Friends,
I think many of us got captured by the Vintage 1945 with Sapphire dial!
We already had a detailed look on the Steel version, now I thought we should have a closer look on the Pink Gold version.
The Pink gold adds some more color to the watch. But what I find most striking is the contrast!
From being a monochrome, technical watch to become a warm, still technical but much more artistic watch.
The gold enhances the hands the applied indexes, but even more it enhances the Moon Phases!
Stainless Steel version:
All this makes the Art Deco design come out much more on the Pink Gold version than on the Steel version, in my opinion.
Even if the movement parts are the same on the dial side in the same metals, the contrast between the gold and the smoky sapphire dial makes the movement details come out even more.
The large date window have the same frame as on the SS version, but below the 12 in gold you notice it much more.
Same goes for the Moon Phases, the Gold Moon and gold seconds hand are much more visible here. Another splash of color is the sky between the Moons, which is dark blue on the PG version.
The case is the by now well-known Vintage 1945 XXL case. The curves and the stepped bezel are easier to see here. Same goes for the lugs. These tapered lugs are just awesome!
Same as the front goes for the back. The color makes the case shape come out much more.
Inside is the GP03300 automatic movement. Beating at 4 Hz, with a power reserve of minimum 46 hours.
Stainless Steel version:
The Pink Gold version has the GP03300-0062, while the Stainless Steel version has the GPGP03300-0105.
I suspect the only difference is the Pink Gold rotor on the later.
This is a big piece of gold. It doesn’t go by unnoticed!
On the wrist it sparks! It got energy!
The watch has character, good looks, great technic – it got an edge compared with most watches you see!
I would not get away with wearing such a big gold watch in my line of work as an everyday watch…
But yes, I would LOVE to!
Hm, this watch has been “eating my brain” since I first saw it in the metal….
Which version do I prefer….? I think the only true answer would be both!
And you? Which one would you choose now when we had a closer look on both versions?
Best
Blomman
