Luminor 1950 Left-Handed 8 Days Titanio

In Context

At 47 mm this is exceptionally large for something worn on a wrist, closer to a pocket watch given lugs. 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. 100 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 192 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.

PAM00368 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a brown dial with a titanium case. It was a limited edition.

Hand-wound mechanical, executed entirely by Panerai, 13¾ lignes, 6,6 mm thick, 23 jewels, Glucydur® balance, 28.800 alternations/hour. Power reserve 8 days with indicator on the back, three barrels, seconds reset device, date. 246 components.
