Different faces, same beating heart...
Friends,
Let’s take a breath from BaselWorld and all the novelties…
You remember I told you that inside the 1968 Olimpico is a movement based on an Excelsior Park caliber?
Not long ago I had the chance to take a side by side shot.
The resemblance is there for sure, but the characters are very different!
I find the Olimpico much more appealing, the Pulsation/Tachymeter scale adding more refined look.
While the Excelsior Park has a more “tool” character with its smaller sub-dials and minute track almost touching the inside of the case…
Inside is the same movement, Excelsior Park P40 / GP 07-3.

Isn't the case the same, too?
Yes, here I find the GP more appealing. The dial makes a big difference. The only difference, it seems. But more appealing. Best, Nicolas
Similar, but not the same
Will post a more detailed comparision on these. Best Blomman
Both
Both are lovely in their own way. What's surprising how closely similar they are: case, shape of hands etc. I think the Olimpico has slightly the edge with a bit more vintage charme. CC

The GP! Love the blue/red scale. :) Best Blomman
Thanks for sharing
the Excelsior Park for me, please, EP is one of these rare chronograph manufacturers, not an etablisseur. Rarer and not as celebrated as of the latter category. Call it reverse snobbery... :-) An EP movement in an EP watch. I also prefer the definition of...
Both has its charm for sure! :)
best solution for me would be to get both of course...! ;) Best Blomman
