Girard-Perregaux has just released a special limited edition Doctor’s Watch which will be available in only 20 specimens in Dubail store at place Vendôme in Paris. This newcomer is a highly limited version of its 1966 Chronograph that is made in the style of the doctor’s watches of the early twentieth century.
Girard-Perregaux 1966 Chronograph Doctor’s White Gold Watch
Girard-Perregaux 1966 Chronograph Doctor’s Watch takes the basic 1966 Chronograph and adds a pulsometer scale which after only thirty pulsations shows the heart rate on its dial. At the thirtieth pulsation, the chronograph is stopped and the hand shows the heart rate through direct reading.

Inspired from the Past, Created for the Future
This new Doctor’s watch takes us back to the 1940′s with retro fonts, a bold orange circle, and a pulsometer scale which has been adapted from the original 1949 Doctor’s Watch.
Although it seems like there is no difference between these two, if you look closer, you will see that the bright orange seconds register is closer to the center of the dial and sits further from the case edge. Also, along the outer rim is a pulsometer scale which is nicely integrated into this chronograph watch. Girard-Perregaux has chosen a traditional chrono layout for this model, with a 30-minute counter located at the 3 o’clock position and a small seconds sub-dial situated at the 9 o’clock position.
