Girard-Perregaux produced the Casquette from 1976 to 1978. 8,200 copies of the novel quartz watch were created in this timespan.
The distinctive feature of this timepiece is the lateral display which makes it a typical "drivers’ watch". Over time the watch has become a highly coveted collector’s item and a re-issue version is available today.
