Girard-Perregaux Traveller ww.tc - old case

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : June 22nd, 2014-00:24
Friends, Some of you asked about the Traveller, so I thought I should share this oldie that I had the chance to see - Reference 49850. White Gold case, 41mm in diameter and 11.5 mm thick. Functions; World Time Indication, Date, Small Seconds, Power Rese...  

!here I think we can agree. The old case is nicer, but without the crown at 9 o clock...

It would be the best combination. Nice pics, my friend. Nicolas

That would be a perfect combination! :)

you picked a very classic combination with the white gold and inner grey dial. It combines a very versatile look, that can fit with any attire. I also much prefer the old case over the new Traveller, in contrast I do like the second crown as it adds some... 

More symmetrical, yes...

The balance and symmetry is perfect on the old case. For me, why I don't prefer the crown at 9 is because of comfort. I wear my watches quite low on the wrist, which makes the crown at 9 to go into my wrist when I move my hand... Thank you for your input,... 

yes

comfort is an issue. I haven't tried the 41mm if that's different from the 43mm. I also believe the crown has become slimmer between the old and the newer , so 49800 versus 49805 on the Chronograph. Due to size I would likely not opt for gold and stay wit... 

I not a big fan of TI watches...

Personally I prefer SS or in some cases WG or PG. If I ever get the chance, I would like to do a side-by-side shot of the old vs new case. 2 mm don't sound as much, but when it comes to watches it makes a BIG difference! Best Blomman

I was searching a ww.tc ...

In SS for years. Got this one: Old styled bezel (by the existence of Caracas on it). Better pics when it returns from a short stop on my watchmaker, since it has more than eight years without activity. Cheers, Nilo ...  

Congrats, Nilo! :)

In LA last week, Moderator AndrewD and I saw one of the ladies-oriented with the names of major shopping venues (malls, neighborhoods, etc) (We didn't buy it) Cazalea ...

Venezuela changed their clocks in 2007 to GMT-4.5: GP, after that replaced Caracas by Puerto Rico to define GMT-4. Cheers, Nilo

I missed that. Thanks for the reminder

Despite the Caracas change, when it comes to "cities that have been moved back and forth between time zones", I think Singapore wins the award: “Standard Time” in Use in Singapore Period in use Time offset from GMT Reference Meridian Name of Time (unoffic...
