Perrelet, a storied Swiss watchmaking brand established in 1777, has expanded its Weekend collection with the introduction of two new dial colors—Green Mint and Salmon. These vibrant new options join the collection’s refined 39mm case, continuing the brand’s tradition of blending modern and retro design elements. Collectors can expect the same attention to detail, with model references A1300, A1302, and A1304 highlighting these fresh additions.
New Dial Colors: Green Mint and Salmon
The Green Mint dial offers a bright and energetic aesthetic, while the Salmon dial brings a warm, subtle elegance to the collection. Both dials are treated with a sunray finish that enhances their visual depth and iridescence, making these timepieces ideal for a variety of occasions—from casual wear to formal events.
Reliable Movements and Craftsmanship
Perrelet has equipped the Green Mint and Salmon dial models with high-performance automatic movements, each crafted by SOPROD, a sister company. The collection includes three models:
- 3-Hands with Date (Ref. A1300): Powered by the Perrelet calibre P-321, this model operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 42-hour power reserve. Available as Ref. A1300/E for the Green Mint dial and A1300/G for the Salmon dial with a leather strap, the model is also available with a bracelet (Refs. A1300/D and A1300/F).
- Open Heart (Ref. A1302): Featuring an aperture at 6 o’clock, the Open Heart version showcases the balance wheel, powered by the Perrelet P-391 calibre. Reference A1302/C represents the Green Mint model with a leather strap, while A1302/E represents the Salmon variant.
- GMT (Ref. A1304): Ideal for frequent travelers, the GMT version features a second time zone indicator. It operates on the Perrelet P-401 calibre and is available in Green Mint (Ref. A1304/C) and Salmon (Ref. A1304/E) with leather straps.
All movements provide a 42-hour power reserve and feature visible, finely decorated components viewable through a transparent case back.

Each model in the Weekend Green Mint & Salmon collection is housed in a polished-brushed stainless steel case, measuring 39mm in diameter and 9.56mm in thickness. The cases are water-resistant up to 5 ATM and feature anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The models are paired with either a black calf leather strap featuring an alligator motif or an integrated stainless steel bracelet for a sportier look.
