Panerai’s new Luminor Chrono Flyback Ceramica and Luminor Chrono Flyback Verde Militare, represent the brands legacy in the sphere of timepieces developed for marine exploits and an embrace of advanced materials and design.
They are the new entries in the Chrono Complicazioni segment of Panerai, a watch family characterised by a combination of high-tech materials, complex calibers and limited quantities. Both models will be available in limited numbers: the Luminor Chrono Flyback Ceramica will be available at both Panerai brand boutiques and independent retail partners, limited to 500 pieces, while the Luminor Chrono Flyback Verde Militare is an e-commerce exclusive, available only on Panerai.com, limited to only 110 pieces.
The matte Verde Militare dial together with the polished steel case convey an elegant attitude for the Luminor Chrono Flyback Verde Militare. Numerals and hour markers in white Super-LumiNova™ that glow green in the dark and central chronograph second- and minute-hands in orange optimise the watches with contrasting details that support the sports functions.
A monochromatic black palette defines the bold aesthetic character of the Luminor Chrono Flyback Ceramica. The matte black 44mm ceramic case and bezel are lightweight, highly scratch-resistant and retain their tactile surface and deep, saturated colour. Light glints off the sun-brushed surface of the sandwich dial in the same inky-black hue.
The P.9100 movement, an automatic caliber with a power reserve of three days, forms the engine of both watches. Thanks to the flyback function, even when operating the chronograph hands will reset and restart with one press of the pusher at eight o’clock. The same pusher returns both hands to zero once the chronograph has stopped. A nautical tachymeter scale present on the dial allows the measurement of speed, a tool that recalls the brand’s history of designing instruments for sea-orientated pursuits.
