As the continued official sponsor of Italian sailing team Luna Rossa, Panerai introduces two new Luminor novelties to the Luna Rossa collection, namely the Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 and the Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653.
Both of these additions are highly performing mechanical timepieces which have been tested for the toughest conditions to ensure reliability, durability and functionality — taking inspiration from Panerai’s rooted connection with the marine world and Luna Rossa’s striking aesthetics and visual identity.
You’ll find key elements of the Luminor collection in both watches, from the distinctive signature crown-protecting device with lever to the luminous dial, that offers optimal readability in all conditions. Further supporting performance is the rhodium small seconds display which allows you to verify functionality with ease.
The watch is also easily readable even in low-light conditions, thanks to the Super-LumiNova X1 on the markers and hands.
For the sporty casual Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653, you’ll find that it is crafted from the premium AISI 316LVM – 1.4441 stainless steel, which is known for its strength and corrosion resistance. It is essentially vacuum arc remelted to maximise purity and improve resistance to corrosion.
Each PAM01653 watch has been rigorously tested too, ensuring that it has guaranteed water resistance value that meets Panerai’s stringent standards.
On the other hand, the limited edition Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 is made with a Titanium 44mm case, which is a material that is much lighter than steel, making the watch more comfortable on the wrist. It is also resistant to corrosion and physical wear, providing you with longevity for everyday use.
Powered by the P.9100 caliber, the PAM01654 incorporates the flyback chronograph function with tachymeter scale for nautical use; allowing the chronograph hands to reset to zero and restart instantly with a single press.
Over on the design front, the PAM01654 features a grey matt-tone sandwich dial which embodies the bold and technical ethos of the Luna Rossa team, and is accented with striking red details and the team decal.
