With the Luna Rossa collection being the forefront of the offerings from Panerai at Watches and Wonders 2024, an interesting new look to the Submersible line is being introduced with in the form of the Panerai PAM01507 Sumbersible GMT Luna Rossa Titanio (Titanium).
While the stunning blue sun burst dial and red accents can quickly catch your eye. The first thing I notice as a Panerai enthusiast is the deep flange that now has the 24 hour markers for the GMT around it, which we haven’t seen before on a Panerai watch before. Before we go too far into that discussion let me give you a little info on the watch itself because while that might be the first thing you notice, this beauty is also debuting something that we probably didn’t think would get any better.
This 42mm brushed titanium cased beauty is the debut watch for the brand new Super Luminova X2 on the indecies as well as the hands. If Panerai didn’t have the brightest and longest lasting lume in the watch market already, I’m sure the bumped it up enough to take that crown. The advancements in the lume allow the new SuperLuminova X2 to be 10% brighter after 180 minutes in the dark.
Another new element present on the PAM01507 is the red accented GMT hand. At first glance you would think it’s a asymmetrical arrowhead, but a closer look will reveal a hand that is inspired by the racing sails of the Luna Rossa racing yacht.
The watch is powered at its core by the P.900/GMT automatic movement with it’s ultra reliable 3 days of power reserve. The indices and the hour hand are accented with green lacquer, a deliberate choice that evokes the luminescent vibrancy of Super-LumiNova® X2, while Super-LumiNova® X-1 illuminates the blue-accented minute hands and dots on the bezel.
The PAM01507 is completed with one of two strap options. The first is a bi-material blue strap with a red stripe bearing the Luna Rossa Name in white. The second is the blue rubber strap that compliments the blue tones on the watch as well.
The Submersible GMT Titanio will be available at all boutiques starting September of 2024.
