G'day,

Today I'd like to have a closer look on what i regard a great fun watch. It's bold, it's different, it's not small at all and now it comes in Rose Gold!

New for 2006, the Sea Hawk Pro "Flying Tourbillon" in Rose Gold is a hefty addition for GP's "Pour BMW ORACLE RACING" line. Like it's 2005 cousin in Titanium, it is a limited edition of 32 units only and sold out:

And it comes with a nice dial either:

The Rose Gold casework requires a special trick to enhance stability; after all, this mighty beastie is a genuine dive watch either and pressure resistanted up to a depth of 1.000m! In order to achieve, there's an inner case of Titanium, which holds the movement and dial:

As you see, it's not just a chunk of metal. In fact, the new "Flying Tourbillon" is a technical masterpiece at the same time!

As you've seen, there's a Pt variant as well; pictures of that hopefully follow!

All in all, it's a great fun watch and a new interpretation of the tourbillon theme in a different way. You won't see these in the wild often and on the wrist, it's likely to be a talking piece

Greetings from Germany,
