MOONRISE
The star of the night takes up residence on the dials of four new automatic models, including three in steel, unveiled this fall by the Florentine watch brand.
Introduced in 2017 and bearing all the symbols that make up Panerai‘s unique signature, the Luminor Due collection has been growing over the years. In this fall season, it welcomes a complication renowned in particular for its poetic spirit, the moon phase, which it harmoniously integrates into the architectural face of four new references named Luminor Due Luna.
This series of watches is based on the technical performance of the P.900/MP caliber, a 4hz automatic movement with a unique barrel and a large three-day power reserve. It is housed in a 38mm case, water-resistant to a depth of 30m, machined in steel (for three of the four models) and in GoldtechTM (for the Luminor Due Luna Madreperla), a gold, platinum and copper-based alloy for a unique, long-lasting shine.
The dials, with their famous sandwich structure, come in two variations: white with gold indexes, Arabic numerals and hands highlighted with sand-colored Super-LumiNova®, or blue with the white-tinted luminescent material. Only the Luminor Due Luna Madreperla, with its white mother-of-pearl face, has an applied hour circle that gives a different relief. At 9 o’clock, the moon phase with its golden disc on a navy blue sky echoes the small seconds at 3 o’clock. The steel models are worn on an alligator leather strap or a bracelet with links whose half-moon shape is directly inspired by the famous crown protection bridge.
