The new Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo – a Special Edition limited to 1,000 units – renews Panerai’s tradition of creating underwater watches with unique and distinctive characteristics, with excellent technical features and a strong historical inspiration.
The bronze used to make the 47-mm case, water resistant to 30 bar (~300 metres) and the 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. Structurally very strong, this material will preserve its warm original tones, while acquiring a 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.
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 can be admired.
Completely developed and produced in the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel, the movement with a power reserve of three days is only 6 mm thick and it has several 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 completed by a brown leather strap with sewing of a nautical character and a titanium buckle.
