This is a very attractive colour scheme.
The only drawback I see with the entire Hawk line, both Chrono Hawk & Sea Hawk, is that black plastic layer the bezel sits into, it doesn't scream longevity to me, similarly the rubber coated crown. I would still happily wear both but it's a shame it isn't DLC coated metal. The steel bracelet versions are very well done.

Girard-Perregaux Novelty 2015: Sea Hawk Beige Review and Live Shots
Friends, The novelties from Girard-Perregaux for this year are not yet over! As one of the first to give you the news – even before the official press release: Girard-Perregaux Sea Hawk Beige, reference 49960! GP gave me the green light to post this watch...
I don't know, my friend, I don't know. Not sure about that one.
I have to see it in the real, to have a definitive feeling. With such a patina, I would maybe have preferred a smooth dial. I really have to see it in the flesh. So, the Blue remains my favorite, for the time being. Best, Nicolas
Yes and no......
To complete the "Vintage feeling" Gp should have opted for a smooth dial... But to keep the modern technical look - the honey cake dial do the trick! :) Best, my friend Blomman
I'm super-excited about this one !!!
Love the grey bezel and the beige lume combo, really a killer, the best of all Sea Hawks right now for me. I would also like a rubber strap with it but the tan is also superb. PuristsPro rocks, we now go ahead of official releases ;) CC
Indeed, the bezel lume combo is a killer! :)
The alligator strap is water resistant. Same as used on the Traveller. I must say that I like the alligator a lot on the Sea Hawk, makes it a bit "softer" and more elegant. Of course PuristSPro rocks! ;) Best, my friend Blomman
very nice....
But waiting for a titanium case or a case made in more advanced light weight materials S
You always have the ceramic all black version!
Hi Salman, You always have the ceramic case, but only in all black... Best Blomman ...
Beautiful and Strong...
Design, the watch has a lot of personality but the ease of titanium, the light weight, the toughness of the metal and the color makes it very compelling. The Seahawk has a long and proud history of using titanium well before many other brands, they need t...
Yes, well...
Let's wait and see what will come from GP next year... Hopfully they read us here! :) Best Blomman
Girard-Perregaux Sea Hawk colours
blomman My gut reaction for favourite is the Blue version but now I'm liking the Beige and tan strap combination because its Different from the usual. Dare I say that it is Beyond the Pale? Of course, very few people could pull off wearing the following c...
Ah, yes the Mermaid is another tempting offer....
I really like the green minute track and details on this one! :) Best Blomman
Interesting, almost "harmonic" layout.. +1 with Nico on my reluctance about the type of honey-comb dial- to me just only a maybe.. ;))
Thus, one might have to see that one in person. & on wrist, although I guess to predict the outcome, already now... What I sort of like, is the color concept of beige vs a bit faux Patina+ patina + bezel and the very nice strap in croc. - Other than that,...
Unfortunate, my friend......
I think we can agree this one is not for you, doesn't matter in which color..... :( But no sorrows for that, there are so many other models from GP I can tempt you with! ;) Best Blomman
Indeed! The Girard-Perregaux collection is now like ....
A candy store.... Goodies for every taste! ;) Best Blomman
Looks like a solid reference
Should be appreciated by Girard-Perregaux fans. The strong patina evokes a nice vintage feel while still feeling modern. Thanks for the great review. Bill
Indeed solid!
You get the feeling this one would survive the A-bomb! Thank you, Bill. Best Blomman

Not plastic, rubber!
Thank you for your input, Ian. I would not worry about the rubber on the bezel, is is special made to last! In that case I think the crown is (not easy but) easier to break the rubber on... But easier to replace as well. Best Blomman
I see, thanks for the clarification...
Will this reference be limited release or a full production model? Regards Ian
No limitation, AFAIK....
On the other hand the total production number will probably be less than some other brand's "Limited" editions.... I don't think they will make more than maybe 500? This is a wild guess from my side, I have no production number on this one. But a Limited ...
