PANERAI SUBMERSIBLE

A WIDE CHOICE OF MATERIALS – SPORTS OR PRECIOUS, CLASSIC OR AVANT-GARDE – AND THE P.9010 MANUFACTURE AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT, WITH A POWER RESERVE OF THREE DAYS, ARE USED IN A SERIES OF CREATIONS WHICH ENHANCE THE GREAT TRADITION OF PANERAI SUBMERSIBLE WATCHES. They are solid and strong, with unrivalled visibility even at great depths and a uniquely distinctive appearance. The new Panerai Submersible watches draw inspiration from the history of a brand which has its roots in the world of the sea but which is also always looking forward to the future, presenting excellent technical solutions and surprising innovations. The innovations are apparent in the variety of materials used in producing the cases: traditional high specification materials, such as titanium and AISI 316L stainless steel; precious materials such as red gold: fascinating, evocative ones such as bronze, or innovative ones such as BMG-TechTM, a metallic glass remarkable for its resistance to external shocks and corrosion. Another innovation concerns the movement: all the new Panerai Luminor 1950 Submersible watches use the P.9010 automatic calibre, with a power reserve of three days. Entirely developed and produced at the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel, the movement has the date, the classic small seconds counter at 9 o’clock, the mechanism for stopping the balance wheel and the device for changing the time by moving the hour hand backwards or forwards in jumps of one hour without interfering with the running of the watch. The design of the new Panerai Submersible reveals the great attention paid to perfecting every little detail, preserving intact all the characteristics which have made this model a classic of high quality sports watchmaking. The Luminor 1950 case has a unidirectional rotating bezel with a graduated scale for calculating the time of immersion, connected through a special system designed and patented by Officine Panerai to ensure the extreme accuracy of each click. The distinctive Panerai bridge device protects the winding crown and exercises a light pressure on it, helping to ensure the high level of water- resistance – a standard feature of these Panerai models – to a depth of 300 metres (30 bar), and 100 metres for the red gold model. Lastly, the dials are clear, perfectly legible in the dark as well as in the light, and immediately recognisable as Panerai.
LUMINOR SUBMERSIBLE 1950 3 DAYS AUTOMATIC BRONZO – 47mm THE DECISIVE CHARACTER OF BRONZE MEETS THE BLUE OF THE SEA IN THE LUMINOR SUBMERSIBLE 1950, BRINGING ABOUT A COMPLETELY NEW COMBINATION OF GREAT APPEAL. The new Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo renews Panerai’s tradition of creating iconic underwater watches with unique and distinctive characteristics, with excellent technical features and a strong historical inspiration. A few years after the original launch of the watch, when this fascinating ancient material, always associated with the sea, was first brought onto the international stage of high-quality watchmaking, Panerai presents a new watch with a bronze case, combined for the first time with a blue dial. The bronze used to make the case (47 mm in diameter) and the classic bridge device protecting the winding crown is an alloy of copper and pure tin, which is highly resistant to the corrosive action of sea water and atmospheric agents. As well as being structurally very strong, this material preserves its warm original tones, while acquiring an agreeably worn look from the characteristic patina which forms over time. This patina is the result of the reaction of bronze with external agents and it has no effect on the intrinsic properties of the material, but it is a visual sign of the ageing process, making every example unique and different from the rest. Also made of bronze is the rotating bezel with a graduated scale for calculating the time of immersion, connected to the case by a special system designed and patented by Officine Panerai to ensure the maximum precision of the clicks. In the centre of the back is a sapphire glass porthole through which the P.9010 automatic calibre, with a power reserve of three days can be admired. Completely developed and produced in the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel, the movement is only 6 mm thick and it has very useful functions including the date (at 3 o’clock), the small seconds counter (at 9 o’clock), the device for stopping the balance wheel so as to synchronise the watch with a reference time signal, and the mechanism for rapidly adjusting the hour hand, which can be moved forwards or backwards in one-hour jumps without interfering with the running of the watch. The new Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo (PAM00671) is water-resistant to 30 bar (300 metres) and it is completed by a brown leather strap with sewing of a nautical character and a titanium buckle. It is a Special Edition limited to 1,000 units.
