Introducing the Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 42mm Watch Replica

While 2020 may be a relatively quiet year in the world of yacht racing, with the cancellation of numerous races around the world, the sport has been a notable year for establishing partnerships in high-end luxury watches. The latest of these comes from Panerai, which has renewed its partnership with the renowned Italian sailing team Luna Rossa ahead of the 2021 America's Cup. To commemorate this ongoing partnership, Panerai has unveiled a new limited edition Luminor GMT model, decorated in the team's signature colours and featuring dramatic material changes. The new Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 42mm limited edition watch replica PAM01096 offers every buyer a true look and feel, incorporating the team's most advanced yacht into the architecture.

Novel ScafotechTM

With its rigorous technical and aesthetic specifications, the new Luminor Luna Rossa replica elevates the already lofty reputation of a revered collection with the addition of a novel material: ScafotechTM. The innovative and sustainable composite is made from carbon fibre residue collected from the hull and hydrofoils of the Italian team’s AC75 yacht. It has been recycled and forged into a high-tech polymer for use as the watch dial.

A material, ScafotechTM endows each watch case with a singular appearance resulting from its variegated texture. The same quality is shared with CarbotechTM, the substance that composes the bezel, an advanced formula developed within the creative incubator of the Panerai Laboratorio di Idee. lightness, along with resistance to stress and corrosion, prepares Luminor Luna Rossa GMT – 42 mm for extreme conditions, no matter how extraordinary.

Iconic Luminor Cushion Case

The 42mm case of the new Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa GMT replica follows the iconic Luminor cushion case shape, with its short straight lugs and prominent locking crown guard, while diverting from tradition in terms of materials. The main body of the case is made from sandblasted titanium for a dark matte look, while the smooth bezel uses Panerai’s exclusive Carbotech carbon composite material. This swirling striated material is just low-profile enough not to draw attention to itself at first glance but adds a purposeful high-tech ethos to the design on closer inspection. Panerai finishes this case with a special engraved titanium caseback, featuring etchings of both the America’s Cup trophy and Luna Rossa’s innovative AC75 racing yacht. If the case of the Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 42mm is quiet about its use of carbon composites, the dial is allowed to shout about it.

Sandwich Dial

The iconic Panerai sandwich dial surface is made here out of a material the brand calls Scafotech, a carbon fiber composite made from pieces of the Luna Rossa AC75 yacht’s hull and hydrofoils. The result is a marbled, random black pattern reminiscent of the carbon brakes on a modern race car, with a dynamic and masculine look that displays differently on each example’s dial. Outside of this innovative material, the dial design of the Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 42mm replica is more or less the same as a standard Luminor GMT model, save for some unique dial text at 6 o’clock. Luna Rossa’s signature vibrant red tone is used judiciously as an accent here, creating visual highlights for both the 9 o’clock small seconds subdial and the 12 hour GMT hand that play dramatically off the blacks and grays of the dial.

P9010/GMT Movement

Inside the Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 42mm replica is the brand’s in-house automatic P9010/GMT movement, with a 28,800 bph beat rate and a hefty 72 hour power reserve. Panerai finishes this model off with a clean black alligator leather strap. While this is a fine and versatile option, it feels a touch too dressy for the technical showcase of the case and dial, and a rubber strap may have been more appropriate.

Black Alligator Leather Strap

The Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 42 mm replica, which is water-resistant up to 10 bar (about 100 meters deep), features a black alligator leather strap with tone-on-tone stitching and a titanium trapezoidal pin buckle. A second black rubber strap is also included, along with a tool to change the straps, a screwdriver for removing the buckle and a box wrapped in personalized Panerai and Luna Rossa sailcloth.
