Description
The 44 mm Luminor design, imposing even on larger wrists, is one of the real classics of watch design. And though Panerai designs indeed have a tendency to polarize, this is the one that the company built its modern brand upon. The case is a large, thick cushion that frames a round bezel. On the right hand side of the case is a trademarked crown guard that can be opened and closed to move the crown between positions. This, as much as oversized cases and luminous sandwich dials, has come to define Panerai in the popular imagination.
With the introduction of the new in-house Caliber P.6000, which hails from the company’s Neuchatel manufacture, Panerai is endowing its entry level 44mm sports watch, the Luminor Base Logo, with a manufacture movement, bringing an end to the use of the ETA Unitas-based calibers that were once widespread in the collection. The Caliber P.6000, which provides 3 days of running autonomy per wind, is the final puzzle piece in a strategy that Panerai has followed toward nearly full vertical integration regarding movements.
The Luminor Base Logo comes in two dial styles: a black-dialed version with luminous hands, numerals and indexes; and a white version with luminous hands, non-luminous Arabic numerals, and luminous hour markers at the periphery of the dial.
