HE CASE
The Panerai Lo Scienziato - Radiomir 1940 Tourbillon GMT Oro Rosso watch
has a case of 48 mm made of 18 ct. polished red gold.
Red gold is an alloy consisting of gold, copper and other metals, ideal for use
in haute horlogerie on account of its excellent technical properties and elegant
colour. The proportion of gold is 75% (18 carats), and other elements are
added to it in varying proportions. The red gold used by Officine Panerai is
5Npt; this is a special alloy with an unusually high percentage of copper, which
gives great depth to the colour, together with a quantity of platinum, which
contributes to reducing the oxidation of the metal.
The case is made using manufacturing techniques involving many complex
operations which ensure a remarkable aesthetic finish and at the same time
great resistance in terms of water and shock-resistance. The screw-down
crown has a cylindrical shape and is personalised Panerai.
The name of the watch “Lo Scienziato” is engraved on the rehaut at 6 o’clock.
The screw back has a sapphire crystal window, for the movement and its
haute horlogerie finish to be admired. On the back of the case are engraved
the sequential number of the watch with the number produced, the material
and the maximum depth of use.
The water-resistance of your watch, indicated on the back by the symbol
, is guaranteed to a pressure of 5 bar, which corresponds to the
hydrostatic pressure exerted by a column of water on 1 square centimetre at
a depth of 50 metres under normal conditions. In these circumstances your
watch is therefore water-resistant to a depth of about 50 metres.
T
HE DIAL
The dial is a skeletonized, with Arabic numerals and hour markers.
In order to ensure optimal levels of luminescence and greater resistance over
time, Panerai uses exclusively “Grade A” Swiss Super-LumiNova
® . To produce
this luminous substance, special high-performance pigments are used. This
allows an increase in the duration of the readability of approximately 35%
