In 1943, Panerai presented a prototype of the "Mare Nostrum," a chronograph with two counters specially designed for deck officers of the Italian Navy. Since then, the brand has cultivated extensive expertise in timekeeping through its history, leading to the creation of numerous advanced models.
The Luminor Chrono Luna Rossa embodies this brand heritage, its specialized technology, and its unmistakable Italian style. This chronograph, with its truly sporty characteristics, pays homage to the passion and talent of the sailing team "Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team."
While inheriting the distinctive features of the Luminor, this model achieves an iconic design by placing the start, stop, and reset push-buttons on the left and the crown protector on the right, enabling precise performance measurement. The blue sandwich dial and red hands are inspired by the colors of the "Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team" yacht, expressing the sporting spirit of both the Prada and Pirelli brands, and the thrilling sensation of competition.
The movement is powered by the new automatic P.9200 caliber, which supports the model's precision and accuracy, as well as the chronograph's complex functions. It is a reliable movement with a single barrel, offering a 42-hour power reserve.
This timepiece boasts 30 bar water resistance and is equipped with a strap combining fabric and rubber for quality and durability. It also includes a spare bi-material strap with a water-resistant surface and a driver for changing or removing the buckle. All elements are housed in a canvas-wrapped box featuring the Panerai and Luna Rossa logos, and will be available in a limited edition of 1000 pieces.
