Officine Panerai renews its long tradition, enriching it with new technical content to offer underwater watch enthusiasts a professional instrument of exceptional performance.
The Luminor 1950 case, 47 mm in diameter, of the Luminor Submersible 1950 2500m 3 Days Automatic Titanio is made of brushed titanium, a material which combines lightness with the structural robustness required to resist high pressures, external stresses and corrosion.

The water-resistance, also ensured by the classic Panerai device protecting the winding crown, is guaranteed to a depth of 2,500 metres, and the little valve engraved with the symbol He on the caseband at eight o’clock enables helium to escape when ascending from deep dives, thus preventing the gas exercising potentially dangerous pressure on the case. The unidirectional rotating bezel has small markers in relief and a graduated scale which enables the length of the dive to be read: its design was inspired by the model created in 1956 for the Egyptian Navy.

Protected by a sapphire crystal 5.9 mm thick, the hour markers on the black dial are bars or studs, applied in relief and coated with a luminous substance, as are the wide, partially skeletonised hands, thus ensuring optimum visibility even in the depths of the sea. A subsidiary dial at nine o’clock has a small seconds hand moving continuously, while the date window is at three o’clock.

The Special Edition Luminor Submersible 1950 2500m 3 Days Automatic has the P.9000 automatic movement, completely designed and made by Officine Panerai in the manufacture in Neuchâtel. Completing it is a rubber strap, fastened by a large trapezoid-shaped buckle in brushed titanium. The strap is easily changed by means of the button fitted in the lug of the watch, which is operated by the special tool provided.

HAMILTON - JazzMaster Viewmatic Skeleton


HAMILTON - JazzMaster Viewmatic Skeleton  NEW

The new H-20-S movement plays horological hide and seek

Baselworld 2013
Hamilton has never made a secret of its ability to know what men and women want – in Hollywood plots and in everyday life. Its exclusive new H-20-S skeleton movement is both the beating heart and exposed soul of the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton, Gents and Lady. In two contrasting designs, the same movement bears almost all, continually reminding the wearer to look for beauty inside and out. Playing horological hide and seek behind skeletonized dials, these watches review the topic of gender equality from opposed angles, harmoniously agreeing to differ.

A personal ‘backstage’ tour continues on the case-back, which is open. Satisfying the wishes and needs of today’s multi-tasking women is a unique new attachment concept comprising an easy click strap. This enables the wearer to exchange a five-row stainless steel bracelet for a white leather strap, edged and lined with sumptuous ruby red, to accommodate a change in outfit, occasion or outlook. And building on the idea that opposites attract, the traditional watchmaking technique of skeletonizing meets its match with high-tech laser-engraving contributing to decoration that would be at home on coveted works of contemporary art.


The H-20-S Hamilton automatic movement echoes the skeletonization theme, uniting proven craftsmanship with relentless accuracy. Contemporary decoration, ranging from brushed, skeletonized rotors to an intricate ‘H’-pattern on individual elements, add a sense of theater to traditional precision timekeeping. The wearer “audience” participates in this show directly thanks to generously dimensioned openings displaying components such as the escapement, hairspring and barrel zealously at work.

Feminine intuition exposed
Proudly wearing its heart on its sleeve, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Lady combines romantic appeal with meticulous detail. An unmistakably modern filigree effect creates numerous windows in a variety of shapes across the round, iridescent white dial. The overall effect has a floral-inspired character, with elegantly elongated indices posing as permanent dewdrops. Design detail invites the eye to peek through the openings to see the exclusive, decorated automatic H-20-S movement, scattered with petal-like ruby-red detail, at work behind the scenes.

Playing a strong lead male role 
 Containing exactly the same exclusive movement as its feminine soul mate watch, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Gents incorporates a fascinating session of “show and tell”.  On show on both sides of the timepiece are the ultra-modern watchmaking techniques employed to create the H-20-S “engine” of the watch, telling the story of aesthetic mechanics meeting bold masculinity. Angles and curves join forces to make the dramatic, anthracite-colored cut-outs occupying the majority of the dial and even offering stolen glimpses of the wrist below. Framing this are cleverly constructed, multi-level rings displaying detailed markings from 0 to 60 and the branding. Contrasting with the artistic statements of the skeletonizing are applied Super-LumiNova® indices for further technical punctuation. The last word comes from the choice of a five-row stainless steel bracelet or a black leather strap. Suddenly the concept of wearing your heart on your sleeve looks like having distinctly masculine appeal.
