Panerai Luminor Marina Logo Acciaio 3 Days - PAM 777

"Strong, simple and iconic: for many years the Luminor Logo has been one of the best-sellers of the Panerai collections with its powerful, distinctive identity.. A sports watch with a striking, minimalist design, this model’s only decorative element is the OP logo on the dial; all the other details are purely functional, faithful to the history of Panerai. This Luminor Marina Logo use the P.6000 calibre, hand-wound with a power reserve of three days. Completely created by Panerai’s high quality watchmaking Manufacture in Neuchâtel, the calibre is 15½ lignes in diameter and its balance, which oscillates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, is securely fixed in position by a bridge with twin supports. For greater precision when adjusting the time, the calibre also has the device which stops the balance when the winding crown is pulled out. The dial of the model has the classic Panerai design, extremely readable both in daylight and in the dark. Consisting of the interlinked letters O and P with two arrows pointing up and down, this logo refers to Officine Panerai’s two historic vocations. In the early years of the 20th century, the Panerai workshops in Florence began creating optical and other precision instruments for the Royal Italian Navy, not only for underwater operations but also for searching the sky. The combination of sea and sky is part of the history of the brand, a fact which is marked by the name Radiomir, that of the first military diver’s watch ever made by Panerai, created for the Navy in 1936, which has gradually evolved over the years into the contemporary Luminor. The name Radiomir originally described the radium-based luminescent substance patented by Panerai in 1916 to make the luminous dials of aiming instruments and sighting binoculars."

About Panerai: Founded in Florence in 1860 as a workshop, shop and school of watch-making for many decades Panerai supplied the Italian Navy specialist diving corps with precision instruments. Originally created to be used deep underwater, Panerai watches are known for their unparalleled legibility and luminosity in the dark. In 1997 the brand was acquired by the Richemont Group and launched on the international market. Today Panerai develops and crafts its movements and watches at its Neuchâtel manufacture, combining Italian design flair and history with Swiss horological expertise.
