Piaget has launched a new Polo Date watch with a green dial reminiscent of the lush greens of midsummer. Thanks to the great success of the limited edition steel green dial, which was first introduced in 2019, this year, the pink gold case and green dial are grafted onto the high-end sports watch fans. The global launch date is September 1, but as it was introduced first in the Korean market, it can now be found in major domestic boutiques.
The 42mm diameter pink gold case with a harmonious matte finish is polished and finished in the same way as the previous steel version. Piaget Polo’s unique ‘Shape-in-shape’ design code, which is a mixture of round and cushion shapes, still remains. The diameter of the case is 42mm and the thickness is 9.4mm, and the size is also the same as the previous steel version. While following the trend formula of the green color that has hit the watch industry, the green dial of the Piaget Polo offers a different feeling from those of other companies. Inspired by the original 1979 polo replica watches, the horizontal Godroon guilloché pattern and subtly shimmering metallic green dial appear dark and bright depending on the viewing angle and illumination, and reveal a variety of colors. Here, the gold-tone appliqué-type baton index and Dauphin hands in harmony with the case, and the openwork second hand with the brand initial (P) ensure readability. Each index and hand is coated with white color Super-LumiNova, so it is not difficult to check the time even at night.
The movement, like its predecessors, is equipped with the Manufacture Automatic Caliber 1110P. Consisting of 180 parts and 25 jewels, the caliber 1110P vibrates 28,800 per hour (4 Hz) and has a power reserve of around 50 hours. It has a relatively thin 4mm thickness for a full-rotor type automatic movement, so the case thickness is also 9.4mm slim. This, of course, has a positive effect on the fit. Through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback, the concentric Côte de Genève pattern characteristic of the Piaget Manufacture movement, the main plate with a fine perlage finish, the bridges with a shallow angled finish, and a heat-treated blue contrast with the pink jewel color. You can see the screw, the Piaget crest and the Manufacture Piaget English engraving, and the rotor all finished in slate gray. The case back is secured with 6 gold screws and is guaranteed to be practically water-resistant to 100m, providing peace of mind for various leisure-sports activities, including swimming. The dark green alligator strap, meanwhile, blends naturally with the color of the dial.
The new Piaget Polo Date Green Dial (Ref. G0A47010) is released as a regular model rather than a limited edition. Unlike the steel versions of the previous work, which were presented as a limited edition, there is no limit to the quantity, so you can continue to see them in the future, heralding the birth of another constant seller of the Piaget Polo collection. As emphasized at the outset, it is scheduled to be launched globally on September 1st, but as it was specially pre-released for watch lovers in Korea, if you are interested, please check the real thing in the store. By the way, you can see the model at the end of this month through the Time Forum YouTube review, so please wait a little bit!
