P.9010

About the Panerai P.9010

It keeps the P.9000's architecture, two barrels for 72 hours, a rotor winding in both directions and a beat of 28,800 vph, and changes three things: the balance is held by a bridge fixed at both ends rather than a cock, the height drops to 6 mm, and the hour hand can be jumped forward or back in one-hour steps from the crown without stopping the minutes, with the date following, which is what a traveller wants. It has 31 jewels and 200 components, with a small seconds at 9 o'clock and a date at 3.

In the library it powers 44 Luminor 1950 references, including the Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic, and 21 Submersibles, the Bronzo among them. The 44 mm case accounts for 38 references, the 47 mm for 19 and the 42 mm for 8. 18 are limited editions.

The P.9000 is the 2009 movement it replaced, the P.900 the thinner automatic for the 40 mm and 42 mm cases, and the P.9100 the flyback chronograph built on the same base.
