Latest Perrelet Turbine Features Colours Of The Rainbow

Perrelet, the manufacture renowned for its original creations with animated dials, is introducing a new watch in the Turbine collection.

The iconic Turbine model has been renewed and adopts an innovative carbon fibre case with improved water-resistance to 10 atm/100m instead of the traditional 5 atm. ‘Turbine Rainbow’ features a high-tech case with a stainless steel bezel and case back with matte black PVD coating and a central body made of polycarbonate and carbon fibre.

The case, measuring 44 mm in diameter and 13.82 in thickness, has a sporty look with its flat, smooth bezel and fluted case band. The sub-dial, a key component in the Turbine collection, is decorated with a new and exclusive motif. As the 12-blade black anodised aluminium propeller rotates, the beauty of the sub-dial is revealed.

With each movement of the wrist, the Turbine unveils details of the sub-dial, illustrating a different leitmotif every time. A wide range of motifs has appeared over the years, from animalier artwork and symbols of Japanese culture to camouflage patterns. The hallmark double rotor of the Turbine was patented in 2009, converting it into the iconic Perrelet model.

For the new ‘Turbine Rainbow’, the brand’s creative team chose the colourful ‘rainbow’ theme (above). Countless small dots, like patches of colour in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet are spread out against a ‘black canvas’ creating an engaging, abstract, multi-coloured pattern.

The rainbow colours start with red at 12 o’clock, followed by orange at 2 o’clock and progress to yellow, green, blue, and finally violet. All of them glow in the dark with matching-coloured Super-LumiNova – a sophisticated touch that underlines Perrelet’s extreme attention to detail in the manufacture of its watches. The hour and minute hands are filled with white Super-LumiNova, while the central seconds hand is shiny red.

The ‘Turbine Rainbow’ is powered by calibre P-331-MH, an in-house automatic movement, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and supplying 42 hours of power reserve. Having successfully undergone Chronofiable and COSC certification tests, the calibre guarantees high precision and reliability. The stainless steel case back, with black PDV coating, features a sapphire crystal porthole that allows a view of the circular graining on the main plate and the open-worked oscillating weight embellished with the Perrelet logo.

The watch comes with a water-resistant black calfskin strap with a rubber lining and is delivered in a special box accompanied by an additional rubber strap and a fastening tool.
