A technical tribute to the ability of providing long power reserve, the new Luminor Dieci Giorni GMT ceramica encases the P.2003. The long power reserve feature traces back to the 1960s when Panerai utilized a SF240 movement produced by Angelus with eight days’ power reserve and the small seconds at 9 o’clock. With a diameter of 16 lignes, this calibre was derived from a mechanism for small table alarm clocks and had 15 jewels variable inertia balance wheel that beat with 18,000 vibrations per hour and Incabloc® anti-shock device. The power reserve was so long that there was much less need for winding, thus further reducing the wear on gaskets and the possibility of water infiltration and therefore meeting the rigorous requirements of the Italian Navy commandos.
The P.2003 is the first automatic calibre developed by Panerai within its Manufacture in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. In this ecosystem, technological innovation and horological craftsmanship of the Maison is driven by the “Laboratorio di Idee”. A division of the Research & Development Department, herein all the technical projects are crafted by the skilled hands of engineers, drawing inspiration from the archives and the Italian DNA of the Brand as well as pushing boundaries while ensuring that every new creation is consistent with the unmistakable Panerai character and identity.

With a distinctive long power reserve of 10 days, displayed on the dial by a linear indicator, the P.2003 calibre is made up of 296 components with 25 jewels, measuring 13¾ lignes in diameter with a thickness of 8 mm. It has all the technical characteristics which form the DNA of the P.2000 series (free-sprung balance wheel with inertia regulation; 28,800 alternations per hour; three spring barrels; GMT function with 24-hour indication; rapid adjustment of local time; date; balance wheel stop; seconds reset device) but it is distinguished by having automatic winding with a power reserve of 10 days, operated by an oscillating weight mounted on a ball bearing, which winds the springs of the barrels as it rotates in both directions. The P.2003 calibre also has the seconds reset device which resets the seconds hand to zero, enabling the watch to be synchronized with a reference time signal. The operation of the system designed by Panerai is distinctive: when the winding crown is pulled out to the second position, a thin blade moves into contact with the balance wheel, stopping it. At the same time, a small hammer lever moves downwards and acts on a heart-shaped cam, which instantly moves the seconds hand to the zero position. As soon as the winding crown is returned to the normal position, the balance wheel is freed, the hammer lever is raised, thus releasing the cam, and the seconds hand resumes its normal course. Complementing the 10 Day Power Reserve is the GMT function that allows for the tracking of dual time zones, the quintessential complication for the most cosmopolitan of the explorers.

The PAM01483 boasts a 44mm black ceramic case and a green sun-brushed sandwich dial with white SuperLumiNova®, complemented by an open titanium DLC case back and Luminor’s distinctive iconic crown-protecting device. Giving the watch a deep and dark look, the black ceramic case is also highly scratch-resistant.

The small seconds dial hands feature a stop-second reset of the device to ensure that the second’s hand resets to zero automatically when the crown is pulled out, allowing for precise time setting.
Featuring a sapphire crystal dome, the PAM01483 in an ode to the Maison’s earlier watch designs that provides added visibility and readability of the dial. The dome’s curvature accentuates the dial’s features, adding depth and dimension to the watch’s face.

It embodies Panerai’s heritage, showcasing and dedication to transparency and excellence in watchmaking.
