A GOLDEN DUO
The Florentine watchmaker adorns both timepieces with its golden alloy baptized Panerai GoldtechTM which dazzles with intense sheen
This golden duo features two highly-distinctive faces: sun-brushed black and sandwich-style structure for one, sanded-finished ivory white and printed hours for the other; Whether they’re carved or slightly relief-styled, the hour markers and Arabic numerals are coated with golden-beige Super-LumiNova®, a tone that’s just as inviting as the coppery glints of the case, like the central baton-type hour and minute hands and the small seconds at 9 o’clock. The date features at 3 o’clock on this duo.

The Luminor Marina Bucherer Blue is a limited edition of just 188 watches. It comes with an anthracite fabric watchband imitating the famous denim used in jeans. This reference is also available with a solid watchband in matching rubber. Like all the watches in the Blue Edition collection, the Panerai is only available at Bucherer shops and on the website.
The dials, produced with the same sandwich structure, are covered in dark gray sailcloth, giving a unique textile effect contrasting with the markers and the Arabic numerals in white with green phosphorescence. On the Luminor Luna Rossa Regatta model, the chapter ring has the regatta display on the side, a must for yacht races.
The cases, which are water resistant up to a depth of 100 m, come with leather straps in various shades. A spare beige fabric strap is also included in the green satin-finished cherrywood box of these new Radiomir editions.
The Luminor Tourbillon GMT 47mm Lo Scienziato comes in a cherry wood box with two straps, one in gray leather and the other in black Velcro.
The Submersible Mike Horn Edition is worn with a blue strap made of recycled PET. The robust watch is watertight down to 300m and promises to be much more than a regular diving watch. Thanks to the experience offered by Panerai, it will also prove to be a wonderful memory.
The Submersible Chrono Guillaume Néry Edition has all the assets needed for safe underwater excursions. The large, 47mm-wide titanium case is water-resistant down to 300m and is both light in weight and robust. The wide, unidirectional bezel shows the time remaining underwater. “Aesthetics are a source of efficiency“ the French free diver has said. The choice of blue and grey tones and the presence of large features coated with lume are the watch’s major assets.
The dial and mechanism are housed in a cushion-style, 47mm-wide Radiomir case that is water-resistant down to 100m, while the 316L steel provides excellent resistance to rust. The two models (PAM00791 and PAM00790) are worn on a natural leather strap, adding to the retro style.
The richness of this quintet of timepieces has an advantage: you will definitely find the watch of your dreams, both in terms of look and features. Because here there is something for everyone, from the most basic elements (hours and minutes in the centre, second hand at 9 o’clock) to the most complete (second time zone, day/night and power reserve indicators), from robust steel to elegant pink gold. Each case is watertight down to 100m (excepting the pink gold PAM 00934, which can only be immersed to 5ATM) and is decorated on the back by an undulating pattern like a cloud; an effect achieved by a metal plate placed on the sapphire glass and giving a glimpse of the mechanism.
As its name suggests, the Luminor has a very generous power reserve of 192 hours, thanks to the presence of two barrels mounted in series in its self-winding movement, the calibre P 5000.
