While it was five years ago Perrelet launched its turbine watches, a strong reminder of a jet engine for flying fans, as its dial view rotor turned as if revving for takeoff, it wasn’t until now that the Bienne/Biel watchmaker officially launched its first pilot watch.
In a case 48mm by 13.6mm, a rotating bezel is activated by the crown at 3 o’clock. The bezel moves both ways and one can calculate distance, speed and time. Strap options include black rubber and leather.
For elite travelers who are either relaxing in the passenger cabin or flying your jet from the left seat, the wrist activated top rotor will ensure anyone you are with knows that you like to go full engine.
