Panerai’s New Luminor Tre Giorni Pays Homage to Its Historical Roots
Featuring a large 47mm patina steel case.
Panerai has unveiled the PAM01628, a new Luminor Tre Giorni timepiece that marries the brand’s storied past with modern technicity.
Coming in a robust patina steel case, the reference derives its inspiration from wristwatches worn by Italian commandos during their underwater missions. A larger diameter was crucial for readability back then, which this new timepiece faithfully reinterprets with a 47mm case size.
Adorning the grey-grained and black gradient sandwich dial are luminous beige hands and hour-markets, ensuring maximum legibility even in low-light conditions. This dial construction, developed by Panerai in the late 1930s, has evolved to its current form with two superimposed plates, the lower one filled with Super-LumiNova™.
Jean-Marc Pontroué, CEO of Panerai, states, “At Panerai, our mission is to honor our rich heritage while driving forward with modern innovation. The Luminor Tre Giorni is crafted to pay tribute to the historical elements of our early watches, capturing their distinctive aesthetics and practical functionality. This timepiece embodies our ongoing commitment to blending tradition with cutting-edge watchmaking.”
At the heart of the PAM01628 is the P.3000, a manually wound movement with a three-day power reserve — viewable through the open caseback. The finishing of the P.3000 caliber is clean and utilitarian, reflecting the practical needs of the military divers who first used these reliable instruments. This new timepiece will be available via Panerai boutiques.
