Panerai introduces the new Luminor Dieci Giorni GMT ceramica PAM01483, expanding the Luminor Complicazioni collection that comprises functions focused on Chrono, GMT and high-end complications.
A technical tribute to the ability of providing long power reserve, the new Luminor Dieci Giorni GMT ceramica encases the P.2003. The long power reserve feature traces back to the 1960s when Panerai utilised a SF240 movement produced by Angelus with eight days’ power reserve and the small seconds at 9 o’clock. With a diameter of 16 lignes, this calibre was derived from a mechanism for small table alarm clocks and had 15 jewels variable inertia balance wheel that beat with 18,000 vibrations per hour and Incabloc® anti-shock device. The power reserve was so long that there was much less need for winding, thus further reducing the wear on gaskets and the possibility of water infiltration and therefore meeting the rigorous requirements of the Italian Navy commandos.
“A step further in the 10-day power reserve segment, the new Luminor Dieci Giorni GMT ceramica epitomizes bold style and a daring attitude. Challenging its legacy of technicity and high-tech material innovation, this reference offers our clients a mix of enduring performance and Italian design.”
Jean-Marc Pontroué, CEO, Panerai
The P.2003 is the first automatic calibre developed by Panerai within its Manufacture in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. In this ecosystem, technological innovation and horological craftsmanship of the Maison is driven by the “Laboratorio di Idee”. A division of the Research & Development Department, herein all the technical projects are crafted by the skilled hands of engineers, drawing inspiration from the archives and the Italian DNA of the brand as well as pushing boundaries while ensuring that every new creation is consistent with the unmistakable Panerai character and identity.
With a distinctive long power reserve of 10 days, displayed on the dial by a linear indicator, the P.2003 calibre is made up of 296 components with 25 jewels, measuring 133/4 lignes in diameter with a thickness of 8 mm. It has all the technical characteristics which form the DNA of the P.2000 series (free-sprung balance wheel with inertia regulation; 28,800 alternations per hour; three spring barrels; GMT function with 24-hour indication; rapid adjustment of local time; date; balance wheel stop; seconds reset device) but it is distinguished by having automatic winding with a power reserve of 10 days, operated by an oscillating weight mounted on a ball bearing, which winds the springs of the barrels as it rotates in both directions.
The open case back of the new timepiece allows for a clear view of the intricate movement, highlighting the technical proficiency and aesthetic of the watch. It embodies Panerai’s heritage, showcasing and dedication to transparency and excellence in watchmaking. Water-resistant up to 10 bar (~100 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 fulfils Panerai’s stringent standards.
The PAM01483 boasts a 44mm black ceramic case and a green sun-brushed sandwich dial with white SuperLumiNova®, complemented by an open titanium DLC case back and Luminor’s distinctive iconic crown-protecting device. Giving the watch a deep and dark look, the black ceramic case is also highly scratch-resistant. A tribute to the early 2000s models, the timepiece’s dial showcases a linear power reserve display and a striking orange GMT arrow with AM and PM indications to infuse the timepiece with a modern yet classic flair. The small seconds dial hands feature a stop-second reset of the device to ensure that the second’s hand resets to zero automatically when the crown is pulled out, allowing for precise time setting.
Featuring a sapphire crystal dome, the PAM01483 in an ode to the Maison’s earlier watch designs that provides added visibility and readability of the dial. The dome’s curvature accentuates the dial’s features, adding depth and dimension to the watch’s face. The crystal of Panerai watches is made of sapphire, formed of corundum, a very hard material that is second only to diamond.
The Luminor Dieci Giorni GMT ceramica, paired with a black alligator strap with a second military green rubber strap, appeals to the modern trendsetter, offering a more contemporary and assertive sporty design.
