Turbine Skull A1093/S1 Watch

The Watch

Perrelet is a Swiss watchmaking house founded in 1777 by the visionary Abraham-Louis Perrelet. A true pioneer of the self-winding movement, the brand has built its reputation on exceptional craftsmanship, bold innovation, and an unmistakable aesthetic - seamlessly bridging tradition and modernity through technically refined timepieces built to last. Today, Perrelet proudly presents the Turbine Skull A1093/S1 watch - a bold expression of creativity designed to adorn the wrists of anticonformist watch enthusiasts. The "Skull" motif runs deep in watchmaking history, rooted in the Memento Mori tradition carried by aristocrats and clergy in 16th- and 17th-century Germany. Channeling the spirit of the pirate flag, rock and punk culture, and Gothic and Halloween aesthetics, it stands as a symbol of transgression, freedom, and courage. This model carries a positive message and sits squarely within the contemporary skull-watch trend. Released as a limited edition of just 99 pieces, it invites you to live fully in the present - a true embodiment of the Carpe Diem spirit. The case is crafted in brushed and polished stainless steel with a black PVD coating for a sharp, refined look. It takes a round shape with a 44 mm diameter and a thickness of 12.65 mm. Elongated lugs and wide grooves frame the Arabic numerals on the dial. A anti-reflective sapphire crystal sits above the dial, protecting it from impact while ensuring crystal-clear legibility. At 3 o'clock, a black crown bearing the brand's logo provides easy control of the central functions. The screw-down case back delivers a water resistance of 5 ATM. Numbered, it features an engraved sapphire crystal revealing the exquisite finishing details and the movement's inner workings.

The Dial

This dial strikes a bold, original look that gives the watch an imposing, captivating character. As with all models in this iconic collection, the motif appears on the lower dial - finished with guilloché engraving and featuring a three-dimensional skull in polished silver. The skull is concealed beneath 12 blades in black anodized aluminum that spin with every wrist movement, gradually revealing the expressive lower dial beneath. Five tungsten counterweights keep the blades in motion, while a black bezel surrounds them. The bezel displays the minute track at 15-minute intervals, with baton hour markers and raised Arabic numerals. Three hands sweep above, delivering precise, fluid timekeeping. The two main hands - a large and a short gray hand - are coated with white Super-LumiNova, matching the hour markers for stunning legibility in the dark. At 6 o'clock, the Swiss Made label is displayed; just below 12 o'clock, the brand signs its work with its iconic P logo and name.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats an in-house automatic movement - the P-331-MH caliber, engineered for vibration resistance and multi-function precision. Certified Chronofiable® and COSC, it beats at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and features rhodium-plated bridges with circular graining. It also incorporates a skeletonized rotor, a rhodium-plated plate with snailing finish, and 25 jewels to minimize friction. This Swiss movement delivers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.

The Bracelet

This stunning bracelet brings refined style to any occasion. Crafted in calfskin leather - prized for its superior quality, soft texture, and lasting durability - it features a rubber lining and an alligator-embossed pattern with tone-on-tone stitching for a comfortable, wrist-hugging fit. The rich black finish pairs effortlessly with any outfit. A black PVD-treated stainless steel deployant clasp bearing the Perrelet logo makes for easy, secure fastening.

An additional rubber strap is included along with a swap tool, making it easy to change up your look. Lightweight and durable, it's designed for all-day comfort in any condition - perfect for an active lifestyle. Its versatile black tone pairs with any color, and its sporty vibe adds a relaxed edge to any outfit. The deployant clasp lets you dial in the perfect fit.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters - or 5 ATM in standard watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle everyday splashes without breaking a sweat. You can wear it in the shower on occasion, but to preserve the quality and precision of the movement, our watch specialists strongly advise keeping it away from prolonged water exposure: no bath, pool, or ocean immersion. In short, skip the swimming and diving, and avoid any extended contact with water.
