New Gear: Perrelet Turbine XL Watch

Wednesday, November 10, 2010

Passion, know-how, and enthusiasm are the key-words echoing around the corridors at Perrelet. As heir to an invention that today vibrates in every automatic watch, Perrelet holds the movement at the heart of its priorities. This calibre (Perrelet P-181) has automatic winding and enables one to observe the two rotors, one on the dial side and the other on the movement side. On the base of the latter, Perrelet created its emblematic model – the Turbine.

As the Brand’s very own true speciality, the Turbine continues on the crest of its wave with the arrival of the Turbine XL. A completely unrestricted progression, but remaining nevertheless totally coherent.

Bold, intuitive and with its own distinctive style, the new Turbine XL is free to fully assume its role in its generous 50mm diameter case. Four grooves rise up the side of the middle case as if cupping the (Diamond Light Coating) DCLtreated steel bezel. In order to ensure the optimum maintenance of the natural rubber bracelet, a central support has been added between the horns, perfecting the model’s aesthetic finish. Three executions are proposed: in DLC steel; more sporty in titanium/DCL steel; or the original combination of the limited 77-piece series, in pink gold/DLC steel.
