Panerai has debuted a new version of its ‘Luminor Luna Rossa’ in celebration of a long-standing partnership between the brand and the Team Luna Rossa sailing team. The brands first partnered in 2017, with Panerai "lending support to the team and taking inspiration from Luna Rossa sailing technology to create watches."
The ‘Luminor’ boasts a white dial designed with gray ‘Super-LumiNova,’ in addition to a tiny red seconds hand, Luna Rossa branding, and ‘Luminor Panera’ written in text. The watch uses a P.6000 hand-wound power source, hacking seconds movement, and three-day battery life.
A complete list of features for the ‘Luminor Luna Rossa’ is available now via Panerai, in addition to information on how to purchase the special edition timepiece.
