Weekend GMT Steel Watch A1304/5

The Watch

Perrelet - the Swiss watchmaker who invented the self-winding mechanism - continues to redefine excellence with its unisex "Weekend" collection, where refined minimalism meets real-world functionality for the internationally active (second time zone, date window). The A1304/5 features a round stainless steel case in its natural grey tone with a very slim fixed bezel. Its 39 mm diameter suits both men's and women's wrists. The dial is shielded by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, renowned for its exceptional shock resistance. The medium-sized grooved crown at 3 o'clock provides a comfortable grip when setting the three time hands, the date window, and the GMT hand (second time zone). And like a well-kept secret, the automatic movement is only visible through the transparent caseback!

The Dial

With its urban, business-inspired aesthetic, this domed black dial features a lacquered sunray finish that creates subtle plays of light. The design unfolds in two concentric circles: a relatively thin inner circle displays the hours in silver Arabic numerals, setting a clear boundary before the minute track and the long silver baton hour markers positioned toward the outer edge of the dial. The date window sits at 3 o'clock, and the GMT function is indicated by a red and silver arrow-shaped hand. The three silver hour, minute, and second hands are elegantly slim and elongated. The dial also carries the Perrelet signature and notes the Swiss automatic movement type.

The Movement

Committed to excellence, Perrelet equips every watch with an in-house automatic self-winding movement. The A1304/5 runs on caliber P-401, displaying hours, minutes, seconds, the date, and a second time zone of your choice. It offers a 42-hour power reserve, houses 25 jewels, and beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The Strap

In keeping with the urban, business-oriented spirit, this strap is crafted from ultra-thin, high-quality leather in black with an alligator-pattern finish. Tonal stitching runs along its full length, ensuring lasting shape retention. The inner lining is a neutral beige, and the strap fastens with a silver pin buckle. Avoid water contact as much as possible, as it may accelerate wear!

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, equivalent to 50 meters, this watch is a solid entry into the world of water resistance. While not designed for bathing, lap swimming, or scuba diving, you can safely wear it in the shower. That said, our team of experts recommends keeping this timepiece dry to protect its movement for years to come.
