Luminor 1950 Perpetual Calendar Platinumtech

In Context

At 44 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 50 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 72 hours of reserve puts it well past a weekend — several days off the wrist and it is still going. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

PAM 1575 is one of 7 executions of the PAM base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a blue gloss dial and a platinum case. Beyond the time it carries a perpetual calendar.

Self-winding (micro-rotor) movement with perpetual calendar. Indicators for the month, power reserve, year on the case back.
