Officine Panerai Luminor 1950 Left-Handed 8 Days Titanio - PAM00368
Part of a single owner collection.
In the history of Officine Panerai, wristwatches for left-handers appeared for the first time in the early 1940s, when the first examples were produced for the commandos of the Italian Navy with the winding crown and bridge protecting the crown on the left; today these are very rare and highly sought-after by collectors. A possible historic justification for the existence of these watches may lie in the overall equipment carried by the commandos, which included not only the watch but also the compass and wrist depth gauge, which could have been worn on the left wrist instead of the watch.
The Luminor 1950 47 mm case, is made of brushed titanium with a polished bezel and a sapphire crystal back which enables the manufacture P.2002/9 movement to be observed and the power reserve to be read.
The brown sandwich dial has the small seconds at 3 o’clock. The sandwich structure consists of two superimposed discs between which is placed the luminous material with which the markers and figures are displayed.
The Luminor 1950 Left-handed 8 Days Titanio – 47 mm is fited with the P.2002/9 calibre, completely designed and produced within the Officine Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel. The hand-wound calibre has three spring barrels which provide a power reserve of eight days, and the seconds reset function, which zeroes the second's hand, enables the watch to be perfectly synchronised with a reference time signal.
