SIHH 2013: Panerai PAM364 Luminor Submersible 1950 2500m 3 Days Automatic Titanio 47mm

 

In its long  history, Officine Panerai  has often been involved with  the  world of the  deep, creating watches capable of operating at extreme depths. With  the  new  Luminor Submersible 1950 2500m 3 Days Automatic Titanio, Officine Panerai  continues this long tradition, closely linked to its own history, enriching it with new  technical content to offer  underwater watch enthusiasts a professional instrument of exceptional performance.





The  Luminor 1950  case,  47  mm in diameter, of  the  Luminor Submersible 1950 2500m 3 Days Automatic Titanio is made of brushed titanium, a material which combines non-allergenic properties and lightness with the structural robustness required to resist high pressures, external stresses and   corrosion. The  water-resistance,  also  ensured by  the   classic   Panerai   device protecting the  winding crown, is guaranteed to  a depth of  2,500 metres, and  the  little  valve engraved with  the He symbol on the caseband at eight  o’clock enables helium  to escape when ascending from deep dives, thus preventing the gas exercising potentially dangerous pressure on the case.  The unidirectional rotating bezel,  which moves precisely in one-minute clicks  thanks to a special system patented by Officine Panerai, has small markers in relief, the design of which has been inspired by the model created in 1956 for the Egyptian Navy, and a graduated scale which enables the length of the dive to be read.

Protected by a sapphire crystal with  a thickness of 5.9  mm,  the  hour  markers on the  black  dial are bars or studs, applied in relief and coated with a luminous substance, as are the wide,  partially skeletonised hands, thus  ensuring optimum visibility even  in the  depths of the  sea. A subsidiary dial at nine o’clock has a small seconds hand  moving continuously, while  the  date  window is at three o’clock.

The movement of the Luminor Submersible 1950 2500m 3 Days Automatic Titanio is the automatic P.9000 calibre,  designed and produced entirely  in the Officine Panerai  manufacture in Neuchâtel. With a diameter of 13¾ lignes and 28 jewels,  the P.9000 calibre  has a balance wheel with  four  regulating screws, which makes 28,800 alternations/hour. The single-piece oscillating weight can rotate in both directions and two spring  barrels store a power reserve of three days.





Identified by the reference PAM00364, the new  Luminor Submersible 1950 2500m 3 Days Automatic Titanio is part  of the Special  Edition  collection and has been produced in an edition limited  to 500 units. Completing it is a rubber strap,  fastened by a large trapezoid-shaped buckle in brushed titanium. The strap is easily changed by means of the  button fitted in the  lug of the watch, which is operated by the special tool provided.
