Weekend Ice Blue A1300 Watch

The Watch

Perrelet is a Swiss brand with a truly remarkable history. Founded in 1777 by Abraham-Louis Perrelet - the master watchmaker credited with inventing the self-winding movement - the brand has long been celebrated for its intricate complications and fascinating details. Today, the manufacture enriches its "Weekend" collection with classic, timeless models, including the Weekend Ice Blue A1300 Watch. This piece combines understated design with a retro-modern sensibility, making it the perfect companion for any outfit or occasion. It features a round case with a diameter of 39 mm and a slender thickness of just 9.55 mm. Perfectly balanced, it sits beautifully on the wrist with its elongated lugs and beveled edges. Crafted from stainless steel for lasting durability, it showcases a refined polished-brushed finish that highlights its silver tone. The domed sapphire crystal over the dial is anti-reflective treated, offering optimal legibility while providing excellent protection against scratches and damage. The charming crown at 3 o'clock carries on the watch's classic elegance - beautifully engraved with the Perrelet "P" in relief, its knurled profile makes adjustment of the hours, minutes, and date easy and precise. The caseback is screw-secured and features a transparent mineral glass exhibition window that offers a delightful view of the movement's exceptional finishing - including the perlage bridges and the engraved rotor with vertical grooves and the Perrelet logo at center. This caseback ensures a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

Nature-inspired, the dial of this watch embraces a vibrant, relaxing, and refreshing hue that exudes a contemporary feel. The ice blue color evokes the depths of glaciers and the clouds of winter. It features a domed profile illuminated by a sunray finish enriched with a satin effect - a dynamic combination that contrasts beautifully with the applied baton indices, doubled at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock. In silver tone, they harmonize with the sword-shaped hands and the slim seconds hand, whose tip reaches the black minute track along the edge. The dial is thoughtfully completed by a date window at 3 o'clock, where a black numeral appears on a white background. Finally, the brand signs its name below 12 o'clock and notes the movement above 6 o'clock, while a discreet "Swiss Made" inscription appears just below.

The Movement

This model is powered by an in-house automatic movement developed by SOPROD - the Perrelet P-321 caliber, which beats at a frequency of 28,800 (4 Hz) alternations per hour. It features 25 jewels and delivers a power reserve of 42 hours. This movement provides an analog 3-hand display plus a reliable date function.

The Strap

This elegant watch comes with two straps. Choose the one that suits you best via the drop-down menu.

The first strap is crafted in calfskin leather and features a beautiful midnight blue color that complements the silver tone of the case. Its alligator pattern finish adds a classic, refined look. It is completed by a silver-toned pin buckle personalized with the Perrelet logo, offering a comfortable and secure fit.

The second strap is crafted in stainless steel, giving the watch a chic yet sporty look. It features 7 rows of links inspired by a rice grain link construction. The links alternate between brushed and polished finishes for a beautiful aesthetic result. It fastens to the wrist with a deployment clasp.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. It's designed to be stunning and turn heads - but that elegance doesn't compromise its ability to face the elements. You can keep it on in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends setting it gently on the edge of the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over the long run. As for swimming and scuba diving, we strongly advise against wearing this watch in the water to avoid damage and costly repairs.
