Swiss watchmaker Perrelet recently presented the new Lab Peripheral Dual Time Big Date, a model that combines a useful second-time zone function with a day-night indicator and a big date.

The watch comes in a 42 mm x 42 mm stainless steel cushion-shaped case alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces and decorated with embossed rectangles on the caseband. Thickness is 13.51 mm.

Framed by a polished octagonal bezel with satin-brushed profile, the dial is offered in three colour variations: blue (ref. A1101/4), black (ref. A1101/3) or silver (ref. A1101/1).

The multi-layer construction gives to the dial a particular depth that is further enhanced by different decorations and finishes, including an elegant pattern with vertical lines in relief within a metallic circular-brushed rim, surrounded by a matt sandblasted ring.

At 12 o’clock the date is displayed in two separate windows. The silver counter at 6 o’clock displays the time in a second time zone. The day/night indication is revealed through a small round aperture between 10 and 11 o’clock.

The hour and minute hands of both time zones are treated with white Super-LumiNova, just like the cut-out hour markers that are applied to the central disc of the dial and suspended towards the minutes flange.

The Lab Peripheral Dual Time Big Date brings the movement's oscillating weight on the periphery of the dial side making it possible to observe its motion while reading the time.

This solution was made possible by the new in-house manufacture self-winding Caliber P-421 beating at 28,800 vibrations per hours and offering 42 hours of power reserve.

The sapphire crystal porthole on the case-back, sealed with 6 screws, reveals its balance-wheel in action and the rhodium plated bridges with Côtes de Genève finishing and engravings in gold 3N.

Water-resistant to a pressure of up to 5 ATM (approximately 50 metres / 165 feet), the new model is completed by a black or blue calf leather strap and a stainless-steel folding clasp embellished with the Perrelet logo.
