Encased in a 48mm red gold case, the Radiomir 1940 Tourbillon GMT Oro Rosso features a sapphire crystal back showcasing the perpendicular tourbillon cage unique to this design that allows for a more even run and fewer inaccuracies. The watch is powered by an hand-wound mechanical Panerai P.2005 calibre, with a power reserve of six days.

The timepiece also a GMT hand located on the central axis, a second time-zone at 3, with AM / PM indication, and a small second at 9. The GMT hand can be adjusted by one-hour increments directly by the screwed crown, without disturbing the seconds or the minutes.

The Radiomir 1940 case is entirely made of 5npt red gold, a special alloy with a high percentage of copper which gives the gold a warm, elegant tone, and a percentage of platinum which helps to prevent oxidation. The watch is water-resistant to five bar. It is supplied with a Panerai personalised brown alligator strap closed by an adjustable red gold buckle.

The Panerai Radiomir 1940 Tourbillon GMT Oro Rosso PAM558 is limited to 30 pieces only.

Officine Panerai presents a new Special Edition in Panerai Composite, the synthetic composite used in haute horlogerie for the first time by Officine Panerai and produced by an electro-chemical process of transforming aluminium. The new Luminor Composite 1950 3 Days - 47mm combines the characteristics and performance of this material, exceptional for its lightness, strength and durability, with the new hand-wound P.3000 calibre, entirely designed and produced in the Officine Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel.
The Luminor 1950 case in Panerai Composite is 47 mm in diameter, a classic size for Panerai watches, and it has a matt brown appearance of great evenness. Made of the same material are the bridge protecting the winding crown with the classic clamping lever and the round bezel which surrounds the sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment. Water-resistant to 100 metres, the case has the polished crystal back which enables the movement to be seen.The sandwich dial too is dark brown and stripped to essentials with the characteristic small seconds dial at 9 o'clock. The dial is of sandwich construction, being formed of two thin metal discs, the upper one of which is perforated to allow the luminous substance placed between them (Super-LumiNova®) to be seen. The hands are also covered with the same luminous substance, in a special ecru colour so as to reproduce the vintage appearance of the dials of the period.
The movement used in the Luminor Composite 1950 3 Days - 47mmis the manufacture P.3000 calibre. With a diameter of 16½ lignes and hand-wound, the movement has a structure with large bridges, comparable to plates, while from the technical point of view it has two spring barrels, ensuring a power reserve of 72 hours (three days), and a large-diameter balance wheel with adjusting screws.Identified by the reference PAM00375, the new Luminor Composite 1950 3 Days - 47mm is produced in a unique numbered edition of 2,000 examples and it is supplied with a leather strap, closed by a buckle made of Panerai Composite.

Calibre P.3000Entirely designed, developed and produced in the Officine Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel, the hand-wound P.3000 calibre presents the main characteristics of the Panerai movements both in terms of structure and in terms of performance, robustness, accuracy and its long power reserve.

The thickness of the calibre P.3000 is 5.3 mm and the diameter is 16½ lignes, a substantial size which traces its origins from that of the movements which were fitted to the historic Panerai models. The calibre is immediately recognisable by its construction, which is similar to that of a three-quarter plate movement: a large bridge, next to another smaller one, covers the majority of the mechanical parts and it is fixed to the bottom plate by a series of screws of substantial thickness, thus forming a particularly rigid structure.

The movement has 21 jewels and it uses two spring barrels connected in series. Such an arrangement enables long, thin springs to be used, which ensures the delivery of a more even force and also does so over a longer period of time, with a power reserve of 3 days. The balance wheel is unusually large (13.2 mm) and it is the variable inertia type, with four adjusting screws arranged externally round the ring, so that the rate can be regulated without it being necessary to remove the whole assembly. Supported by a bridge with twin supports - a fixing much safer and more stable compared to the cantilevered single bridge - the balance wheel oscillates at a frequency of 3 Hz, equivalent to 21,600 alternations per hour. It is fitted with an Incabloc® antishock device and is free-sprung, so there is no regulating lever.

With brush-finished bridges and chamfered angles - that is, with the angles smoothed and polished - the P.3000 calibre is also fitted with the device for the rapid adjustment of the time: a star wheel with 12 points and a small spring clutch enable the hour hand to be moved one hour at a time, without interfering with the movement of the minute hand or the operation of the watch.

Ceramic is a material characterized by a combination of metal and non-metal atoms. Known and used by man for centuries, it can also be produced artificially through simple processes or extremely sophisticated methods, which allow high-performance materials to be synthesized.
In the field of watch-making, some types of ceramic like synthetic sapphire or rubies (both varieties of Aluminium Oxide - Al2O3) have already been in use for some time as they satisfy specific requirements of hardness and reliability. In addition, ceramic has established itself as one of the most interesting and successful materials for the creation of cases and other watch components traditionally made from metal.
Panerai Composite is the new material introduced into fine watch-making for the first time by Officine Panerai. Employed up until now in the aeronautic industry and for the creation of automotive and motorcycle components that require a particularly high level of performance, Panerai Composite is obtained through an electrochemical process of ceramization of the aluminium, resulting in a material with unique features.

CHARACTERISTICS AND PERFORMANCE

Panerai Composite is a material harder and lighter than the ceramics commonly used in watchmaking to manufacture cases (zirconia, ZrO2), but is also harder than metals such as aluminium, steel and titanium.

These characteristics make Panerai Composite an ideal material for the creation of watch cases as it guarantees comfort, great aesthetic qualities - it can be synthesized in various colours, resistance to knocks, scratches and high temperatures.
Furthermore, Panerai Composite is ductile, allowing for complex geometries and processing, and is inert, so it does not change its structure or appearance over time.
THE CERAMIZATION PROCESS
The ceramization process of aluminium leading to the synthesis of Panerai Composite is not similar to any other techniques currently in use in the watch-making industry. In traditional coating processes in fact, layers of ceramic dust are applied onto metal and only the topmost surface of the case is involved in the process itself.
With Panerai Composite, the aluminium cases are immersed in a chemical bath where, thanks to a conductive liquid and to the electricity which generates extremely high temperatures (up to 10,000°C), the metal undergoes an electrochemical process that profoundly modifies its structure while still allowing it to remain faithful to the original geometry. The result of this process depends on many factors, including the solution used, the immersion times, the material and the shape of the piece being worked on.
Before being mounted on a Panerai watch, each case undergoes finishing and is put through a series of tests that certify its aesthetic and technical qualities. The result is a material that is extremely homogeneous, solid, of matt appearance and soft to the touch.
The entire ceramization process is totally environment-friendly: the only working residue is, in fact, the hydrogen which separates from the oxygen molecules that become integrated into the case.
