Hands-on with the Perrelet Weekend 3-Hand Green Watches
Wednesday - 05 July 2023
The new Weekend 3 Hand watches from Perrelet, with vivid green dials are here to change the way the collection is viewed and respected. Each of the three new beautiful 39mm models is fully deserving of the attention they capture when worn on the wrist
If you’re a watch lover and flamboyant watches are your guilty secret, you may be intrigued to learn more about the latest additions to Perrelet’s Weekend collection – a line that has always been renowned for its elegant, slightly retro designs. The brand cleverly sidesteps predictability with its slew of new vivid green wristwatches.
If you’re familiar with Perrelet, you’ll be more than aware of its Turbine watches, but in 2021, the brand released the LAB watch collection, boasting intricately crafted dials and multifaceted cases. They proved to be equally as popular. Very different in style compared to the Turbine and the LAB watches, however, is Perrelet’s Weekend models that comprise GMT models and simple three-handed designs, not to mention open heart models that expose parts of the manufacturer’s in-house developed movement through the dial side.
Known for their uncluttered displays, Perrelet watches from the Weekend collection were first launched in 2019 and have been offered in silver, blue and black dials. These classic shades are sensible and practical as well as timeless, making them perfect for combining with smart casual attire. When you browse the new green Perrelet watches belonging to the Weekend collection, you’ll note that the GMT models set themselves apart with a vibrant red GMT hand and a recessed 24-hour track that can be used for keeping on track of an additional time zone when travelling.
The weekend 3 Hands Open Heart watches have also been released as part of the green party, featuring the same dial colour, but with a three-handed design and a circular window to the heart at 6 o’clock. As mentioned, this feature lets you admire the performance of the movement through both the dial side of the watch and from the back of the case. To do so whilst retaining a sense of simplicity across the dial, the watch foregoes the date window. Whilst the GMT version of the green Weekend watch by Perrelet is available in a gold-coated version and a stainless steel version (the latter of which is also fitted on a choice of black leather strap or stainless steel bracelet), the Open Heart model is also offered in the same options. Joining these models is the simple Weekend 3 Hand watch, imbued with the same rich green nuances and exuding a classic, timeless style.
The new Perrelet Weekend 3 Hand watch in green
The new green 3 Hand watches from the Weekend collection by Perrelet measure a 39mm diameter, making them a comfortable size for most wrists. Helping them to be less obtrusive on the wrist is a slim height of 9.56mm – perfect for a dress watch. The faux rose gold option looks particularly dressy and has been crafted from stainless steel. The watch is adorned with a stunning rose gold PVD coating. Seldom seen in this price bracket is the advantage of an in-house developed movement, which sits inside the case of this 3 Hand Weekend watch in green. The P321 is an automatic movement that performs at a rate of 28 800 vibrations per hour and delivers a power reserve of 42 hours.
The verdant green hue of these new Weekend watches demonstrates Perrelet’s more fun and daring approach to watchmaking. Perrelet is clearly honing into a trend that has been growing for the past few years. Green dials seem to be more than just a novelty, and classic watches like the 3 Hand model from Perrelet constitute a companion that is sure to get noticed on the wrist. Conservative characters like those with a silver and classic black dial option have been set aside for now, enabling the green models to enjoy the attention they thoroughly deserve. When you consider that the design of the new green watch is executed to the exact same specifications as the other models from the same collection, it becomes apparent just what a skill Perrelet has in ensuring its watches remain fashionable and unique.
The green sunray dial of the 3 Hand watch is accompanied by a set of three straight hands, including the seconds hand, as well as a date window at 3 o’clock, dressed against a white background for enhanced legibility. The simplified and pared-back design of the new green Weekend watch’s dial is also enhanced further via crisp dashes around the minute track and slender stick hour markers.
The new Perrelet Weekend 3 Hand watches in stainless steel with black leather strap, stainless steel with a matching metal bracelet and a rose gold PVD-coated option with a black leather band, all deliver an impressive quality-to-price ratio and bring a notable dose of vitality and freshness to any summer wardrobe this season.
