Boasting a 44mm black ceramic case, this new timepiece anchors Panerai’s ongoing exploration of high-performance materials. Celebrated for its strong resistance to high temperatures, scratches, and corrosion combined with a lightweight nature that ensures a remarkable wearability, ceramic has become a cornerstone of Panerai’s high-tech material portfolio, introduced for the first time in 2007 with the Radiomir Black Seal Ceramica PAM00292.

But it is in the creation of
Panerai cases that the Maison truly demonstrates its expertise, transforming ceramic into intricate and highly functional tool watches and resulting in a timepiece that captures the Maison’s sporting yet sophisticated essence.

The
process begins with a zirconium oxide-based ceramic powder (
ZrO2), a
high-tech material known for its strength and stability. Depending on
the color, several grades can be used. The zirconium oxide powder is
mixed with a binder and then processed (molding or injection), creating
an initial rough shape of the watch part. After this first processing
step, the material is called
“green-part”, not fully dense and suitable
for rough machining.

The
semi-formed case is subjected to a sintering process in
high-temperature ovens. This process densifies the ceramic, transforming
the initial ceramic compound into a dense and robust material capable
of withstanding wear and tear. The ceramic part undergoes a shrinkage of
approximately
20% during sintering, requiring precise calculations to
ensure the final dimensions are accurate.

Once
hardened, the ceramic is shaped and refined using diamond-tools wheels
and tooling. This step involves smoothing surfaces, defining intricate
details, and achieving the distinctive curves of the
Luminor case. The
complexity of
Panerai’s case design, with its multiple rounded surfaces
and components like the crown guard and bridge, demands an unparalleled
level of technicity and engineering expertise.

Extensive
research and development have been conducted to reinforce the case’s
most exposed and delicate parts, including the lugs. These refinements
ensure that the lugs, which experience the most stress during everyday
wear, meet
Panerai stringent standards for shock resistance.
On this new release, the Luminor GMT Power Reserve Ceramica PAM01574
features a 44mm black ceramic case with a mix of polished and
sandblasted finishes, complemented by a smoked sapphire crystal case
back and a titanium base. Water-resistant up to 30 BAR (~300 meters),
this watch has been rigorously tested, subjecting it to a pressure 25%
greater than the guaranteed water resistance value to ensure it meets
Panerai’s stringent standards.

The
new timepiece is powered by the
P.9012 caliber, an automatic movement
offering a comprehensive suite of functions. The GMT complication
ensures easy tracking of a second-time zone, making this timepiece an
ideal companion for global travellers. With a power reserve of three
days, the watch’s energy is stored in two spring barrels, wound by an
oscillating weight that operates in both directions. For precise time
setting, the balance wheel stops when the crown is pulled out and at the
same time the small seconds hand resets to 0 thanks to the reset
seconds function. The quick time-setting function allows the hour hand
and date to be adjusted forward and backward effortlessly, making it
practical for everyday use. With
231 components and
31 jewels, the
caliber measures
13¾ lignes in diameter and a mere 6mm in thickness,
visible through the smoked sapphire crystal case back. The balance,
secured by a bridge with twin supports, oscillates at a frequency of
28,800 vibrations per hour (
4 Hz), ensuring precise and reliable
timekeeping.

The sandwich-style dial of
PAM01574 stays true to
Panerai’s functional
design: features like the crown-protecting device with lever, sandwich
dial and luminosity, originally designed for professional purposes, have
now become integral to the
Luminor design. Boasting a blue sun-brushed
sandwich dial, the timepiece features a power reserve indicator at the 5
o’clock position – with ‘ORE’ (Italian for “hours”) elegantly inscribed
on the dial as a nod to
Panerai’s Italian flair – providing a clear and
practical way to monitor the remaining energy, a vital feature for
everyday wear. The dedicated 12-hour GMT hand, bevelled date window at 3
o’clock as well as minuterie track along the edge of the dial allow for
further utility and precise reading of the minutes. Luminous markers,
hours and minutes hands are coated with white Super-LumiNova® X2 glowing
green, while power reserve indicator and GMT hand are coated with blue
Super LumiNova® X1.

PAM01574 comes with an elegant blue alligator strap and an additional,
more casual blue rubber strap. Both first and second strap, as well as
the buckle, are equipped with the PAM Click Release System™ requiring no
tool for easy switch between each strap option to ensure versatility
for every style preference.
