Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa GMT – 42 mm (PAM01096) Limited Edition
Panerai presents Luminor Luna Rossa GMT – 42 mm (PAM01096), a special edition watch to celebrate its role as the Official Sponsor of the Luna Rossa Team. The Italian sailing team is a prominent contestant in the upcoming Prada Cup Challenger Selection Series, scheduled between January and February 2021 in waters off Auckland, New Zealand.
The road to winning the 36th America’s Cup begins with the Prada Cup Challenger Selection Series. The PRADA Cup will take place in Auckland – New Zealand from the 15th of January to the 24th of February 2021; the winner of the PRADA Cup will Challenge the Defender Emirates Team New Zealand in the Final Match of the 36th America’s Cup presented by PRADA from the 6th of March 2021. Panerai is the “Official Timekeeper” of the upcoming Prada Cup Challenger Selection Series.
The Luminor Luna Rossa GMT – 42 mm (PAM01096) brings in a new material to the iconic Luminor collection: ScafotechTM. The innovative and sustainable composite is made from carbon fiber residue collected from the hull and hydrofoils of the Italian team’s AC75 yacht. It has been recycled and forged into a high-tech polymer for use as the watch dial.
ScafotechTM endows each watch dial with a singular appearance resulting from its variegated texture. The same quality is shared with CarbotechTM, the substance that composes the bezel, an advanced formula developed within the creative incubator of the Panerai Laboratorio di Idee. This material is light weight and extremely resistant to stress and corrosion.
The model recalls Luna Rossa with a dedicated inscription affixed to the dial and a personalized engraving present on the titanium caseback. Just as Team Luna Rossa is associated with the red Prada logo, the signature color highlights both the small seconds and triangular GMT hands of the Luminor Luna Rossa GMT – 42 mm.
It self-winding engine, the Caliber P.9010/GMT is equipped with two barrels to store the energy required for a three-day power reserve and a rapid time adjustment system automatically connected to the date indicator.
The Luminor Luna Rossa GMT – 42 mm, which is water-resistant up to 10 bar (about 100 meters deep), features a black alligator leather strap with tone-ontone stitching and a titanium trapezoidal pin buckle. A second black rubber strap is also included, along with a tool to change the straps, a screwdriver for removing the buckle and a box wrapped in personalized Panerai and Luna Rossa sailcloth.
The Luminor Luna Rossa GMT – 42 mm is available in a limited edition of 250 pieces.
