Three New Models Panerai x Luna Rossa Team – PAM01038, PAM01037 and PAM01036

Panerai’s partnership with Luna Rossa, the Challenger of Record of the 36^th America’s Cup, was celebrated earlier this year with the Luna Rossa Challenger Submersible PAM01039 model. A 47mm dive watch with 300m water-resistance and a carbon fibre case like the monohull of the AC75 Luna Rossa, this first commemorative model had a sailcloth dial and touches of red and white like the Luna Rossa logo. As the official sponsor of the Italian team, Panerai has launched three watches directly inspired by the materials and technologies used by the Luna Rossa yacht competing in the America’s Cup: Luminor Luna Rossa Regatta 47mm PAM01038; Luminor Luna Rossa Chrono Flyback 44m PAM01037; and Luna Rosa GMT 44mm PAM01036.

COMMON DENOMINATORS

Although none of the models is a novelty, the colour scheme of black, grey, red and white echo the colours of the Luna Rossa yacht. Common denominators across all three models include the use of lightweight, sturdy and corrosion-resistant materials and the incorporation of functions that are useful in regattas. All the watches have a 12-sided screw-down caseback with engravings of the Luna Rossa logo, the yacht and the America’s Cup and all three watches feature a sapphire crystal protecting the dial obtained from corundum.

The incorporation of grey sailcloth on the sandwich dial is common to all three watches as is the white Super-LumiNova on the hour markers and hands that glow green in the dark. And last, but certainly not least, all three are fitted with in-house Panerai automatic movements with two spring barrels offering a beefy 3-day power reserve.

LUMINOR LUNA ROSSA REGATTA 47mm PAM01038

This model is equipped with a regatta countdown function, a knots scale to calculate speed, a robust 3-day power reserve and a Carbotech case, the same material used on the hull of the Luna Rossa.  Even the hallmark protective crown lever of the Luminor family s is crafted in Carbotech with its distinctive marbled effect. With layers and layers of carbon fibres bonded and reinforced by polymers, Carbotech is extremely resilient and hard-wearing, as well as being corrosion-resistant. The automatic in-house flyback chronograph movement – calibre P.9100/R – is the only movement at Panerai to feature a regatta countdown function specifically designed for the world of competitive sailing.
