The Submersible Luna Rossa PAM01565, developed by the Laboratorio di Idee at the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel, is an e-commerce exclusive limited to 300 pieces.
“This watch encapsulates the essence of competitive sailing – a relentless drive toward victory and a deep respect for the marine domain. With the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team at the helm, striving for triumph in the America’s Cup 2024, Panerai stands by them, not only as a sponsor but as a kindred spirit in the quest for innovation and excellence.”
Jean-Marc Pontroué, CEO, Panerai
Encased in a 42mm brushed steel case, the watch boasts a unidirectional rotating steel bezel with a black matt ceramic disk, chosen for its notably higher resistance to scratches than a metal one, essential for withstanding the shocks or unintended contact with various objects the bezel is usually exposed to and might be damaged by. The bezel rotates only counterclockwise, allowing for the calculation of immersion time – a crucial feature for an underwater instrument. Water resistant up to approximately 300 meters, this watch has been rigorously tested, subjecting it to a pressure up to 25% greater than the guaranteed water resistance value to ensure it meets Panerai’s stringent standards. The bezel’s robustness complements the watch’s steel case, ensuring the new Submersible Luna Rossa is ready for any challenge, whether it’s aboard a racing yacht or deep beneath the waves.
The watch is powered by the automatic P.900 movement, renowned for its reliability with a 3-day power reserve. The P.900 is an automatic caliber that integrates expansive function within the confines of remarkably streamlined proportions. Measuring 12½ lignes (28mm) in diameter and only 4.2 mm thick, the movement is among the slimmest automatic calibers in the Panerai portfolio. The energy necessary to accumulate a power reserve of three days is delivered by a bidirectional oscillating weight and stored in a single barrel. Its balance wheel, oscillating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, is securely fixed in position by a balance cock. The caliber is equipped with a stop-second function that enables precise time setting.
The screwed case back, which helps to ensure the watch’s high degree of water resistance is engraved with the image of a Slow Speed Torpedo, the notorious “pig” on which the commandos of the Italian Navy sailed through the depths of the sea on their missions while wearing instruments made by Panerai, in the 1940s.
