SUBMERSIBLE 1950, BRINGING ABOUT A COMPLETELY NEW COMBINATION OF
GREAT APPEAL.

A few years after the original launch of the watch, when this fascinating ancient material, always associated with the sea, was first brought onto the international stage of high-quality watchmaking, Panerai presents a new watch with a bronze case, combined for the first time with a blue dial.
The new Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo renews Panerai’s tradition of creating iconic underwater watches with unique and distinctive characteristics, with excellent technical features and a strong historical inspiration. A few years after the original launch of the watch, when this fascinating ancient material, always associated with the sea, was first brought onto the international stage of high-quality watchmaking, Panerai presents a new watch with a bronze case, combined for the first time with a blue dial.
The bronze used to make the case (47 mm in diameter) and
the classic bridge device protecting the winding crown is
an alloy of copper and pure tin, which is highly resistant to
the corrosive action of sea water and atmospheric agents.
As well as being structurally very strong, this material
preserves its warm original tones, while acquiring an
agreeably worn look from the characteristic patina which
forms over time. This patina is the result of the reaction
of bronze with external agents and it has no effect on the
intrinsic properties of the material, but it is a visual sign of the ageing process, making every example unique and
different from the rest.
Also made of bronze is the rotating bezel with a graduated scale for calculating the time of immersion, connected to the case by a special system designed and patented by Officine Panerai to ensure the maximum precision of the clicks. In the centre of the back is a sapphire glass porthole through which the P.9010 automatic calibre, with a power reserve of three days can be admired. Completely developed and produced in the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel, the movement is only 6 mm thick and it has very useful functions including the date (at 3 o’clock), the small seconds counter (at 9 o’clock), the device for stopping the balance wheel so as to synchronise the watch with a reference time signal, and the mechanism for rapidly adjusting the hour hand, which can be moved forwards or backwards in one-hour jumps without interfering with the running of the watch.
The new Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo (PAM00671) is water-resistant to 30 bar (300 metres) and it is completed by a brown leather strap with sewing of a nautical character and a titanium buckle. It is a Special Edition limited to 1,000 units
