Girard-Perregaux Casquette Makrolon 1976 LED watch WORKING and RARE!

Description: This Girard-Perregaux Casquette wristwatch from 1976 features a unique asymmetrical design with a silver and Anthracite color scheme. The watch is powered by a quartz/digital movement and includes features such as hours, minutes, day/date, and LED display. The watch has a solid stainless steel caseback and a charcoal gray band made of Makrolon material. The indices are Arabic numerals, and the display is a 12-hour format with acrylic crystal. The watch measures 42x32mm and was manufactured in Switzerland in 1976. This classic style watch is perfect for men who appreciate the timeless design and function of this extraordinary Girard-Perregaux timepiece. The box is not original to this specific model watch, but is a very serviceable substitute. The Casquette was offered in three variations...18K gold-plated case and bracelet, all stainless steel, and the legendary Makrolon version (which is, by far, the rarest of the three, and generally considered a high-water mark in the design of 1970s digital watches). The most reliable production number I have seen is 2000-2500 (about the lifetime of an injection mold); only a small fraction of those survive today...far fewer continue to remain fully working. Still looks as futuristic as it did nearly half a century ago, which I would suggest is a true test of a genuinely brilliant design. The modern 2.0 version does not do proper justice to the wonderfully organic "look" of the original. This is an impeccably-preserved example, surely in the top few percent of the condition spectrum, that is certain to delight even the most discriminating collector. I hope the buyer will enjoy having this in their collection as much as I have over the last 15 years or so. I will genuinely miss it. Please view the pictures carefully; they are better conveyors of condition than any written description. A vintage gem from the world's finest collection of Time Computer watches.
