This Summer, RJ Sets Sail With ARRAW Marine 
Mykonos Special Edition Watch Series

RJ has captured the essence of summer life in the Greek isles in a 10-piece limited edition series from the ARRAW Marine collection. These timepieces were inspired by the most iconic symbols of Mykonos, from the blue of the Aegean Sea to the Greek windmills and the mighty rocks that form the Cyclades island.

Each ARRAW Marine Mykonos special edition case, crafted in grade 5 titanium, comes adorned with the signature rubber RJ BumpersTM that define the ARRAW collection. The unique composite bezel combines sand with a high-performance resin created in-house by RJ. The unique sand-infused bezel is secured to the case with a metal grid whose shape alludes to the iconic windmills of Mykonos.

Many stages of dial treatment are required to impart the ARRAW Marine Mykonos with its lustrous Aegean blue effect, first sun-brushed, then galvanized, gradient-painted and then coated with a transparent lacquer. This hue refers both to the color of the sea as well as the legendary blue of Mykonos. The chronograph counters have been rhodium-plated to coordinate with the arrow-shaped, satin-finished hands, so that the limited-editions remain faithful to the ARRAW Marine family.

The RJ-2040 self-winding chronograph movement displays a 30-minute counter at 9 o’clock, a 12-hour counter with a date aperture at 6 o’clock, and a small seconds counter at 3 o’clock. The transparent sapphire crystal case back allows a fascinating look at the oscillating weight, designed to reference the iconic windmills of Mykonos.

The ARRAW Marine Mykonos special edition comes with a blue alligator strap that has been manually patinated to project the same casual ease that characterizes life in the Greek isles. The underside of the strap has been reinforced with a rubber insert for durability and comfort. The special edition timepiece also comes with a black rubber bracelet, ideal for swimming or water sports, comes with the watch as well.

Changing out the strap is easily accomplished thanks to the interchangeable strap system. This hallmark of the ARRAW collection allows the strap to be released and an alternate strap installed with a simple ‘click’.

PANERAI – PAM00768 LUMINOR Tourbillon GMT Lo Scienziato

















OFFICINE PANERAI PAM00768 LUMINOR Tourbillon GMT “Lo Scienziato” Titanium – 47 MM Special Edition 2019

LO SCIENZIATO

A bold expression of visionary, high quality technical expertise. A tangible demonstration of mechanical evolution. An extreme development of Panerai’s own exclusive language. Lo Scienzato is back!

THE POWER OF DETERMINED INNOVATION

Lo Scienzato has deliberately pushed Panerai’s existing technical and mental boundaries, revealing the electrifying horizons of a new dimension.

Today this model, whose mechanics and style have steadily evolved for almost a decade, has returned to the scene, and it is reaffirming its extrovert character through its dominant presence. Unmistakable, but not unchanged, the new Luminor Tourbillon GMT is revealed today as one of the most challenging projects of Panerai Laboratorio di Idee.


TITANIUM CASE

"The case is made using a very innovative technology which enables it to be hollowed out internally, forming an extremely complex geometrical cavity.

The technology used to build the case is called Direct Metal Laser Sintering: this process builds up the case layer by layer by means of a fibre optic laser using powdered grade 5 titanium. The successive layers merges together and become completely solid and reducing the total weight by 40% compared to traditional titanium." The dial, which provides an industrial image with the darkened movement components visible, features hours, minutes, smalls seconds, GMT, 24h indication, power reserve indication and a 30-second tourbillon.

P.2005/T calibre

First Panerai tourbillon calibre in titanium with fine skeletonized bridges and plates. Thanks to the lower density of this material – about half that of the brass of which these components are normally made – the overall weight of the movement is 35% less than that of the P.2005/S skeletonised version. The long power reserve of six days is achieved by the three spring barrels connected in series, and the power remaining is shown by a special indicator on the back of the movement.

All this fine work of skeletonising enables the fascinating details to be admired, such as the winding and unwinding of the spring inside each barrel, the intricate interconnection of the wheel work and in particular the rotation of the tourbillon cage, which, in the version patented by Panerai, is fundamentally different from the normal arrangement. In order to compensate more precisely for the effects of gravity on the escapement, thus achieving more accurate operation, the tourbillon cage rotates on an axis which is perpendicular, not parallel, to that of the balance, and it makes a complete rotation every 30 seconds instead of once a minute.

The new Luminor Tourbillon GMT “Lo Scienziato” PAM00768 watches are supplied with a grey alligator strap with graphite stitching and folding buckle, and they are water-resistant to 3 bar (a depth of about 30 metres). The ultra-light case, which weighs only 18 grams, is equipped with scratch resistant sapphire crystals on both sides.

The clear indications on the dial of the Luminor Tourbillon GMT make it extremely easy to read, with excellent visibility under all lighting conditions and in complete darkness, thanks to the use of Super-LumiNova ® on the markers.
