R&D 01 – USA 87
Date, chronograph with central chronograph minute hand and 2x5' indication, 24h indication, automatic winding
As the name of the watch itself testifies "R&D" speaks volumes about Girard-Perregaux' s dedication to Research and Development and attention to detail. The watch design is unique for a chronograph, the start/stop buttons being placed to the left hand of the watch dial as opposed to the right a choice carefully studied in cooperation with sportsmen competing in various disciplines sailing, obviously but also car racing.

This allows optimum comfort of operation of the chronograph during a race. In line with Girard-Perregaux' s modern interpretation of traditional Swiss watch-making, the movement (developed and manufactured by GP) is a self-winding automatic movement.
