Girard-Perregaux Sea Hawk for over seven decades, what I have collected so far
Friends, Let’s have a closer look at the Sea Hawk family from GP. As the name gives it away, the “Sea Hawk” has some connection with water, but as the Sea Hawk as a model dates back all the way to the 1940s, you should not expect that those early Sea Hawk...
What a read. Thanks, CC.
My favorite is the 'real, post dark ages 80s' diver. Sorry, I lost track what pic in the order it was...
Yup, Sea Hawk 7100...first Sea Hawk Diver
it does look a bit like a Rolex...are you on to something?
Thanks for sharing CC
the 1940 (oh boy) & the 1960 with that stylish numerals - love to own ! Class a part !! Best, Mahesh.,

affordable, easy to find, often in great condition and good wrist presence.
CC strikes again :)
Amazing post and collection. First Sea Hawk is just my taste and you have one in superb condition. Superb post but one thing is missing in Deep Diver photo . Cheers D

Thx a lot for your feedback and the opportunity to share the early Sea Hawk for the USA market. I prepare a picture with all components because in the moment I do a service and so it's ideal to have a deep dive into. Everything in my understanding is orig...
I would refrain from the attempt of repainting the dial. It has aged in this way and it is much better to leave it like this
from my experience (and I have been there) repaint will always leave you dissatisfied even when done by a professional. Best, CC

Hi, I am brand new to this website. My introduction to the site was your wonderful five part essay on GP's from the 1990's, particularly the essay featuring the Sea Hawk and GMT Traveler. To be honest, I have been challenged figuring out how to navigate t...
Excellent Article
Have you seen a 1940's Sea Hawk with a small minutes hand, but no 24 hour track?
