Through single-minded dedication to each of his historic endeavours — from trekking to the North Pole in the unremitting darkness of winter to summiting some of the world’s highest and most challenging peaks without supplemental oxygen — Mike Horn secured a place among the world’s greatest living explorers.

The Submersible Chrono Flyback Mike Horn Edition, a limited edition diving watch available in only 500 pieces, is the newest expression of a nearly two-decade collaboration with Horn and represents the brand’s flourishing tradition of creating sophisticated tools for modern heroes.

The Panerai Submersible Chrono Flyback Mike Horn Edition abounds with features able to withstand daunting conditions, beginning with a 47mm brushed titanium case that is both lightweight and highly resistant.

A hard-wearing black matte ceramic ring within the unidirectional bezel provides a highly legible tool for the measurement of immersion time, while screw-down chronograph pushers deliver a superior degree of water resistance.

Applied indices in white and vivid yellow central chronograph hands punctuate the dark blue dial, a color combination that recalls a previous model inspired by Horn, the Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 Pole 2 Pole Limited Edition (PAM00719) from 2016

As Panerai looks to the future it treasures the past, striking a balance between continuity and novelty.

Developed as an indispensable tool for daring explorers on land or sea, the Panerai Submersible Chrono Flyback Mike Horn Edition is powered by the P.9100 movement, an automatic movement with chronograph functions. The movement features the flyback function, an advanced complication that allows the chronograph to reset and restart with one press of the pusher at eight o’clock, along with a three-day power reserve.

 P.9100 calibre is 13¾ lignes it has 37 jewels and consists of 302 components.  The two spring barrels in series give a power reserve of 72 hours. The choice of the double spring barrel enables thinner, longer springs to be used, which is beneficial for the duration and evenness of the supply of energy. The automatic winding is carried out by a bidirectional rotor on ball-bearings operating two narrow arms terminating with hooks, which wind the springs of the barrels with every movement of the rotor itself.

Water-resistant up to 30 bar (about 300 meters), the Panerai Submersible Chrono Flyback Mike Horn Edition features two straps: a blue rubber accordion strap and the new UPCamo bi-material strap composed of rubber and a camouflage fabric inspired by Italian Navy uniforms.

With the patented Panerai strap system, switching one strap for another is a simple operation that requires only an included interchangeability tool and screwdriver to remove the trapezoidal pin buckle in brushed titanium.

The watches and their accessories are housed in boxes made from recycled plastic, part of an ongoing commitment by Panerai in promoting environmentally responsible practices.

ARNOLD & SON – LUNA MAGNA Platinum 44 Edition


ARNOLD & SONLUNA MAGNA Platinum 44mm Limited Edition 2021

Luna Magna PLATINUM

MOONLIGHT CHIAROSCURO

Against the grandeur of an aventurine crystal sky, the Luna Magna Platinum is revealed through its select materials. The large three-dimensional moon is composed of blue aventurine and grey marble, while the time is read on a mother-of-pearl dial. The 950 platinum case completes the piece, showcasing a changing play of light that enlivens the dial and lunar sphere.

The moon waxes, wanes, disappears, and once again returns to light up the sky. Luna Magna, the largest and most spectacular of all moons in watchmaking, begins a new cycle within its fully polished 950 platinum case with white mother-of-pearl hour and minute sub-dial in a satin-brushed ring, and ever-changing reflections.

CHANGES IN THE LIGHT

Centred on the moon theme so dear to Arnold & Son, Luna Magna Platinum is a limited series of only twenty-eight pieces. The smooth, understated shine and weight of the platinum give the piece a certain majesty. Set in aventurine crystal, the metallic crystals bring the dial to life with their brilliance.

Half of the 12 mm three-dimensional moon is made of grey marble and the other half of aventurine crystal, reflecting the moon’s dual nature. Guided by an exclusive moon-phase complication, this chiaroscuro, this movement of the light, make the Luna Magna Platinum a living, ever-changing, fleeting yet everlasting timepiece.

MOTHER-OF-PEARL DISPLAY

The hours and minutes are displayed on the graduated dial with twelve Roman numerals bearing the Arnold & Son signature.

This eccentric disc owes its luminosity to the slightly iridescent white mother-of-pearl, imparting a delicate quality that matches the elegant complication of the Luna Magna Platinum.

SWISS MADE

Luna Magna Platinum is based on the A&S1021 calibre, which has been fully developed and then assembled and adjusted in Switzerland.

Designed around the lunar globe, the movement is hand-wound and features a 90-hour power reserve and regulating mechanism set at 3 Hz. On the back is a secondary display, with clearly legible lunations for fine adjustments.

PRECISION

The celestial mechanism also owes its sophisticated design to the fidelity in its astronomical accuracy. The duration of a complete lunar cycle is 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.8 seconds.

Arnold & Son have succeeded in approximating this cycle such that, if the watch was never stopped, it would take 122 years for the moon-phase display to accumulate a day’s discrepancy from the correct phase.

And the correction is easy, since Luna Magna Platinum’s lunar function is accessible directly from the crown. A practical solution made possible by Arnold & Son’s total mastery of the watchmaking process.
