BLUE JEAN
The blue wave never stops rolling in for the watchmaking world. The limited edition co-signed by Bucherer and Panerai has everything it takes to become a collector’s item.
After a Radiomir Bucherer Blue in 2016, Panerai and the Swiss distributor are working together again this year to present a new limited series. The Luminor Marina Bucherer Blue combines the esthetics of the watchmaker’s models with the color imperatives inherent to the collection bearing its name. The dial is in midnight blue with a vertically brushed finish bearing the usual numbers and markers coated in a beige luminescent material unique to the model. A small second counter is located at 9 o’clock, while the date is placed symmetrically at 3 o’clock. It comes in a titanium case with DLC coating that is watertight to 300 meters. This combination of colors and materials reinforces the timepiece’s casual chic personality.
The 44-mm case with its famous crown-protecting bridge houses the P9100 caliber. This self-winding movement assembled using 200 components provides a 3-day power reserve when fully wound. The balance wheel cut-off system guarantees precise timekeeping.
The Luminor Marina Bucherer Blue is a limited edition of just 188 watches. It comes with an anthracite fabric watchband imitating the famous denim used in jeans. This reference is also available with a solid watchband in matching rubber. Like all the watches in the Blue Edition collection, the Panerai is only available at Bucherer shops and on the website.
Price: 11’500 EUR
