LUMINOR CHRONO MONOPULSANTE GMT BLU NOTTE

A new watch in a limited edition of just 200 pieces marks Panerai’s return to the field of chronography: an embodiment of sporting spirit and innate elegance for those seeking a chronograph like no other.

Taming time, pacing epic competitions, synchronizing heroic missions: they are weighty responsibilities that hold success or failure in the balance, and therefore must be entrusted to tools with advanced mechanics. It is a world of precision and performance in which Panerai has distinguished itself since the 1940s.

Today the brand reaffirms its role in the sphere of chronography.

Panerai began perfecting its expertise in the category as early as 1943, the reference year of the Mare Nostrum project, a model designed to serve the deck officers of the Italian Navy, developed only to the prototype stage, one of which is carefully preserved in the Panerai museum in Florence. Its mastery has extended into the 21st century, with the introduction of a series of efficient, high-performance new proprietary calibres developed by the research and development department within the Neuchâtel manufacture, the legendary Laboratorio di Idee, a hub for innovation and avant-garde imagination.

Through the union of an aesthetic strongly identified with the Panerai brand, namely the distinctive language of the iconic Luminor, and an original approach to the chronograph complication arises a special new model with a marked individual identity, in a limited edition of only 200 pieces: the Luminor Chrono Monopulsante GMT Blu Notte (PAM01135).

A powerful expression of Italian design and the innovation of the Panerai Laboratorio di Idee, the new Luminor immediately reveals its sporty attitude with a matte black ceramic case; the chronograph pusher appears on the left side to create equilibrium with the opposite crown-protecting device, which enhances its iconic silhouette. It has a powerful presence reinforced by the midnight blue dial with satiné soleil decoration and classic sandwich structure, with Arabic numerals and indexes in white Super-LumiNovaTM with green luminescence.

To support this notable introduction, Panerai harnessed its sophisticated mechanical know-how. The P.2004 calibre is a tribute to the first chronograph caliber created and developed entirely by Panerai Manufacture, a manually wound mechanical movement, the synthesis of that expertise, with functions that exceed the capacity of conventional chronographs. The Luminor Chrono Monopulsante GMT Blu Notte (PAM01135) is a single-button column wheel chronograph, which combines the start/stop/reset functions in a single push-piece. It is also equipped with the GMT function, allowing the home time and local time to be displayed simultaneously.

Water-resistant to 10 bar (more than 100 meters deep), the new Luminor Chrono Monopulsante GMT Blu Notte (PAM01135) stands out for a black sandblasted ceramic case in 44mm, based on Zirconium Oxide powder. Through a complex series of working and operations, it acquires a particularly even matt finish and provides the characteristics of hardness, ensuring high resistance to scratches.

The new Luminor Chrono Monopulsante GMT Blu Notte (PAM01135) is outfitted with a primary strap in deep blue calfskin with ecru stitching and a trapezoidal pin buckle in titanium with black DLC coating. An additional strap in rubber of the same deep blue hue exudes a relaxed and elegant style in any setting. To complete the offering, a tool for strap interchangeability and a screwdriver for removing the buckle are also included.

We are proud to be participating in this year’s edition of Only Watch, a charity auction held every two years in Monaco to benefit research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It will mark the fifth time we have been part of the Only Watch auction. Each auction features one-of-a-kind watches produced by some of Switzerland’s most important watch brands especially for this event. Our unique contribution in 2021 is the Heritage BiCompax Annual Only Watch in white gold with a silvered dial and contrasting blue subdials. Its annual calendar complication indicates that the date only has to be corrected once a year, on the 1st of March. The caseback is engraved with the words ONLY Watch and PIECE UNIQUE – clear indications that this is a unique piece.

The Heritage BiCompax Annual Only Watch is an exciting part of Carl F. Bucherer’s Maison and Heritage Brand World, whose watches translate the brand’s DNA onto its clients’ wrists with models that reimagine and reinterpret some historic timepieces. The first Heritage BiCompax Annual was launched in 2019 and taking design inspiration from an archival piece dating back to about 1950, it became an immediate hit.

The Only Watch auction will take place during the Monaco Yacht Show on the 6th of November 2021 under the patronage of HSH Prince Albert II.

Stay tuned for more information.
