Panerai Submersible GMT Luna Rossa Titanio

The Panerai Submersible GMT Luna Rossa Titanio 42mm PAM01507 celebrates the 37th America’s Cup, which will be held in Barcelona from August to October 2024. The PAM01507 is water-resistant to a depth of 50 bar (approximately 500 meters) and for the first time uses an innovative Super-LumiNova® X2 luminous coating on its hands and hour markers. This allows the new work to maintain a brightness that is 10% higher than the previous generation of luminous coating after being placed in the dark for 180 minutes.

Titanium, also used in the hulls of the Luna Rossa PradaPirelli sailing team, combines durability with cutting-edge technology. It is 40% lighter than steel and 60% stronger, embodying a spirit of innovation. Closely associated with sailing, the GMT hand features a sail-shaped design inspired by the mainsail of a Luna Rossa boat, subtly echoing the blue sunburst pattern on the dial and inner flange.

In recent years, as boats have become faster, the forces acting on the boat and other hull components have increased, resulting in a 30% increase in overall friction. To better address this issue, Luna Rossa's researchers began searching for a less friction-prone material. After repeated failures, they stumbled upon a specially treated ceramic that successfully reduced friction to less than 10%. The best Panerai Submersible replica watches at captainthewatch.is.

This is the inspiration behind Ti-Ceramitech™. After seven years of research and development, Panerai used a plasma electrolytic oxidation process to create this material, a blue that symbolizes the ocean. This material is 44% lighter than steel and 10 times more crack-resistant than traditional ceramic. Today, this material is used in the Panerai Submersible 44mm Luna Rossa Ti-Ceramitech™ automatic winding watches PAM1466 and PAM1543.
