Remarkable resistance to magnetic fields 

For Panerai, innovation is above all about functionality, and in the Luminor Submersible 1950 
Amagnetic 3 Days Automatic Titanio it is seen in its special case construction which ensures a 
remarkable degree of resistance to magnetic fields: 40,000 A/m (ampere per metre), a limit more 
than eight times greater than the value specified by the international standards of the Normes 
de lIndustrie Horlogère Suisse (NIHS 90-10). Such a high limit is achieved by the use of a special 
internal case made of soft iron of the highest purity, which encloses and isolates the movement, 
forming a Faraday cage that diverts the flow of magnetic fields. The soft iron case is immediately 
beneath the dial, which is made of the same material. 
This case structure is useful not only in extreme environmental situations but also in daily life, 
in that watches are often exposed to magnetic fields generated by electric charges and 
currents emanating from objects in common use, such as household appliances, computers 
2 and cell phones. Such magnetic fields can noticeably alter the rate of the watch and even stop 
the movement: a possibility that is virtually non-existent in the new Luminor Submersible 1950

This may bring me back to Panerai... :) Assume the website info is incorrect since its lists both a solid and see-through back. Unless my phone browser is screwing with me...

NIce - but all too common

A handsome PAM for sure, but kind of disappointing to see Panerai join the league of Rolex copycats - a club that is not as elite as the classic PAM club. Of course, I'm open to it though, because at least we now have a PAM with a "traditional" diver look... 

Thanks for the heads up, Anthony!

The jury's still out on this one... nice-looking watch , just not sure it's a nice-looking PAM ...

Amagnetic ala Panerai or really amagnetic?

 
 By: amanico : September 13th, 2012-21:17
Amagnetic = thick dial made with soft iron + dust cover in soft iron, + sensible parts of the movement made in special amagnetic alloy. That is " amagnetic ". Best, Nicolas.

LOL! Nice one Nico [nt]

Sadly... I like it.

Will have to see it in the metal but at first glance... it's a nice variant. Thank you. OpC

It's a good opportunity to chat with our Anthony

I hope you are well, Many thanks for sharing this info and pictures. What was once a military secret, a star amongst the stars, an icon and not one of the apps now appears to melting his dna and fusion. Like above 'optionc' I too say 'sadly I like it' alt... 

I like the look of the PAM389 from the pictures

As a big fan of the PAM305 Submersible, this new PAM389 Amagnetic Submersible is a nice variant of this design. I hope it's the same thickness. Am I going to buy one? I need to see this one in the flesh before making that decision. I still need to buy a P... 

PAM 372, no discussions, the other one I agree

372, no discussions, the other one I agree > with you, that PAM 389 needs to be seen, but from here it seems, well let’s see ;-) although I am sure you will enjoy your PAM 372 :-) All the best to you.

Sweet

This type of bezel reminds me of those from Rolex. Surprisingly, it looks real good together with the rubber strap.

Like the bezel look...not the way they did

 
 By: nacho m : September 14th, 2012-02:37
a ceramic bezel is "something more" than a ceramic sticker placed on top...c´mon! You should see larger images, and see the "gaps" between the bezel limits or the markers... and the ceramic layer. No way. This is way behind ceramic bezels we can see in ot... 

agree.....

 
 By: THH : September 14th, 2012-20:46
it look "ok" to me; thats about it!! but i can see how it will appeal to others... 9k euro?! not for me, thx!

Looks like the new Tudor to me

 
 By: Nicko16 : September 14th, 2012-05:01

for newbies paneristi. Why not! It seems that OP have found a new opportunity to please to computers' consummers with this AMAGNETIC model. Maybe the first one in this line. Not my personal taste. Will see if OP will add a blue and red "Coca-Cola" ring LO... 

Wow !! a desk diver !!

 
 By: P@trick@Belgium : September 14th, 2012-15:39
now you can safely work on your PC and pick up your handy without being afraid of magnetic fields .............. close ..... but no cigar this time for Mr B. what's next ? :)

Nice!

Looking forward to checking this one out in the metal.
