LUMINOR DUE 45 mm

THE LUMINOR DUE COLLECTION IS ENHANCED BY NEW MODELS IN WHICH SIMPLICITY AND SPORTY ELEGANCE ARE COMBINED WITH THE SOPHISTICATED TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS OF THE P.4001 AND P.4002 AUTOMATIC CALIBRES, WITH DATE, SECOND TIME ZONE AND POWER RESERVE INDICATOR.

With their sophisticated technology and their simple, minimalist lines, the new Luminor Due 3 Days Automatic (PAM00943) and the Luminor Due 3 Days GMT Power Reserve Automatic (PAM00944) are the perfect synthesis of historical and contemporary references.

The two new models, created by the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel, have the Luminor case 45 mm in diameter, a fascinating anthracite dial and the advanced technology of the P.4001 and P.4002 automatic calibres with which they are fitted.

The Luminor Due case of the two models, in AISI 316L stainless steel, includes in its thickness of a few millimetres the fascination of the history of every Panerai watch, with its clean lines and the characteristic bridge device which protects the winding crown.

The anthracite dial, with small seconds counter and date, has the classic Panerai design and a satiné soleil finish which endows this very elegant watch with a decidedly sporty spirit. The sandwich structure of the dial, with its two superimposed discs containing the luminous beige substance of the hour markers, makes it extremely legible under all lighting conditions as well as in the dark.

Both the Luminor Due 3 Days Automatic (PAM00943) and the Luminor Due 3 Days GMT Power Reserve Automatic (PAM00944) have a power reserve indicator. In the first, it is circular and positioned on the back, while in the second, which is also fitted with the GMT function with am/pm indication, enabling the time in a second time zone to be read, it is on the dial at 5 o’clock.

These two additional functions distinguish the P.4002 from the P.4001; both movements are automatic calibres with a power reserve of three days, and they can be admired through the sapphire crystal porthole in the back. The two movements are 13¾ lignes in size and they have an off-centred micro-rotor made of tungsten – a material chosen for its high specific weight – and two spring barrels.

The balance oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and it is firmly fixed in position by a bridge with twin supports, which help to make the structure of the calibre strong and reliable. The useful seconds reset mechanism stops the balance and zeroes the seconds hand when the time is adjusted, so that the watch can be accurately synchronised.

The new Luminor Due watches are supplied with a brown alligator strap with contrasting beige stitching and they are water-resistant to 3 bar (a depth of about 30 metres).

HYT – H4 Fluid Titanium Black DLC Edition

















HYTH4 Red FLUID Titanium Black DLC coating 51mm Limited Edition

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO





HYT H4 Enlightened. Energized. Polarized.

Dissolving apparent contradictions drives HYT. The latest H4 watches shed even more light on this intrinsic fascination with making the paradoxical meaningful.

These colorful new timepieces remain loyal to the brand’s fil rouge of showcasing the power of the past and future to assign the present context and content. At the same time, they add a striking new dimension to the combined energy of two potentially polemic opposites – light and liquid – with the smallest dynamo ever invented, patent pending. There’s an instant of tension when creativity succeeds in replacing an enigma with enlightenment. The new H4 watches were born of such a moment.

HYT is a master of directing relevant encounters between art and science, bringing together horology with fluidics by visualizing time’s passage with immiscible liquids. The H4 builds on this foundation to explore the tension between day and night, mindful that time’s flow never sleeps. Illumination comes from the first mechanical source ever designed for an haute horlogerie complication. The exploration of new territories in miniaturization and component curvature enabled the in-house development of a micro-generator. This sources light from two LEDs without any support from electronics or batteries.

Bauhaus boldness enlivens a canvas of black and silver metal components in four eye-catching H4 limited editions. Three focus on red, green and blue respectively. A fourth family member adds a touch of yellow to these in a stunning multicolored statement. As the fluorescent nano-particles in the transparent composite dials catch the light, each of the surface’s tiny perforations transforms into a light source in itself.

Adding its signature to the paradoxical perfection of these timepieces is the seamless combination of an exclusive mechanical movement and patented fluidic module. Even the bi-material strap in rubber and technical fabric shows that opposites attract, act and interact.
