blomman Mr Blue showcases the robust Girard-Perregaux Sea Hawk II Ref. 49950, a formidable tool watch designed for extreme conditions. His post offers a concise overview of its key features, including its impressive water resistance and functional complications, accompanied by striking photographs.
Friends,
This Friday it is time to go back to the old Sea Hawk II and have a quick look!
Reference 49950: strong stainless steel case, helium vent, turning bezel.
Water resistant down to 1000 meters, sub-second, power reserve indicator and date.
A cool tool watch!
Maybe not on for this week’s WristScan theme “Festive watches” but one for some summer action for sure!
Please come join us in the WristScan, maybe show a more elegant Girard-Perregaux as the GP 1966?

Goes farther, in the coolness, though. Best, Nicolas
but then I was never able to try it on the wrist. I suspect the lugs are a bit shorter than ont he Sea Hawk John Harrison so possibly a better fit, but I'm only guessing. Who says a Sea Hawl cannot be a dressy, festive watch? As it happens I'm wearing a Sea Hawk today, vintage Ref 8167 with manual wind caliber 30.09. Cheers, CC
Version, says Hi. Old picture. Currently with my watchmaker for a full SPA treatment. Deadly keeper. Cheers, Nilo
Consider this one as my next modern Sea Hawk.... Since I can't make up my mind about the current - which version to go for.... This one may be a good option for me while thinking! ;) Best Blomman
Unless you go the Blomman way, and you take them all... ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas
But think the Sea Hawk II will never be considered as a dress watch! ;) Best Blomman
