Forged by decades of devising instruments for adventurers, especially those who test their mettle against the sea, the Panerai manufacture has a well-earned reputation for delivering watches that exhibit technical reliability under extreme conditions on Earth and beyond. Team Luna Rossa, winner of the Prada Cup during the most recent contest for America’s Cup, is among the top sailing clubs the world over. With a shared affinity for the marine world and proud Italian heritage, Panerai and Team Luna Rossa have been partners since 2017, with Panerai lending support to the team and taking inspiration from Luna Rossa sailing technology to create watches that exemplify the sporty spirit of the yachting universe. To coincide with the beginning of the race for the next America’s Cup, taking place in Barcelona in 2024, and the renewal of their partnership, the Luminor Luna Rossa debuts a new look.
Produced in a special edition of 1,500 pieces, the new Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa PAM1342 exhibits a bracingly fresh character, offering a modern interpretation of nautical style; the unexpected palette of white, gray, and red is the foundation for the versatile and understated watch. Its stainless steel case measuring 44 mm features a polished finish that matches with the polished lever, contrasting with the brushed crown protection device, while gray SuperLumiNova that glows green and a red small seconds hand punctuates the matte white dial personalized with the Luna Rossa logo.
Powering the new Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa PAM1342 is the manual wound movement calibre P.6000 with a power reserve of 3 days and equipped with the device that stops the balance when the winding crown is pulled out for greater accuracy when adjusting the time. The movement is protected by a solid case back and the watch is water resistant to 100 meters.
The Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa PAM1342 is delivered with two straps: a gray bi-material option with a red stripe that features the team’s logo, and a second in black rubber, along with a pin buckle in steel. A modern interpretation of nautical style with a perfect sporty and casual look.
