Two new models from the collaboration between Panerai and Luna Rossa have been released.
Panerai has announced two new collaboration models with the yacht team Luna Rossa for the 38th America's Cup: the "Luminor Luna Rossa Chrono" Ref. PAM01768 and the "Luminor Luna Rossa GMT" Ref. PAM01791. The theme color for both models is a silver dial with red, the signature color of Luna Rossa, used as an accent color.
With less than a year to go until the 38th America's Cup in Naples in 2027, a heated qualifying series is underway this year. Panerai has announced that it will continue its partnership with Luna Rossa as an official sponsor, supporting the team on their quest to win the trophy. Since 2019, Panerai has been releasing timepieces to support Luna Rossa, and the two models announced this time are the latest additions to that collection.
Luminor Luna Rossa Chrono Ref. PAM01768
Panerai views its partnership with Luna Rossa not merely as a collaboration, but as a journey toward the future of high-performance watchmaking, celebrating the team's courage and technology while also using it as a practical test of watches in open ocean conditions. Over the eight-year partnership, Luna Rossa has provided a wealth of feedback, which is incorporated into this latest model.
The Luminor Luna Rossa Chrono Ref. PAM01768 is a model that adheres to Panerai's design codes, featuring a 44mm diameter stainless steel case equipped with a chronograph seconds hand and a 30-minute counter. The bezel is engraved with a tachymeter, a feature that allows yacht crews to calculate the average speed of their vessel. The dial is silver with a sunray brushed finish, accented with red chronograph seconds hands, counter hands, and pushers. This model also comes with a gray textile strap with red stripes and a spare black rubber strap.
Automatic movement (Cal. P.9210). 41 jewels. 28,800 vibrations/hour. Power reserve approximately 42 hours. Stainless steel case (44mm diameter). 100m water resistance. 1,716,000 yen (tax included).
Luminor Luna Rossa GMT Ref. PAM01791
The Luminor Luna Rossa GMT Ref. PAM01791 is a GMT display model featuring a silver and red color scheme. The case has a diameter of 40mm, making it relatively compact for a Panerai. It is powered by the automatic Cal. P.900/GMT movement. The GMT hand displays 12-hour time, a return to tradition reminiscent of early models developed in the early 2000s. The GMT function is particularly useful for users who need to track multiple time zones for remote meetings across time zones, racing, or broader schedule management.
The dial also features a sunray brushed silver finish, with a snail-finished small seconds subdial at the 9 o'clock position. The GMT hand, an iconic feature of this model, is positioned at the center. Red is used for both the small seconds and GMT hands, representing the connection to Luna Rossa.
Furthermore, this model is the first in the Luna Rossa collection to feature a metal bracelet. With its compact silhouette, it is positioned as a new expression of the collaborative spirit that will be useful in a variety of situations, and it is expected that its scope of use will expand even further as the collection grows.
Automatic winding (Cal.900/GMT). 23 jewels. 28,800 vibrations/hour. Power reserve approximately 72 hours. Stainless steel case (40mm diameter). 100m water resistance. 1,705,000 yen (tax included).
