs.
