Officine Panerai has
roots dating back to 1860 when the company was founded in Florence,
Italy, by Giovanni Panerai. Panerai built its solid reputation on
supplying precision timekeeping instruments to the Italian navy and
developing waterproof watches for soldiers who found themselves in
extreme environments. More recently, the company moved its headquarters
to Neuchâtel, Switzerland, where they have been producing quality
in-house manufacture movements.
This Luminor 1950 GMT 10 Days Ceramica
by Panerai is an automatic timepiece. As such, it features Panerai's
Caliber P.2003, 25 jewels, 28,800 alternations an hour, a KIF Parechoc
anti-shock device, and a terrific ten-day power reserve. The
super-durable black ceramic case measures a robust 44 mm in diameter. In
addition, the case possesses a scratch-resistant antireflective curved
sapphire crystal, a see-through smoked sapphire crystal case back, a
screw-down Panerai-personalized winding crown, and a 100 m / 10 atm
water resistance. The case rests upon a black Panerai-personalized
rubber strap with a large matte titanium buckle with hard black coating.
The black-colored dial showcases luminous hands and
markers, including large Arabic numerals at 12, 9 and 6. There is a
subsidiary seconds counter and 24-hour counter at 9 o’clock, a date
window at 3 o’clock, and a power reserve indicator above 6 o’clock.
The Panerai Luminor 1950 GMT 10 Days Ceramica is a
bold and sophisticated precision timepiece that will make a fantastic
addition to your collection, and we are pleased to offer it here at
significant savings.
