How an automatic watch works
Your wrist gives it energy. A spring saves it. A tiny balance sets the rhythm. Follow the journey inside an automatic watch, one pencil drawing at a time.
Girard-Perregaux · Laureato
Ref. 810051113111A
The Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38 Automatic Stainless Steel / Silver / Alligator takes a 24 mm strap: measure between the lugs and that is the only number you need. We list 18 straps in that width. With a 38 mm case and 100 m of water resistance, a strap of medium thickness keeps the balance. Automatic movement. Most straps here come with quick-release spring bars, so the swap takes a minute and no tool.
Width is a starting point. Check the case and end fittings before choosing.
