Perrelet Turbine Evo Stainless Steel Pilot's Watch
Starting from 4.380 €The Perrelet Turbine Evo stainless steel is a sporty-chic automatic watch whose signature is a visible rotor on the dial side, inherited from the Turbine collection launched by the manufacture in 2009. Offered in six references sharing the same 44.5mm steel case, it stands out with a black dial topped by a twelve-blade turbine that reveals a red or electric blue backdrop as it spins. Beating beneath the dial is the in-house calibre P-331-MH, COSC-certified, a movement that marked the collection's tenth anniversary. With its sapphire crystal, 50-metre water resistance and steel, rubber or bi-material straps, this Turbine Evo is aimed at enthusiasts of demonstrative mechanics and contemporary design.
Perrelet Turbine Evo steel pilot's watch
Perrelet claims the heritage of Abraham-Louis Perrelet and now presents itself as a manufacture developing its own automatic calibres, within a family of movements ranging from the P-181 to the P-481. This culture of the rotor, inseparable from the house's name, finds its most spectacular expression in the Turbine collection, unveiled in 2009. The principle is simple and instantly recognisable: a twelve-blade turbine in anodised aluminium sits above the dial, driven by the movements of the wrist, and reveals a coloured backdrop as it spins. On the A4062 reference, that backdrop is red or electric blue depending on the version chosen.
In 2019, to mark the collection's tenth anniversary, Perrelet introduced the Turbine EVO. The brand speaks of an entirely renewed design and introduces a new in-house movement, the calibre P-331-MH. Two points are highlighted on the product sheets: for the first time in ten years, all the movements in the collection are COSC-certified, and the sporty-chic case receives a high-quality, hypoallergenic steel bracelet.
The P-331-MH is also Chronofiable-certified and produced by Soprod, a company within the same group. It has the distinctive feature of being assembled through the caseback, which simplifies after-sales servicing. The A4062 case has also served as the basis for a reinterpretation signed by the Geneva workshop Label Noir, the first collaboration between the two houses, which retains the COSC-certified P-331-MH calibre and its 42-hour power reserve.

The Perrelet Turbine Evo steel watch
The Perrelet Turbine Evo stainless steel is built around a round stainless steel case measuring 44.5mm, a generous size explained as much by the presence of the turbine as by the desire to project a distinctly sporty character. At 13.82mm thick, the watch retains a dense silhouette that sits firmly on the wrist, favouring volume over discretion. The design mixes polished and satin-finished surfaces, with worked flanks that echo the mechanical vocabulary from which the collection draws its language. The main spectacle plays out on the dial side. Over a black dial sits a twelve-blade turbine in anodised aluminium, driven by the movements of the wrist.
As soon as the hand moves, the blades spin and reveal a coloured sub-dial, red or electric blue depending on the reference chosen. The effect is immediate, almost hypnotic, and constitutes the house's true signature. Legibility nonetheless remains: three hands, applied hour markers and luminescent material for reading in low light. Protection is provided by a sapphire crystal, an essential material at this level to withstand everyday scratches. The 50-metre water resistance clearly defines the intended use: splashes, rain, hand-washing, but neither diving nor extended swimming. The Turbine Evo is an urban sports watch, designed for everyday wear rather than wet environments.
A certified in-house calibre across six references
Beneath the animated dial, the Turbine Evo houses the in-house calibre P-331-MH, a mechanical self-winding movement developed internally by Perrelet and COSC-certified. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, or 4Hz, counts 25 jewels and offers a 42-hour power reserve. Its ball-bearing-mounted oscillating weight and Incabloc shock protection system reflect a reliability-focused approach, as does its architecture assembled through the caseback, which eases servicing. With an overall diameter of 26.20mm and a thickness of 3.60mm, it fits the case without imposing excessive compromise.
This same mechanical base equips the six references in the steel range, which differ only in the colour of the sub-dial and in the strap. The A4062/1 and A4062/2 receive a 24.95mm steel bracelet with a concealed clasp, the dressiest version in the series. The A4062/A and A4062/B adopt a bi-material strap combining rubber and stitched black leather. The A4062/AA and A4062/BB rely on a black rubber strap measuring 26.4mm with a deployant buckle, the sportiest and most accessible version. Within each pair, the first reference features a red sub-dial and the second a blue one. Prices range from €4,380 to €4,800 depending on the strap chosen. No version introduces any additional complication: the display remains identical across every reference.
Perrelet Turbine Evo stainless steel pilot's watch: the turbine in motion
This listing covers the six steel references of the Turbine Evo, excluding the limited Erotic series A4062/S2 and A4062/S3, which share the same base but follow their own distribution. Pricing varies by strap, from €4,380 for the rubber versions to €4,800 for the steel versions. Perrelet does not publicly detail the contents of the box supplied with the watch. The international warranty runs for three years, extended to five years after registering the product on the My Perrelet customer portal. The Turbine Evo is aimed at an enthusiast of visible mechanics rather than a diver or a minimalist.
Movement
The Turbine Evo is powered by the in-house calibre P-331-MH, a mechanical self-winding movement developed internally by Perrelet and produced by Soprod. COSC-certified, it is also credited with a Chronofiable certification. It oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, carries 25 jewels and delivers a 42-hour power reserve. Its oscillating weight rests on a ball bearing and an Incabloc system protects the balance. A rare detail, it is assembled through the caseback, which simplifies after-sales servicing.
Diameter and materials
The round case is made of stainless steel and measures 44.5mm in diameter for a thickness of 13.82mm, generous proportions in keeping with the collection's demonstrative spirit. The sapphire crystal protects a black dial topped by a twelve-blade turbine in anodised aluminium. Depending on the reference, the backdrop revealed by the spinning blades is red on the A4062/1, /A and /AA, or electric blue on the A4062/2, /B and /BB. The hands and hour markers receive a luminescent treatment.
Water resistance
The 50m / 5 ATM water resistance places the Turbine Evo among urban sports watches rather than water-oriented ones. It handles rain, splashes and hand-washing with ease, but extended swimming and diving fall outside its intended use. The sapphire crystal and the screwed transparent caseback contribute to the overall water resistance while allowing the movement to be admired. The luminescent material applied to the hands and hour markers ensures legibility in low light.
Accessories
The strap is the main variable across the range. The A4062/1 and /2 receive a 24.95mm stainless steel bracelet with a concealed clasp, hypoallergenic and integrated into the case design. The A4062/A and /B adopt a bi-material strap combining rubber and stitched black leather. The A4062/AA and /BB rely on a 26.4mm black rubber strap with a deployant buckle. Perrelet does not publicly disclose the contents of the box supplied with each watch.
Warranty
Perrelet covers its watches with a three-year international warranty, extended to five years after registering the product on the My Perrelet customer portal. This coverage applies to manufacturing defects and excludes normal wear as well as damage resulting from improper use. It is recommended to keep the invoice and documents supplied with the watch, which will be required for any warranty claim through Perrelet's authorised network.
