The collection of Panerai Luminor watches has greatly contributed to the brand's worldwide fame. Among Luminor watches you will discover numerous uniquely designed timepieces equipped with useful functions.
Luminor's History - The Name's Origin
The name of highly demanded Luminor watches was initially used for calling the luminous substance created and patented by Panerai in 1949. The substance was used for covering the brand's watches' parts.
First Luminor Models
Having gained rich experience in producing timekeeping devices exclusively for the Royal Italian Navy, in 1993, Panerai launched a limited edition of Luminor and Luminor Marina watches aimed to be worn on the wrists of the general public.
In 1998 Panerai presented to the horology world its first timepieces equipped with its own automatic mechanical movements. These were the Luminor Submersible developed for professional divers, Luminor GMT indicating a second time zone and Luminor Power Reserve.
Steps Forward
In 1999, the House of Panerai made a few significant steps forward. The brand's specialists elaborated an exclusive design of the case for the Luminor chronograph model. They successfully integrated the push-pieces into the device necessary for the crown protection.
Innovative Luminor models maintained the matchless aesthetic appeal of the line. For the first time there was created a Panerai watch, the Panerai Luminor Chrono, with the case and bracelet parts produced from a titanium-steel combination.
The following year, in 2000, the brand launched the Luminor Submersible 1000 meters. It was developed as a professional diver's timepiece that boasted amazing 1000-meters water-resistance.
Panerai Luminor Submersible
Panerai Luminor Submersible watches are crafted in either stainless steel or titanium. The watch is based upon the initial timepieces that appeared in the mid 1950s. They were commissioned by the Egyptian Navy.
Distinctive Features
To distinguish a Luminor Submersible from a rich selection of other Panerai timepieces, pay attention to its uni-directional rotating bezel. On the matte black dial of the Luminor Submersible watch you will notice a small seconds hand at 9 o'clock and a date window with magnifier at 3 o'clock.
The dial also sports originally-styled hour and minute hands with tritium-treated tips. There are two oversized Arabic numerals - 6 and 12, and big round markers for other hours.
Both the Luminor Submersible watch case and the bezel catch attention due to perfect finishing. All parts of the timepiece are produced from titanium, including the strap buckle, only with the exception of the stainless steel strap screws and screw-in back. You will notice one more distinctive feature of the Luminor Submersible - it reveals an eye-catching shroud over the crown and the lever necessary for sealing the crown.
The Luminor Submersible is equipped with the automatic Valjoux 7750 movement. It guarantees a 42-hour power reserve.
As for the case size of the Luminor Submersible, it measures 44 mm in diameter - so it is quite a huge timepiece for a big masculine wrist. It should be mentioned that the oversized timepiece is not heavy at all.
