THE NEW PERRELET "TURBINE CAMO" - Limited to 100 Pieces

THE NEW PERRELET "TURBINE CAMO"

A limited edition of 100 pieces 

Perrelet, the prestigious Swiss watchmaking house, continues to amaze with its countless interpretations of its iconic Turbine timepiece. First patented in 2009, the Turbine has become the signature timepiece of the brand.  Perrelet, always tuned into the latest trends and tastes of watchmaking enthusiasts on the hunt for exclusive pieces, has endowed this latest model with a fresh, modern and dynamic style. The unique design and strong personality of the new “TURBINE CAMO” fuses the playful nature of the Turbine, that spins with the slightest movement of the wrist, with military colors.

 

Crafted entirely in Perrelet’s ateliers, the new “Turbine Camo” has a 44 mm round steel case with black PVD coating and is water-resistant up to 50 meters. As its 10 aluminum blades with black PDV treatment complete their rotations, a sub-dial decorated with military camouflage in light green, olive green, beige and brown tones materializes from below the dial.  As the ten blades of the turbine complete their rotations, a sub-dial decorated with military camouflage in light green, olive green, beige and brown tones materializes from below the dial. The black flange of the dial is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and bears the hour indications with a mix of white Arabic numerals and indices. The minutes scale also features white Arabic numerals at 5-minute intervals. 

The numerals (13-24) on the minutes scale mean that night-time hour readings are also possible endowing the watch with extra functionality. To ensure optimal legibility, the Arabic numerals, indices and hour and minute hands are covered in Super-LumiNova while the red central seconds hand adds a bright note of color. 

The hour, minute and second function is animated by the in-house self-winding caliber Perrelet P-331 offering 42-hour power reserve. The exquisite finishes on the bridges and oscillating mass are visible through the transparent case back.  The case back is sealed with six screws with a transparent porthole to admire the refined finishes on the bridges and its open-worked oscillating weight personalized with the logo of the House. 

Camo refers to Camouflage, a specific colorization or pattern that blends in with the surroundings for concealment. Used by many animals as a natural defense mechanism to avoid being spotted by predators, it was adopted by hunters in the early 1800s to blend in with the surrounding environment. Subsequently, “military camouflage” was developed to allow soldiers to hide from enemy forces thanks to the mimetic properties of camouflage applied to uniforms, vehicles and equipment.

To complete the package, the timepiece comes with a rubber strap decorated with the same camouflage pattern as the dial. It is attached to the wrist with a black PVD-coated steel pin buckle and embellished with the brand logo.
