[New for 2022] Girard-Perregaux unveils new collaboration model with Aston Martin: the Laureato Absolute Chronograph Aston Martin F1 Edition

Girard-Perregaux has announced the Laureato Absolute Chronograph Aston Martin F1 Edition, a collaboration model with Aston Martin. The case is made of carbon fiber extracted from an actual F1 racing car, creating a special model limited to 306 pieces worldwide.

The third collaboration, skillfully incorporating the world of Aston Martin

　Girard-Perregaux has announced the launch of the Laureato Absolute Chronograph Aston Martin F1 Edition, a new model created in partnership with the British luxury high-performance car manufacturer Aston Martin and the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula 1™ Team (AMF1).

　This will be the third collaboration model following the Three Flying Bridges Tourbillon Aston Martin Edition and the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition, which were released in partnership with Aston Martin in 2021.

　Like previous collaboration models, this latest model is a sporty model that incorporates the world view of Aston Martin. The dial is Aston Martin Racing Green with a cross-hatched finish, which is also used on the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition, and the chronograph seconds hand and 30-minute counter hand are lime-colored to improve readability when using the chronograph.

　The push button at 2 o'clock, which is used to start and stop the watch, also has a lime-colored marking, and the push button at 4 o'clock, which is used to reset the watch, has a green marking, showing the efforts made to eliminate human error as much as possible.

　The marbled case is made from a composite material of titanium and carbon. This combination of materials is effective in reducing weight, but it's not just functional. The carbon fiber used in this model was taken from two F1 racing cars used in the 2021 season. This carbon fiber is also used for the rubber alloy strap. Being able to wear a material that has actually raced on the circuit is a dream come true for fans.

　This model is the first Laureato Absolute Chronograph to feature a see-through case back, allowing visitors to view the caliber GP03300-1058. Packed with functionality and elegance, this limited edition of 306 pieces will be available, representing the total distance that drivers Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel will be aiming to drive in the 2022 British Grand Prix.
