Perrelet is back in our attention with another rotor-looking timepiece, the new Perrelet Turbine Diver, a watch that’s designed to explore seabeds and features an 11 blade upper rotor with rounded contours, resembling a submarine propeller.
The timepiece also sports a SuperLuminova coated surface, absorbing light during the day and unleashing it during periods of darkness, perfectly appointed for diving at great depths. An inner bezel ring measures the dive time, through a 20-minute duration indicator, realized with different volumes and colors.
The high fidelity crown at 10 o’clock controls the indicator, along with a locking system, while the main hour markers, the black-rimmed hour and minutes’ hands as well as the Arabic numerals all over are also coated in SuperLuminova, allowing for a better sight of them on the darker background, during the times when it is lit up by the effect of the moving turbine.
Some numbers regarding the watch have also been provided along with the aforementioned pieces of information, like the 47.5 mm diameter case and the 300 meter water resistance. The caseband bears a fluted appearance, seeming to be straddled in four places, while the winding crown is placed into the interior, at the 4 o’clock position, diametrically opposed to the crown that controls the bezel.
The screw-in caseback includes the sapphire crystal and provides impressive views of the P-331, the movement invigorating the timepiece. The “engine” was developed based on the new handmade Alternance 10 caliber that boasts a Côtes de Genéve motif. The timepiece will be launched in a variety of colorful dials, in monochrome – steel – or two-tone – steel or black DLC-coated steel.
