Friends, some few of my dear Purist-friends
know, that I have been looking for a Gyromatic,
Ref 6250 A ,with a special little feature - a Crosshair dial.
This, as Crosshair dials are a little theme in my
stables..

Well, it has taken close to three years until
a good friend ( you know who you are) had 
sourced one and very kindly dropped me 
a line, causing my happy excitement.
But not only that: he helped, as there was some wrong
dysfunctional movement in it, while case & 
dial were superb.
This friend had the kindness to have an original
movement (31.09) from his Gyromatic stock to be
transplanted into, what then became mine.

I am very grateful to him & the happy
restauration of this Gyromatic to a great status 
& being now a humble "member of the GP Crosshair
club", together with Nico, Blomman, CC 
& maybe some others, I yet don't know of..

Well, guess after these a bit lengthy lines,
without further ado, here some initial
shots of this new arrival in my modest
GP family, which I dearly cherish.




Unobtrusive, pure with casual elegance




A quite modest but fine watch from the begin of 60ies




A little cherry on the cake: the Vintage GP buckle




What a nice & clean dial, but with Crosshair refinement




This Gyromatic breathes class, IMHO






This is even a pair of them ( Credit pic: CC; Credits watches: left by hs, right by CC himself) 

Hope you liked this little Crosshair excursion..

Cheers & Best to all ,

About the Girard-Perregaux Gyromatic Ref. 6250

The Girard-Perregaux Gyromatic reference 6250 represents a specific variant within the broader Gyromatic line, distinguished by its automatic winding mechanism and often featuring design elements characteristic of the mid-20th century. This particular reference is sometimes sought after by collectors for specific dial configurations, such as the crosshair dial mentioned in collector circles, which adds a distinct visual element to its otherwise understated aesthetic. The Gyromatic series was a significant offering for Girard-Perregaux, showcasing their advancements in self-winding technology during its production era.

This reference typically features a case crafted from materials common for the period, often stainless steel or gold, with dimensions that reflect the prevailing tastes for dress watches. It houses an automatic movement, a hallmark of the Gyromatic line, known for its efficiency and reliability. The crystal would have been a material such as acrylic, common for watches of this vintage, providing a clear view of the dial. The movement's power reserve would have been competitive for its time, ensuring practical daily wear.

For collectors, the reference 6250 appeals to those interested in vintage Girard-Perregaux and the evolution of automatic movements. The presence of specific dial types, like the crosshair, can significantly influence its desirability and market interest. These variations allow collectors to pursue specific aesthetic preferences within a well-regarded historical model range, making certain examples more notable than others for their unique characteristics.
