Perrelet has recently dropped a new dive piece. Perfect timing for my current dive obsessions. The new model is the Seacraft and it’s offered up in three iterations; the 3 hands-date, the GMT and the Chronograph. All three are presented in a stainless steel case with contrasting polished and brushed surfaces. A 4mm thick sapphire crystal with anti-glare treatment on both sides, and a stamped, screw-down case back, and water-resistance to a whopping 777 meters round out the features on this aquatic wrister.
The main model is the chrono which has a screw-down crown and two push-pieces encircled with aluminium rings, which contribute to the smooth functioning of the mechanical movement. An automatic helium valve, a vital element when the watch is being used in a diving chamber, is located at 9 o’clock. The fluted bezel, a standard feature with Perrelet is clearly recognizable on the uni-directional, notched, rotating bezel. It also boasts a 60-minute scale and featuring a luminescent marker at 12 o’clock.
The blue colorway on the chrono is a really good look. Very nice entry from Perrelet!!!

Awesome wristy! I think Perrelet got the design just right. Classy, functional and distinctive. So nice. Breath of fresh air from everyone’s Omega and Rolex.
