Panerai Luna Rossa: a successful partnership
Sport has an ancient and consolidated bond with watches. Over the years, brands have pursued perfection in performance to ensure that these objects could support athletes’ performance and often be reliable aids. But can Rolex Submariner Replica a specific brand gain the limelight,
like a competing athlete? Yes, it can and that is what has happened and is happening to the successful Panerai Luna Rossa partnership.
The new collaboration between the Florentine brand and the Italian sailing team, stipulated in 2019, is now reaching its peak of visibility. The reason? It is easy to say,
the victory that has been talked about for days and of which the Italians are very proud. Luna Rossa deservedly won the Prada Cup, closing the series 7-1 against Britannia, entering the final where it will challenge the reigning champions of Team New Zealand to win the America’s Cup 2021.
A decidedly tough final,
to be played in a challenge on the last turn. A challenge that,
moreover, will have such a media coverage as to attract the spotlight of the whole world, even more on the challengers, who will appear as David who is preparing to face Goliath.
The visibility of this event will inevitably have positive commercial and image implications for Panerai as well. The brand will continue to camp on the sail of the Luna Rossa team boat, to compete to earn its cup in the world of watches, fighting against the opponent Omega, official timekeeper and sponsor of Emirates Team New Zealand.
Panerai sponsors Luna Rossa
The partnership between Panerai and Luna Rossa is a partnership that sees two related worlds fit together perfectly,
and unite thanks to a common denominator: the challenge for technical excellence.
Just like the very fast boat (as it emerged during the Prada Cup),
Panerai has been aiming for years to excel in the sports luxury segment. On the market for over 150 years, it has been building some of the most robust and precise watches,
thanks to years of movements entirely conceived and produced in Neuchâtel, where the research and development department is based.
Sponsor Luna Rossa of America’s Cup 2021, has dedicated an exclusive collection to this partnership, for which he drew inspiration from the boat and the crew he will continue to accompany in this challenge.
In fact, the five new models that we list are inspired by the full-foiling monohull AC75,
from which we have selected some.
- Submersible Luna Rossa 47 mm
- Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 44mm
- Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 42 mm
- Luminor Luna Rossa Chrono Flyback 44mm
- Luminor Luna Rossa Regatta 47 mm
Design and design that reinvent the concepts of speed, agility, reliability, advanced materials in a watch. Essential qualities to face this challenge that characterize the fruitful Panerai Luna Rossa combination. Let’s take the first two on the list for example.
Panerai Submersible Luna Rossa
It is a professional diving watch with a rating of up to 300 meters deep, with a strong character. The material it is made of is a Panerai gem,
launched in 2015 with the reference PAM 616: Carbotech ™. It is an absolutely innovative material,
designed for optimal performance both from an aesthetic and functional point of view.
Its resistance is the direct result of the method by which it is obtained:
through the compression of thin sheets of fiber combined a high-end polymer (PEEK),
necessary to create the composite material after being subjected to controlled temperature and high pressure.
Functions and characteristics
The functions are limited to those of a standard watch with the addition of the GMT complication:
Don’t miss the opportunity to learn all about the replica watch replicawatches.cc
counting hours, minutes, small seconds, date and GMT,
regulated by a self-winding mechanical movement, the P9010 / GMT with maximum autonomy of three days , fully charged.
The unidirectional rotating bezel with graduated scale frames a dial that is a treat for those who love watches as much as sailing:
the structure of the dial contains parts of Luna Rossa’s sail. The architecture is the classic one of the Panerai, with the date positioned at three o’clock,
small seconds at nine o’clock,
while for the tone of the quadarnte a dark sail gray has been identified with baton and buckshot indexes filled with luminescent material.
The case back is in titanium, screw-locked and with black coating,
while the case measures 47 mm and features a black rubber strap, with classic accordion motif.
Panerai Submersible Luna Rossa price
With a list price of 21,000 Euros, this model is the second most expensive in the collection.
Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 44 mm
The Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 44 mm carries the same concepts expressed by the previous model within the 44 mm case of the automatic Luminor, again adopting an original and Luna Rossa-inspired texture on the dial.
Again, Panerai made use of special materials and surface treatments, although not a carbon fiber composite as in the case of the Submersible.
Functions and characteristics
The material used is DLC treated titanium,
which as known guarantees good resistance to shocks and scratches.
With the calendar at 3 o’clock and the small seconds at 9 o’clock,
the 44mm dial exhibits a similar effect to what is expected on the Submersible. The bezel is also made of titanium,
as is the screw back covered entirely in black and on which the majestic engraving of the boat of which this Panerai collection bears the name,
also common to the other models in the collection,
stands out.
The movement of the watch is mechanical,
with automatic winding that can last up to 3 days. It is the same P9010 / GMT caliber mounted by its cousin with Carbotech ™ case.
Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 44mm price
The list price of this model is 10,900 euros.
