Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the chronograph pusher placement unique?

Unlike conventional chronographs with pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock, the Luminor Chrono positions them at 8 and 10 o’clock on the left side of the case. This innovative arrangement preserves Panerai’s signature crown-protecting bridge on the right side while adding chronograph functionality, creating a distinctive asymmetrical balance that sets it apart from traditional chronograph designs.

What is the sandwich dial construction?

Panerai’s sandwich dial consists of two superimposed plates: a lower plate coated with Super-LumiNova and an upper plate with cut-out indices and numerals. This construction creates exceptional depth and luminosity, as the luminescent material shines through the openings in the upper dial, enhancing legibility in low-light conditions while adding visual dimension.

How does the Calibre P.9200 movement perform?

The Calibre P.9200 is an automatic chronograph movement offering reliable precision and a 42-hour power reserve. Its self-winding mechanism eliminates the need for daily manual winding, while the column wheel chronograph system ensures smooth pusher operation and precise timing functionality. The movement combines Swiss watchmaking expertise with Italian design sensibility.

Is this watch suitable for water activities?

With 100 meters (10 bar) water resistance, the Luminor Chrono is suitable for swimming and snorkelling, though not for deep diving. The screw-down caseback and robust construction ensure protection against water ingress during everyday activities and light water sports. The crown-protecting device adds an additional layer of security.

What is the history behind the Luminor design?

The Luminor design originated in the 1950s for the Italian Navy’s elite frogman unit, with the crown-protecting device patented to ensure water resistance during underwater missions. The cushion-shaped case and highly legible dial were developed specifically for underwater visibility in challenging conditions. Today’s Luminor models maintain these distinctive design elements while incorporating modern materials and movements.

How versatile is the 44mm case size?

While substantial in presence, the 44mm case is a signature element of Panerai’s design language. The cushion shape and short lugs allow it to wear comfortably on a range of wrist sizes, while providing the bold aesthetic that Panerai enthusiasts appreciate. The included strap options further enhance versatility, allowing the watch to transition between casual and more formal settings.
