Girard-Perregaux has brought back an iconic 1970s watch with the Casquette 2.0 in a limited edition of 820 pieces. The watch combines titanium with subtle yellow-gold accents for an understated yet sophisticated look. Priced at $4,960, the Casquette 2.0 prioritizes exclusivity by initially offering this model to current GP owners before opening availability to select boutiques. This updated edition could be the last chance for collectors, as Girard-Perregaux has stated no further releases are planned once it sells out.
The watch’s striking retro design pays homage to the original’s distinctive LED display, housed in a Grade 5 titanium case with an 18K yellow gold logo and pushers. Measuring 33.6mm wide, 42.4mm long, and 14.6mm thick at its highest point, the case is fitted with a recessed sapphire crystal for added scratch resistance. Inside, the GP3980-1474 module includes a red digital display for time, date, month, and year functions, plus modern additions like a chronograph and an innovative “secret date” feature to commemorate a personal milestone daily.
The titanium bracelet, lined with rubber for added comfort, is reminiscent of classic designs but with premium materials that add durability and flexibility. Lightweight and secure, the Casquette 2.0’s vintage-style clasp is a highlight, offering secure closure with micro-adjustments. If you’re a fan of retro-futuristic style or a longtime admirer of Girard-Perregaux’s innovation in quartz technology, this limited release is a compelling, wearable piece of horological history.
