Made of titanium, the Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa Tourbillon GMT PAM1099 watch is 47 mm in diameter. Looking closely at the case, there is a sandblasting effect, which is derived from the "direct metal laser sintering" technology, which can directly sinter various metal powders. The titanium metal powder is sintered (you can understand the pressing process of the material) through the fiber laser to form a layer, and then a three-dimensional part is formed. Unlike traditional cutting, the key to this technique lies in the accumulation of layers of materials to eventually form a case with a hollow interior.

The unique production method brings many advantages to the case. The first is the sense of lightness. During the precipitation of the titanium layer, the thickness of each layer is only about 0.02 mm, which makes the weight of the watch 40% lighter than that of stainless steel. In addition, the corrosion resistance of titanium is another big advantage, which can make the case more durable. The watch is water resistant to 100 meters. The bezel and crown are made of patented carbon fiber. This carbon fiber-based material, scientifically called Carbotech, is used to build the AC75 monohull of the Luna Rossa fleet because of its light weight.
Panerai took inspiration from it and took the lead in introducing Carbotech carbon fiber material into the field of advanced watchmaking. After high pressure compression, each carbon fiber sheet is staggered in different directions to form a random and varied matte black texture. Surrounded by black and gray tones, the red and white hollow dial is particularly eye-catching. The red and white details that characterize the Luna Rossa watch are derived from the logo of the Luna Rossa fleet ropes.
The inner bezel is outlined in red, and the hour markers and functional hands are matched in red and white. A day and night display is set at the 3 o’clock position, with a central GMT hand, so you can keep track of the day and night conditions in the second time zone. Small seconds at 9 o'clock. The words "Panerai" at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, as well as "Luna Rossa Challenge" and "36th America's Cup" are engraved on the crystal.
The design of the hollow dial gives the watch a skeletal look, allowing mechanical watch fans to see the mechanical structure inside the watch. For example, the tourbillon device on the watch (10 o'clock / 11 o'clock).
Panerai's tourbillon cage is perpendicular to the horizontal axis of the balance wheel and runs once every 30 seconds, which is faster than the traditional tourbillon that runs once per minute. This patented design is not for attracting attention, but for By increasing the number of rotations, the error caused by gravity can be better reduced.
The ultra-long power comes from the P.2005/T manual winding movement. The movement uses three connected barrels, and the material is also made of titanium (where T stands for Titanium in English). The weight is only 23 grams. This manual movement with tourbillon and dual time function was developed in-house by the Panerai watch factory. It vibrates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and has an Incabloc anti-shock device.
