DESCRIPTION

  • Luminor 1950 Chrono Monopulsante 8 Days GMT

    Innovative yet at the same time traditional, with an advanced mechanical movement and a “getup” which for years has stood out for its originality and functionality, executed in a very light, very strong hypo-allergenic metal. This is the new Luminor 1950 Crono Monopulsante in Titanium, the new chronograph from Officine Panerai which is part of the Manufacture Collection. It is distinguished by an exclusive, sophisticated mechanical movement housed in the traditional Luminor 1950 case, 44 mm in diameter. Executed in Grade 5 titanium, the most difficult alloy to mould and finish, it is being produced in a millesimed edition. The watch stands out among the current panorama of sports chronographs with its avant-garde technical characteristics and its proverbial qualities of reliability and water-resistance, as well as for its lightness.

    The movement, the P.2004, is the first chronograph calibre completely designed and executed by Officine Panerai in its own manufacture at Neuchâtel and it incorporates a series of important details and innovations. These include manual winding with a power reserve of eight days; linear indication of the power reserve remaining; a second time zone with day/night indication; stop-seconds device for exact synchronisation; and a single-button chronograph with column wheel and friction clutch.

    Visible through the transparent back in sapphire crystal, the movement consists of 321 components, but it reveals only some of its originality with its large brushed-finish bridges, chamfered and polished angles and mirror-polished screws. In fact its most outstanding characteristics are concealed within it. Thanks to its three superimposed spring barrels, the watch is capable of developing the constant force required to ensure accurate timekeeping and the operation of all the additional functions for eight consecutive days. In addition, the indication of power reserve remaining is displayed in an original manner by means of an indicator which moves horizontally across a little window situated above the 6 o’clock position and calibrated from 0 to 8.

    Of the various functions of the watch, the one that stands out most from the rest is that of the chronograph. This does not have two push-buttons, like the majority of other models in production, but just a single one which, pressed in sequence, controls the starting, stopping and zeroing of the central hand. Using a column wheel, the element which is characteristic of the most sophisticated movements because it provides the greatest precision of operation in activating the hand, the chronograph function of the calibre P.2004 is operated through a friction clutch. This is another important detail, because the device contributes substantially to the avoidance of uncertainty in the movement of the hand. The minute counter (at 3 o’clock) has been designed to avoid any confusion in reading what it indicates; it does not move slowly and continuously but instantaneously, that is, it jumps one position as it is released on exactly the 60th second of each minute.
     
    The balance oscillates at 28,800 alternations/hour (equivalent to 4 Hz) and is fitted with adjustment screws. The calibre P.2004 has 29 jewels, measures 16 lignes in diameter and is fitted with a stop-seconds device: when the winding crown is pulled out, this instantly zeroes the small seconds hand which stops and does not start moving again until the winding crown is returned to its normal position, thus enabling the watch to be synchronised to the exact second, for example with a time signal.

    Another very important and useful function is the second time zone, which in the Luminor 1950 Crono Monopulsante in Titanium is classically displayed by a second central hand tipped with an arrow point. This hand, which like the hour hand is adjusted by turning the crown, rotates once in 12 hours. But how does one know whether the hour indicated is during the day or the night' Is it 5 am or 5 pm, given that there are 24 hours in the day' To supply this useful further information there is a little triangular hand, coaxial with the small continuous seconds leaf hand in the subsidiary dial at 3 o’clock, which as it rotates moves from the sector “pm” to “am”, thus indicating whether the time in the second time zone is during the day (am = ante meridiem, before midday) or the night (pm = post meridiem, after midday).

    New too is the colour of the dial which no longer has a black background but an elegant dark brown one. It still has the traditional sandwich construction designed by Panerai in the 1930s; this consists of two thin plates, between which the self-luminous substance Super Luminova is contained, to supply the maximum visibility at night. Unchanged are the dial markings for which the first military models were renowned, being unmatched for ease of reading under any conditions: large Arabic numerals and baton hour markers pierced through the upper plate, all highly luminous.
     
    The case is 44 mm in diameter and is executed in Grade 2 titanium. As well as being extremely light and also highly resistant to corrosion, Grade 2 titanium has enabled the case to be finished in two ways, thus maintaining all the aesthetic characteristics of the Luminor 1950: a brushed finish for the caseband and the bridge of the lever device locking the crown, and on the other hand a mirror-polished surface for the bezel which is made using grade 5 titanium. Water-resistant to 100 metres, a peculiarity of the watch is that the single chronograph push-piece is on the left; this position has been chosen so as not to alter the outline of the case dominated by the lever bridge, as well as to facilitate the operation of the chronograph with the right hand. But the case of the Luminor 1950 Crono Monopulsante in Titanium has a further unusual feature, the system for attaching the strap. The bar which supports the strap is released from the strap attachments by a little push-button which is operated by the special tool supplied in the presentation box of the watch. This makes replacing the strap itself a very quick operation.

    Identified by the reference PAM00311, the new Officine Panerai chronograph has a brown crocodile strap with a titanium buckle and is supplied with a second strap and the special tool for replacing it.
