In the 1930s, officine panerai was the official supplier of sophisticated, highly precise devices to the Italian navy, and these formed the seed of<br />

what would become a collection of watches designed for use in extreme and highly risky conditions. as of 1993, these bold timepieces were also<br />

made available to the public in limited editions. panerai joined the forerunner to the richemont Group in 1997, and its production of big watches<br />

took off.<br />

The new p.9000 calibre, one of three new in-house movements by panerai, is an automatic winding movement with a 72-hour power reserve<br />

and technical design akin to the brand’s existing four movements. The luminor 1950 Submersible, a new model developed to house the p.9000<br />

movement, is a 47mm titanium professional underwater timepiece. Taking its design inspiration from the details of historic dials, its features<br />

include a large bezel with stud and relief markers, and a dial with wide baton hands ($9,600).<br />
