Panerai Radiomir Tourbillon GMT P.2005

If the tourbillon invented by Abraham Louis Breguet in the end of the 18th century was an innovative product born for pocket watches, then the P.2005 movement that was launched by Panerai was the first revolutionary product born for wrist watches. The tourbillon structure of P.2005 movement got patent in Switzerland in 2005 and got American patent in 2006. The reason why it was approved wasn't the existed difference between it and the tourbillon of other brands, but was its original design intention - compltely for wrist watches, there were few people knew this thing: the object of designing P.2005 was to solve the position difference when the watch was being worn on wrist, its innovative mind was consistent with Abraham Louis Breguet's idea in developing tourbillon, they all wanted to make the watch work more precisely, only the watches in Mr. Breguet era were placed in pocket, and the watch in Panerai era were worn on wrist.

P.2005 tourbillon doesn't operate like traditional tourbillon, whose escapement, escapement wheel and balance wheel rotate together, but P.2005 doesn't work in this way, the relative position of its balance wheel, escapement and escapement wheel won't be changed, what will be changed over time is the relative position between the whole group of escapement and timing structure as well as the movement, so we call P.2005 vertical tourbillon structure, later some manufacturers launched similar products, but most were dual-axis tourbillon, maybe they had an increased technical appreciation value, but relatively had lower safety.

Panerai chose a practical design, if you have observed the most regular status of the watch, you will understand the original design intention of P.2005, the most common position of watch was naturally pendulous or placed falt on the deck, gravity is at right angles with the axis of the balance wheel in most cases, to balance out the gravity's impact on the movement, making the balance wheel is a good entry point. Certainly, appreciating its design concept is one thing, but you must know the tourbillon won't improve the accuracy of the watch to a large extent, just like a 8kt diamond, you can't take it to feed yourself, but we all know the value of the diamond.

Panerai Radiomir Tourbillon GMT PAM 316 is equipped with this movement, all elements of this watch maintain the high standards of Panerai, the watch is built with 950 platinum in case and folding buckle, reflecting specific Panerai style, the dial is amazingly simple, you can't see the tourbillon through the glass face, but there is an active blue dot indicator to indicate the tourbillon's position. Besides, it also has gmt and long-time power reserve functions.
