Along with offering a clear presentation of all time zones on its dial, the Girard-Perregaux WW.TC chronograph also supplies the date, small second, a chronograph function and a day/night indicator, a combination that results in an effortlessly elegant and incredibly practical watch with a sporty style and undeniable sophistication.
