About the Panerai Luminor Collection
History
Night-time and underwater visibility of watch-dials were two challenges faced by the watches made in the 1940s era. Officine Panerai took up the job of crafting a watch with these unsuitable problems. These problems were taken care of in 1949 when Panerai came out with a groundbreaking solution with the Panerai Luminor collection. Panerai was successful in identifying a luminescent substance that changed the course of watch-making for generations to come. Named after this invaluable substance, the Panerai Luminor collection set a new benchmark for visibility in hostile conditions.
Features
The Panerai Luminor collection is adorned with a brilliant solution to further enhance the robustness and reliability of a watch, the lever protecting the crown. This helps in making the crown more water-tight as well as shielding it more effectively. In 1956 Officine Panerai patented the distinctive crown protection bridge that the Panerai Luminor is renowned for. Whereas, the integrated lugs provide better protection and comfort. Apart from an in-house movement, the crown protector, and the cushion-shaped case, the Luminor collection also features a small seconds window at 9 o’clock apart from the GMT, Chrono Monopulsante, Base, and Left-handed versions.
Events
On 8th December, history was made by Panerai models which managed to garner more than 1 million euros as proceeds at the ‘Panerai Only’ auction by the renowned Artcurial Auction house for Officine Panerai. Two vintage models, a Luminor and a Marina Militare were auctioned off at more than million euros significantly much higher than any initial auction estimates.

There are watches and then there is Officine Panerai’s successor to the original Luminor models, the PAM00088. This beautiful diving watch originates from the heart of the sea, in a time of brave sailors, who traveled the world. Essential to their navigation was the use of the Greenwich meridian and its mean time to calculate their position. That was then; the GMT function on this Luminor lets the wearer read the local time and that of another country, simultaneously with the help of a separate hand. Its in house OP VIII caliber is housed in a 44mm polished steel case along with a crown protecting device and bezel of the same material. Its black dial has luminous Arabic numerals and hour markers, including the markers for 24hrs along the edge. It has a date slot at 3 o'clock, and a small seconds dial at 9 o'clock, the small seconds dial itself matching the tone of the semi-skeletonised hands and the case.
