Some technical press on it.
The power reserve of 8 days, tested by Panerai at the end of the 1940s, has
been repeated in the Panerai movement by using an assembly consisting of
three spring barrels. To achieve accurate setting of the hands and
synchronization with the reference time signal, the seconds hand jumps to
zero as a result of the zero reset device, a sophisticated zeroing system
which at the same time instantly stops the balance wheel. Avant-garde
techniques are employed in the construction of the movement. This is
hand-wound and consists of 245 components, with a free-spring balance and no
conventional regulator. This means that a very precise regulation can be
carried out by adjusting the screws directly on the balance wheel itself.

The Luminor 1950 8 Days GMT's black cushion dial (formed of two superimposed plates, the upper one being perforated and the lower one covered with luminous material) has a small calendar window at 3 o'clock, symmetrically complemented by the traditional continuous seconds dial. The power reserve indication, employing a triangular index which moves across a graduated linear scale, is at 6 o'clock, while the arrow-pointed centre hand of the second time zone is partnered by the day/night subdivision, visible through the circular aperture at 9 o'clock, which through its different colors enables the hours before and after midday to be distinguished.

Thoughts on the new Panerai inhouse movement .....
Hi forum ,can I get some thots on the new inhouse P.2002 8days movement on the PAM200 and PAM233? New inhouse calibres always excite me . How do you rate it with the JLC 8 days ? Any views is appreciated .
I am also curious about 3 barrels
I wonder if they chose it for certain technical advantage or just to make it look and sound more impressive with "3 Barrels" stamped on the back.
One thing I wished Panerai didn't do is cover up the entire movement
with the base plates. I'm crossing my fingers for a more see-through skeletonized movement than the current design. - Anthony
Tks for all the opinions and pics ......but
I gather some reservations about this new inhouse movement from some responses .
