Introducing the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Absolute Chronograph Aston Martin F1 Edition
After last week the spotlight of the horology world was focused on Formula 1 at the time of the GP United States, in Miami, with the launch of the official Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team team watch generated from the partnership with the IWC, now a week from the GP Spanish in Barcelona it’s time for the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team to present its watch in partnership with Girard-Perregaux.
The new Laureato Absolute Chronograph Aston Martin F1 Edition is the second watch that results from this partnership, whose case material is made of a composite of titanium powder and carbon elements extracted from two F1 competition cars used in the 2021 season. The same happens with the rubber strap that comes with the watch, which is made of FKM rubber and carbon elements, extracted from the same racing cars used in the manufacture of the watch case. Another novelty is the fact that Girard-Perregaux presents for the first time the Laureato Absolute with an open case back allowing us to see the chronograph in operation.
The new chronograph is presented on the outside in a 44mm by 15.15mm case, sapphire crystal, crown with guards at three o’clock flanked by two square pushers that control the chronograph. Inside, the Aston Martin Racing Green dial features standard cross-hatching, baton hour indexes and skeletonised hands all filled with luminescent material, a date window at 4 1/2 o’clock and three counters: a small seconds at 3, an hour counter at 6 and a 30 minute counter at 9 o’clock.
Inside, it is powered by the automatic movement GP03300-1058 which operates at 28,800 Vph and offers up to 46 hours of power reserve.
The watch is offered with a rubber and carbon strap in the same tone as the dial that comes with a titanium folding buckle with black PVD treatment.
It is a limited edition of 306 unnumbered pieces that can be purchased in the official boutiques and brand retailers for CHF 26,500.
