Luminor Submersible 1950 Bronzo

PANERAI - LUMINOR SUBMERSIBLE 1950 BRONZO

LIMITED AND NUMBERED EDITION OF 1000 PIECES

A BEAUTIFUL WATCH WITH MILITARY AND DIVING STYLE

Again Panerai surprises us with a model of breathtaking. Each time I am given in to this fantastic brand. A new watch with the famous Panerai case but with a difference in the material used, and I must say it is phenomenal.

At SIHH 2013 watch fair, Panerai show its Luminor Submersible collection of military-style diving watches, releasing three new models in three different case materials.

The one that most evokes the brand’s Italian navy origins is the Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Power Reserve Automatic Bronzo, with its dark, military green dial and bronze case.

A watch manufactured with Bronze

Bronze is a material readily associated with sailing, diving, and other nautical pursuits due to its use in vintage yachts and ships. The bronze used in this watch’s case is CuSn8, an alloy of copper and tin in its pure state, which is both structurally strong and highly corrosion-resistant.

Over time, the material’s warm tone will develop a patina as it reacts to external agents such as air, humidity, heat and wear, rendering each watch unique to its owner and his or her experiences.

LUMINOR SUBMERSIBLE 1950 BRONZO

Officine Panerai presents the Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Power Reserve Automatic Bronzo, a new Special Edition produced in this material with its decisively nautical character which owes its fascination to the aged appearance it acquires with the passage of time.

The new feature which distinguishes this model is in the dial: the display of the power reserve of three days on an arc-shaped indicator positioned at four o’clock. This very useful function joins the date display, the device for zeroing the seconds hand that is invaluable when synchronising the watch with a reference time signal, and the system for rapidly adjusting the time, the hand of which can be moved forward or backwards in jumps of one hour without affecting the running of the watch.

The dark green dial, with applied hour markers, is surrounded by a studded bezel in bronze with the scale for measuring the length of the dive. The bezel is connected to the case by a special system designed and patented by Officine Panerai to ensure that the ratchet moves precisely from one click to the next.

The case is the classic size for Panerai watches, 47 mm in diameter, fitted with the equally classic bridge device with the locking lever ensuring the water-resistance of the winding crown. The sapphire crystal back is fixed by a titanium ring through which can be seen the Panerai P.9002 calibre, developed and produced entirely in the Officine Panerai manufacture.

The Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Power Reserve Automatic Bronzo is water-resistant to 30 atmospheres (300 metres) and is completed by a brown leather strap with stitching of a subtly nautical character and a titanium buckle.
