SIHH 2013: Panerai PAM508 LUMINOR SUBMERSIBLE 1950 3 DAYS AUTOMATIC CERAMICA - 47mm

 

The absolute darkness which rules in the depths of the sea is reflected in the appearance of the Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Ceramica, the new  Officine Panerai  Special Edition  which, with  its matt ceramic case,  its P.9000 manufacture movement and  the  details inspired by the historic heritage of the brand, represents a perfect synthesis of history, technology and watchmaking design.





The Luminor 1950 case, with the black ceramic bridge protecting and sealing the winding crown, is made of sandblasted black ceramic, a material synthesised from zirconium oxide powder which is both light and tough as well being resistant to scratches, corrosive agents and high temperatures. The classic  shape of the case  47 mm in diameter is created by a complex series  of working and finishing  operations which also give it a particularly uniform, smooth matt appearance.





The unidirectional rotating bezel  enabling the length of the dive to be determined is made of the same matt ceramic as the case.  The only colour which contrasts with  the profound black  of the case  and  of the  dial is the  ecru  Super-LumiNova® on the  applied hour  markers, the  graduated scale  and the partially skeletonised hands. The date  window is at three o’clock while  the classic Panerai  small seconds dial is positioned at nine o’clock.

The  case  is sealed by  a titanium back coated in black,  with  a S.L.C. torpedo engraved in the middle, and hosts the hand-wound mechanical calibre  P.9000, entirely  developed and executed in the Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel. With a diameter of 13¾ lignes, 28 jewels, a variable inertia balance and  Incabloc® anti-shock protection, the  P.9000 movement is notable for the  precision of its construction. It has two spring  barrels which are constantly wound by a weight oscillating in both directions, providing a power reserve of three days.  The movement also has a convenient system for adjusting the hour hand which can be moved forward or backwards in steps of exactly one hour, at the same time also changing the date  displayed.

The  Luminor Submersible  1950 3  Days Automatic  Ceramica  (PAM00508) is water- resistant to 30  bar (300 metres) and  it is supplied with  a black  calf leather strap,  fastened by a large  trapezoid-shaped buckle in brushed titanium coated in black.  It has been produced in an edition limited  to 1,000 examples.
