PANERAI LUMINOR BASE
The Panerai Luminor Base is a watch executed in a limited edition dedicated
to the boutiques. It is equipped with a high quality Swiss hand-wound
mechanical movement.
T
HE CASE
The case, obtained from a single block of metal, is made completely of AISI
316L stainless steel. Its manufacture involves a complex range of processes.
Starting from the initial block roughly shaped by stamping, a total of more than
60 further production processes take place before the finished product is
achieved. A series of quality checks carried out with highly sophisticated
instruments ensures the watch’s exceptional resistance and accuracy.
The anti-reflective crystal is of sapphire, made from corundum, which is the
toughest material after diamond. Without any impurities, it is completely
transparent and virtually scratch-proof. The gently cambered crystal ensures
that the dial is completely visible and guarantees resistance at great depths.
The back, screwed to the case, is made of steel and is personalised with an
image of the city where the boutique is located. It bears the engraved number
of the case, the individual sequential identification number with the number of
the edition, the material and the maximum depth of operation.
The water-resistance of your watch is guaranteed to a pressure of 30 bar,
which correspond to the hydrostatic pressure exerted by a column of water on
1 square centimetre at a depth of 300 metres under normal conditions. In
these circumstances your watch is therefore water-resistant to a depth of
about 300 metres.
T
HE DEVICE PROTECTING THE CROWN (protected by trademark)
It protects the winding crown from shocks and accidental damage while also
helping to preserve water-resistance by locking the winding crown in its
17
closed position. The little sprung lever mounted on the bridge fixed to the case
brings axial pressure to bear on the rubber ring of the winding crown without
damaging it, thus forming a perfect seal.
T
HE MOVEMENT
The movement of the Luminor Base is the calibre OP I. It is an hand-wound
mechanical movement of 16½ lignes with power reserve of 56 hours, 17
