SIHH 2015 - Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech 3 Days Automatic - 47mm PAM00616 (specs & price) - Monochrome-Watches
Panerai's roots are military, supplying diving watches to the Italian military during WWII. From this year's Mare Nostrum to last year's chronographs like the Radiomir 1940, the company extends the utility of its DNA into high-end watches. This year's Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech 3 Days Automatic, a mouthful to say, is no exception. The Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Day models are identifiable by the peg markings on the uni-directional bezel, which is based on a 1956 design made for the Egyptian Navy. Other models come in Titanium, and this year introduces the composite material Carbotech, which not only reduces the weight of the 47mm watch, but also makes each one unique.No two Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech?watches look the same because the Carbotech process produces varying aesthetic results.
