With the introduction of the new hand-wound P.6000 calibre, with a power reserve of three days, the collection is renewed and enhanced by six watches. The new hand-wound P.6000 calibre has completely been created by Panerai’s watchmaking Manufacture in Neuchâtel, the calibre measures 15 1⁄2 lignes in diameter and its balance-wheel oscillates at a frequency of 21,600 A/h (= 3Hz). It´s a sports watch with a striking, minimalist design. The Panerai Luminor Base Logo 3 Days and Luminor Marina Logo 3 Days only decorative element is the ‘OP’ logo on the dial.

The Panerai L’Astronomo – Luminor 1950 Tourbillon Moon Phases Equation of Time GMT PAM00920 

Like its predecessor, the new L’Astronomo – Luminor 1950 Tourbillon Moon Phases Equation of Time GMT is only made to order. The skeletonised movement P.2005/GLS (standing for Galileo Luna Scheletrato) is personalised to operate in accordance with the geographical coordinates of a place chosen by the client. It provides the same range of functions as the first L’Astronomo, and in addition, GMT and two new innovations: indication of the moon phases and an original system for displaying the date using polarised crystals. 

The Laboratorio di Idee at the Manufacture in Neuchâtel has therefore designed an innovative system – pending patent by Panerai – in which the date disc is made of borosilicate glass and the numbers of the days have laser-modified optical properties. The numbers are virtually invisible in all positions except for the one that is aligned with the little date window, where a further polarized crystal, situated above the date disc, causes the number to appear so that it is perfectly legible.

The Panerai Lo Scienziato – Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT PAM00767  

With its titanium case 3D-printed Lo Scienziato – Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT is one of the innovative and surprising creations of the Panerai Manufacture. The technology used is called Direct Metal Laser Sintering: this process builds up a 3D object layer by layer by means of a fibre optic laser using powdered titanium. The successive layers – each one only 0.02 mm thick – merge together and become completely solid, creating forms which would be impossible to achieve using traditional working methods, lower in weight and with a perfectly uniform, even appearance.

FUNCTIONS Hours, minutes, small seconds, second time zone, 24h indicator, power reserve indicator on the back, tourbillon 

CASE 47 mm, brushed titanium
