TWO YEARS AFTER THE EXTRAORDINARY INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION GIVEN TO ITS FIRST WATCH WITH A BRONZE CASE
Officine Panerai presents the
Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Power
Reserve Automatic Bronzo, a
new Special Edition produced in this
material with its decisively nautical character which owes its
fascination to the aged appearance it acquires with the passage of time.

The new feature which distinguishes this model is in the dial: the
display of the power reserve of three days on an arc-shaped indicator
positioned at four o’clock. This very useful function joins the date
display, the device for zeroing the seconds hand that is invaluable when
synchronising the watch with a reference time signal, and the system
for rapidly adjusting the time, the hand of which can be moved forward
or backwards in jumps of one hour without affecting the running of the
watch. The dark green dial, with applied hour markers, is surrounded by a
studded bezel in bronze with the scale for measuring the length of the
dive. The bezel is connected to the case by a special system designed
and patented by
Officine Panerai to ensure that the ratchet moves
precisely from one click to the next.

The case is the classic size
for
Panerai watches, 47 mm in diameter, fitted with the equally classic
bridge device with the locking lever ensuring the water-resistance of
the winding crown.
The sapphire crystal back is fixed by a titanium ring
through which can be seen the
Panerai P.9002 calibre, developed and
produced entirely in the
Officine Panerai manufacture. The
Luminor
Submersible 1950 3 Days Power Reserve Automatic Bronzo is
water-resistant to 30 atmospheres (300 metres) and is completed by a
brown leather strap with stitching of a subtly nautical character and a
titanium buckle.

BRONZE
Bronze has a long history, dating
back as far as the second millennium BC. At that time, it was used to
produce items such as tools, weapons, musical instruments and armour,
being stronger and tougher than its predecessors copper and stone.
Bronze consists of copper with a variable percentage of tin. It may also
contain varying amounts of aluminium, lead, beryllium, manganese and
tungsten, sometimes with silicon and phosphorus as well.

Bronze is very versatile and it is highly valued for its many different uses: in the arts, in sculptures (80% copper and 20% tin) and for making bells (21.5 to 24% tin), the creation of hydraulic systems where the bronze alloy contains 10% of tin and 3% of zinc, and the more recent use of this material for ship propellers, where its high resistance to corrosion by seawater is invaluable. And in the past, since its resistance to corrosive seawater is much greater than that of iron, this alloy was used for the equipment of many yachts of yesteryear: portholes, handrails,
cleats, winches and compass binnacles were made of bronze, and it was
also used for divers’ helmets.

Its ancient history and its close
links with the world of the sea make bronze the material that embodies
the core values of
Officine Panerai, which uses an alloy of copper and
tin in the pure state. In addition to its high structural strength, this
material retains its original warm tones while with the passage of time
it acquires an aged appearance through the patina that covers it.
This
patina is the result of the reaction of the bronze with external agents
such as air, moisture, heat and friction. It does not alter the
properties of the material, but it is evidence of ageing, giving each
piece its own unique personality. The patina of the bronze is its skin:
it is a protective layer, and as the surface of the metal becomes
covered, it slows down any further oxidation of the metal.
