Girard Perregaux Deep Diver 9108 Turquoise Dial

Girard-Perregaux Deep Diver 9108 is a large vintage diver watch. With its case shape, size and dial design, this timepiece is a perfect representative of the creative 1970s.

The unique selling point of this Deep Diver version is, of course, the beautiful turquoise blue dial. The extra-large luminous hands and luminous hour markers not only look good, but also make for great readability.

The Super Compressor case comes from the famous designer Piquerez and features a cushion shape, mineral crystal and two crowns. The rotating bezel is located inside the case and is operated by the crown at 2 o'clock.

An interesting detail is that only the winding crown at 4 o'clock is signed with the letters GP and the other one is not. Also, the two crowns are not in the same level. No, this is not because the case was polished. All diver watches with this Super Compressor case from the 60s and 70s have this characteristic, which is an indication of the watch's originality.

Despite its size, the Deep Diver 9108 is very comfortable to wear and looks sporty on the wrist.
