At around $7,000 the Perrelet Turbine is not an entry-level sport Omega Seamaster 300 M Quartz 2223.80.00 Mens Watch by any means, but it is an appropriate price for a really cool watch from a boutique brand. Of course, we love that no one has the Turbine, while EVERYONE has a Submariner, Chronomat, or Panerai.The Turbine will be available in stores this coming October, so certainly check it out if you are looking for something special. We know a lot of watch guys online have been dying to see some "real" (read as "not professionally taken") photos so we took a rather large gallery for you.Click here for our gallery of the prototype Perrelet Turbine, a break-out model if we've ever seen one.One thing we've mentioned before is how much we appreciate Perrelet's approach to social media. Perrelet's North American Managing Director is an active Twitter-user, so be sure to let him know what you think of the Turbine if you have a chance.
While they had never heard of Perrelet, they did say they would hold off on their next Panerai purchase until they could see a Turbine in a shop back home.The next day, we tweeted out that we had the Omega Seamaster 300 M Quartz 2223.80.00 Mens Watch downtown and would buy a coffee for any followers that came by to give me their opinion. We had a few guys show up (thanks!), all under the age of 30 and none of whom own what we'd describe as a "high-end Swiss watch". Every single one of them said they would consider the Turbine when looking for their first "real" watch. We asked what else they were looking for with their first purchase and the results, while not surprising, speak boundries about what Perrelet has on its hands. In addition to the Turbine, this small group of guys will be looking at the new Breitling Chronomat, the Rolex Submariner, and a Panerai Luminor; not exactly bad company for Perrelet.We loved wearing the Turbine. The rotating face is such a cool feature. Looking through a sapphire crystal back to see a Omega Seamaster 300 M Quartz 2223.80.00 Mens Watch working away is one of our favorite things to do, the Turbine allows you to see this withought having to turn it over. We found ourselves simply staring at the Turbine every time we rotated our wrist.
