Watch Description
This ground-breaking watch unites two worlds, namely, micro-mechanics and the extreme performance of Formula One™️. The Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One™️ Team is based in Silverstone, England, close to the iconic racetrack. With this in mind, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Absolute Chronograph Aston Martin F1 Edition is limited to 306 pieces, the total distance drivers Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel will aim to cover on race day (5.891km x 52 laps) at the 2022 British Grand Prix.
The new Laureato Absolute Chronograph Aston Martin F1 Edition features a cutting-edge 44mm case. Its composition blends titanium powder and carbon elements taken from two F1 race cars used during the 2021 season, representing a first in the watch industry. Using a high-tech manufacturing process, the individual components are brought together and mixed with a tinted resin. The resultant material proffers superior ductility to that of steel. Each watch will have its own visual identity and will look uniquely different from any other timepiece on the market. The dial on the watch is presented in sunray ‘Aston Martin Racing Green’ and is adorned with cross-hatching, a motif that can be traced back to the Aston Martin ‘AM’ badge of 1921. This new watch features open-worked hands throughout to imbue the design with a note of sportiness. A splash of lime is used to identify the chronograph hands to echo the design of the Aston Martin F1 car. The counterweight on the central chronograph hand emulates the side strakes widely used on numerous Aston Martin road cars.
Girard-Perregaux has fitted this emblematic case with its self-winding chronograph movement, driving two counter and small seconds as well as a date display. As well as guaranteeing impeccably accurate timekeeping, it is distinguished by its comfortable power reserve and the particularly smooth activation of its pushers. Its horological qualities are complemented by exemplary finishing including “Côtes de Genève”, chamfering and straight graining, all stemming from the multiple skills cultivated within the Manufacture. For the first time on a Laureato Absolute Chronograph, the rear of the watch is fitted with a pane of sapphire crystal. Now, the wearer can view the automatic Manufacture movement, the Calibre GP03300-1058.

### Overall Watch Rating: 8.4/10.0
- **Functions Metric (9.0/10.0)**
- The watch boasts impressive water resistance up to 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming and other water activities. It also features a chronograph function, enhancing its utility for timing events, and a tachymeter scale for speed measurement.
- **Movement Metric (8.8/10.0)**
- Powered by the GP03300-1058 automatic movement, this watch offers reliable performance and a chronograph complication. The movement is well-regarded for its precision and robustness, though it lacks the high-end finishing of more exclusive calibers.
- **Dials & Design Metric (8.7/10.0)**
- The dial design is both bold and sophisticated, featuring a textured pattern that reflects light beautifully. The green accents and Aston Martin branding add a unique flair, while the overall craftsmanship is of high quality.
- **Material Metric (8.5/10.0)**
- The use of carbon-titanium for the case provides a perfect balance of strength and lightness, while the rubber strap ensures comfort and durability. The materials are well-chosen for a sport-oriented watch, though not as rare as precious metals.

- The chronograph and date functions are well-integrated, offering practical utility without overwhelming the design. The watch's complications are standard for its category but executed with precision.
- **Versatility Metric (8.2/10.0)**
- While primarily a sport watch, its elegant design allows it to transition into casual settings. However, it may not be suitable for formal occasions, limiting its versatility slightly.
- **History & Innovation Metric (8.0/10.0)**
- The collaboration with Aston Martin F1 highlights Girard Perregaux's innovative spirit and willingness to explore new partnerships. However, the model itself does not introduce groundbreaking innovations.
- **Rarity Metric (7.8/10.0)**
- As a limited edition, this watch is relatively rare, appealing to collectors. However, its production numbers are not as restricted as some ultra-exclusive models.
