The Panerai Luminor 1950 collection is the major retro-themed part of the company’s product line. Here, the look is enhanced with a thoroughly modern movement being expressed on a simple and well laid-out dial. This is the Panerai Luminor 1950 8 Days Rattrapante Watch ref. PAM00319. Inside the watch is one of Panerai’s exclusive in-house made movements, the Caliber P.2006/3 which is manually-wound with an 8 day power reserve (via three barrels). The 356 part movement also features a linear power reserve indicator, a column wheel based split second 30 minute chronograph (rattrapante), and the time with a subsidiary seconds dial. Like all Panerai watches, the dial is characterized by simple green lume (for the 1950 line) against a matte black dial. The lume is characteristically set on its own layer with the stenciled black dials placed on it. Pushers for the chronograph are on the left side of the 18k pink gold case that is 47mm wide done with a brushed finish and water resistant to 100 meters. Having a split second chronograph, the watch has two chronograph seconds hands which are placed in the “chop sticks” position pointing down for symmetry on the main dial. Through the rear of the watch’s sapphire caseback window you can view the P.2006/3 movement that is very well laid out – made for visual admiration. There you can see the chronograph column wheel, the balance spring, and part of the winding mechanism. In all, the Luminor 1950 8 Days Rattrapante is a nicely done watch with a quality movement done by Panerai and will come in a limited edition of just 300 pieces.
