A brand that has a lot to say in terms of both technical performance and design, Officine Panerai keeps on amazing the world of watch manufacturing with its brilliantly manufactured mechanisms and its innovative designs. Being established in the 1860’s in Italy, the brand is nowadays Swiss owned by the manufacturer Richemont S. A. The standards of this brand are higher than ever and its struggle to achieve the most progressive technical movements has reached its end, as many movements developed by Officine Panerai are in-house movements displaying the most amazing technical features in watch manufacturing. The smartest trends are followed, without forgetting the Officine Panerai’s distinctive features.

        A watch deserving our attention and interest is the new Officine Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days Watch, a watch that definitely presents an alternative to those watches regarded only as wrist accessories, this one being equipped with extremely useful functions. But, before we can talk about its technical performance, a few words are required in order to present its design.

        The design of the new Officine Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days Watch is quite appealing and features a case measuring 44 mm in diameter made of a combination of brushed steel and ceramics. The case is surrounded by a brushed steel bezel or if chosen by the customer, the other version featuring black ceramic. The distinctive protective device of the crown is also present, covering the crown at the 3 o’clock position. This system of protection of the movement was patented by Officine Panerai in 1956.

        The dial features the traditional functions of showing the hour, minute and second, along with a second time zone function, making of the watch the perfect instrument for travelers and business men. The second time-zone is shown in a sub-dial located at 9 o’clock, while the power reserve function is indicated above 6 o’clock, with the specification of 10 days. At three o’clock we can find the date function, every detailing on this watch being luminescent coated and contrasting the black ceramic dial. The three Arabic numerals provide a touch of elegant simplicity and add a contemporary appearance to the design of the watch.

        The new Officine Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days Watch comes equipped with an automatic mechanical movement defined as the Panerai Calibre P.2003, esclusively made by Panerai to fit this amazing timepiece. This movement supports the following functions: traditional functions of showing the hour, minute and second, a second time zone, 24 h indicator, a power reserve display and a second reset, not to mention its ability to resist 100 meters deep diving and a 240 hour of power resistance.

        The strap accompanying this new Officine Panerai Luminor 1950 10 DaysWatch is made of alligator leather and is available either on black or on dark brown. The strap offers a classy and sophisticated design to the watch, making it equal of its technical excellence.
