Expressing the unified look of Luna Rossa boats
Panerai has unveiled a new timepiece to celebrate the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team's success in the 37th America's Cup, recreating the striking look of the AC75 boat that competed in the fierce battle.
Automatic movement (Cal. P.900). 23 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve approximately 3 days. Stainless steel case (diameter 44mm). Water resistant to 30 bar. 1,826,000 yen (tax included). Limited to 137 pieces.
The new watch's sun-brushed silver dial is inspired by the sleek hull of an AC75 yacht. The addition of red accents recreates the uniform colors of the Luna Rossa team. The "LUNA ROSSA" lettering is also printed on the dial, creating a simple yet distinctive look.
The 44mm case is water resistant to 30 bar (300 meters) and has passed pressure tests at 1.25 times that level. It features a robust design with a sapphire crystal crystal and a lever-lock crown protector to prevent moisture and dust from entering. It also features a unidirectional rotating bezel with a black ceramic insert and a black rubber-coated crown, ensuring practicality even during intense sailing or racing.
The bi-material strap, grey with red accents, is also reminiscent of Luna Rossa, and the interchangeable system allows for the included black rubber strap to be swapped out without tools.
The movement is equipped with the Cal.P.900. It features a power reserve of approximately three days provided by a bidirectional rotor and an extremely rational design. The balance, which vibrates at 28800 vibrations per hour, is fixed with a balance cock, ensuring high reliability even in harsh environments.
Panerai CEO Jean-Marc Pontroué commented on the film as follows:
"The Reference PAM01681 is a tribute to the unwavering spirit and hard work of the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team as they bid for the 37th America's Cup. In designing this watch, we have captured the essence of the forward-thinking AC75 and translated its design language into a wearable piece that will resonate with sailing enthusiasts and watch collectors alike. Each of the 137 pieces embodies the determination of a professional sailing team, combining Italian design with Swiss engineering."
