Luxury and Brilliant L'Astronomo Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT from Panerai

Panerai is a Italian luxury watch brand which initially introduced timepieces and instruments for Italian Navy. It is just several years when Panerai targets itself from military use to public. From 1997, each Panerai watch is created in Neuchatel, Switzerland. Today's Panerai watches are all equipped with its in-house outstanding movement.

The L'Astronomo Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT is a sophisticated and outstanding timepiece. It features Panerai's classic cushion-shaped oversized case. The 50 mm diameter case has a special attraction for men. This time, Panerai choose light and solid nicely brushed titanium to create this L'Astronomo Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT watch. The bezel is round and also made of polished titanium. It is fitted 5 Arabic numerals. It can display the sunrise and sunset time. The L'Astronomo Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT watch is characterized by its elegant black dial, fitted with a month indicator located at 3 o'clock. As the sunset and sunrise are inextricably connected with latitude, Panerai technicians will set the time for the customer's appropriate time zone before shipping the watch. The "Equation of Time" Complication, located above the 6 o'clock, indicates a 30-minute, critical time interval, starting from -15 up to +15. This interval represents the difference between the real solar time, and human perception of time, which differ with up to 15 minutes, eider we perceive a slower or faster time passing due to the Earth’s particularities connected with its orbit.

The most impressive feature of the remarkable Officine Panerai L'Astronomo Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT also called PAM 365 is a fascinating map of the sky, animated by a remarkable mechanism it precisely shows the image of the sky in every moment of the year. Depending on the hemisphere chosen, the celestial disc moves either clockwise or counterclockwise, constantly updating its position.

Panerai Radiomir 47mm 10 Days Auto GMT PAM 323

The Radiomir 10 Days GMT 47mm has all thesalient characteristics of the Radiomir, the most classic of Officine Panerai models, designed and constructed for military use three-quarters of a century ago. Further to all the technical characteristics of the original, it has just two time zones, date, 10-day power reserve and above all, a movement entirely designed and built in-house by Officine Panerai in Neuchacirc;tel.

The typical cushion-shaped case of the Radiomir 10 Days GMT 47mm is in stainless steel and waterproof to 10 bar (about 100 metres). To ensure that its most delicate point is watertight, it still has the regulating screw-down crown with, like the military models, a cut-off conical shape for easier turning. The 47mm diameter is also the same as the vintage series but despite its size, this watch fits the wrist perfectly. One distinguishing feature is its removable wire lugs. An Officine Panerai patent means that they can quickly be taken off the case body when the strap needs replacing.

The dial gives more information than older models,but still has both the traditional graphic layout and its sandwich structure, thought up to give exceptional visibility, due to the great quantity of luminescent material between the two layers. In addition to the hour and minute hands, again highly luminescent, there is a second time zone hand, easily recognisable thanks to its arrow point, a power reserve hand that rotates in the little subsidiary dial above 6 o'clock and a sweeping small seconds hand, with a two-colour am/pm disc in its dial. The whole dial is protected by 1.9 mm thick anti-reflective sapphire crystal made from corundum.

Visible through the sapphire crystal back plate, the movement of this new Radiomir is the P.2003/5 calibre, entirely designed and constructed in-house by Officine Panerai. With a diameter of 13 frac34; lignes and 25 rubies, the calibre has 296 elements and thanks to its three spring barrels ensures 10 days' autonomy. When the crown is pulled out to change the time, the seconds hand returns to zero to allow accurate synchronisation with the time signal. With reference PAM00323, the Radiomir 10 Days GMT 47mm is produced in 500 numbered units and comes on a crocodile strap with large steel buckle, polished to match the case.

Panerai Luminor 44mm Ceramic 10 Days Auto GMT PAM 335

The P.2003 automatic mechanical movement, entirely designed and constructed in-house by Officine Panerai, the black and opaque ceramic, the long power reserve and a second time zone are the distinguishing features of the Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Ceramica 44mm.

The case on the new Luminor is made of zirconium oxide ceramic, a material very hard and resistant to corrosion and scratching. The case is formed using an isostatic pressure process that produces a single block ready for milling. It takes over 60 operations to complete a Luminor 1950 case, its production and finishing complexity due to its grooves, hollows and curved su**ces.

44mm in diameter and waterproof to 10 bar (about 100 metres), the case on the new Luminor is a faithful reproduction of the aesthetic canons of this historic model, including the crown-protecting lever bridge, this too in ceramic, which mainly serves to ensure that the winding and regulating crown stays watertight. The screw-down back plate is in titanium with a sapphire crystal window at its centre, blackened to match the main colour of the watch and in this way giving a burnished effect to the movement too.

The dial, protected by a 2mm anti-reflective sapphire crystal has the classic sandwich structure formed by two fine plates, one on top of the other. The great quantity of luminescent substance placed between the two plates ensures exceptional visibility even in scarce lighting conditions or total darkness for the hour markers and the 3 large Arabic numerals. The numbers indicating the date and all the hands are all highly luminescent, as are the second-time zone hand with its arrow point, the am/pm hand in the small seconds dial and the horizontal cursor that indicates the remaining power reserve.

The Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Ceramica 44 mm is powered by a automatic mechanical P.2003 inhouse manufactured movement. With a diameter of 13 frac34; lignes and 25 rubies plus a structure that is one of its kind on today's watch panorama, it comprises 296 elements and accumulates, thanks to its three spring barrels, enough energy to guarantee a 10 days' autonomy. This means that the watch only needs winding three times a month.

With reference PAM00335 and produced in just 500 numbered units, the new Luminor comes on a black leather strap fastened with a large titanium buckle customised with the Officine Panerai logo. There is also a spare strap and a small tool for replacing it when necessary.

Panerai Radiomir Ceramic 48mm 6 Days Skeleton Tourbillon GMT PAM 348

Officine Panerai presents a very special exclusive edition of its Radiomir featuring made-over aesthetics and technology but all the usual appeal: the Radiomir Tourbillon GMT Ceramica 48mm.

The main novelty of the Radiomir Tourbillon GMT Ceramica 48mm is its refined skeleton structure, clearly visible from the dial. This in fact, is made of a fine mesh that supports both a fine external band, with small ecru-coloured luminescent Arabic numerals and hour markers and also the subsidiary dials, showing the small seconds, tourbillon movement and am/pm. The second time zone is indicated by a third central hand, which finishes in an arrow point, as luminescent as the hour and minute hands. The shape of the dial allows the numerous parts of the movement to be seen, including the tourbillon regulator at 10-11 o'clock. The dial is protected by sapphire crystal made from corundum (1.9 mm thick), with double antireflective coating.

The 48mm diameter case is made of a zirconium oxide ceramic, an exceptionally hard, corrosionresistant material that is first pressed in a single block and then fine-milled to give it, after numerous operations, its final cushion shape. The back-plate, made from a ring of titanium, houses a large window in sapphire crystal through which the movement can be seen.

Despite the technical complexity of the tourbillon movement and the special material used for the case, this watch is waterproof to 10 bar (about 100 metres), thus qualifying as a true traditional Radiomir.

The new Radiomir has a P.2005/S movement with a diameter of 16 frac14; lignes and 31 rubies, characterised by its tourbillon that rotates perpendicularly to the axis of the balance, completing two rotations a minute instead of one and thus guaranteeing greater precision. Comprising 277 parts, the movement is the result of exceptional work by the maestro watch-makers at Officine Panerai and, thanks to its three spring barrels, enables a power reserve of six days, indicated by a hand that can be seen through the back plate moving through the arc of a circle.

With reference PAM00348, the Radiomir Tourbillon GMT Ceramica 48mm will be produced in only 30 units, all millemised and numbered. It comes on a leather strap with adjustable buckle in scratchresistant burnished steel.

Panerai PAM00331 Tourbillon GMT P.2005

In 2010, Panerai launched one of the most complicated and unique watches - PAM00331 Tourbillon GMT,which equipped with the most precise movement - P.2005.

PAM00331 featured Luminor 1950 case, which was Titanium made and brushed, 47mm in case diameter. 100m waterproof, which reflected Panerai's consistent pursuit of leisure sailing. Different to other tourbillon watches, PAM00331 displayed the movement of tourbillon in an unique way: on the small seconds subdial at 9, besides a small second hand, there was also a blue dot indicator. This indicator was connected with tourbillon, its rotate speed was 2 times of the small second hand, turned around every 30 seconds(tourbillon's speed). In the other side, at 3 o'clock, the hand turned around every 24 hours, the "pm" or "am" on the dial meant day or night.
