The Panerai Submersible GMT Luna Rossa Titanio PAM01507 celebrates the 37th America's Cup, which will be held in Barcelona from August to October 2024. Let's first look at the ocean-related performance. The PAM01507 is water-resistant to a depth of 50 bar (about 500 meters) and uses Super-LumiNova® X2 luminous coating for the first time. The coating is applied to the hands and hour markers, which makes the new watch 10% brighter than the previous generation of luminous coating after being placed in the dark for 180 minutes.

Titanium case is also one of the materials used in the hull construction of the Luna Rossa PradaPirelli sailing team. It combines durability and cutting-edge technology. It is 40% lighter and 60% harder than stainless steel, demonstrating the spirit of innovation. Closely related to sailing is the shape of the GMT hand - the sail, whose design is inspired by the main sail of the Luna Rossa hull, and cleverly echoes the blue sunburst pattern dial and inner ring flange.
In the timepieces exhibited this time, in addition to the titanium case, the innovative material Ti-Ceramitech™ is also used, which is a high-density ceramic layer converted from the surface of titanium alloy. In recent years, as the speed of ships has become faster and faster, the forces acting on the sailboat and other parts of the hull have also increased, and the overall friction has increased by 30% compared to before. In order to better solve this problem, researchers from the Luna Rossa sailing team began to look for materials that are not easy to produce friction. After many failures, they accidentally discovered a specially treated ceramic material that successfully reduced the friction to less than 10%.
The inspiration for Ti-Ceramitech™ comes from this. After 7 years of research and development, Panerai has created a blue material that symbolizes the ocean through plasma electrolytic oxidation technology. It is 44% lighter than steel and ensures that the crack resistance is 10 times higher than traditional ceramics. Today, this material is used in the new Panerai Submersible series 44mm Luna Rossa Ti-Ceramitech™ automatic winding watch PAM1466 and PAM1543.
