Panerai Luminor Quaranta BiTempo Luna Rossa PAM01404 Watch

Founded in 1860 at Ponte alle Grazie in Florence, Giovanni Panerai established more than a watch shop — he created the city’s first watchmaking school, laying the foundation for what would become Officine Panerai. By the 1920s, the boutique had moved to the Archbishop’s Palace beside the Florence Cathedral, under the name “Orologeria Svizzera,” a symbol of horological excellence for over a century. In 1949, Panerai registered Luminor, redefining luminescence with a safer, tritium-based innovation. Over time, Luminor became the unmistakable signature of the Maison’s diving timepieces, distinguished by the iconic patented crown-protection device. A new chapter began in 2002 with the opening of the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel — where Swiss precision, Italian design, and relentless research unite in the pursuit of technical mastery. The Luminor Quaranta BiTempo Luna Rossa combines sporting performance with refined functionality. Its blue sun-brushed dial features luminous Arabic numerals and hour markers, a GMT 12-hour function, date at 3 o’clock, and small seconds at 9 o’clock for intuitive legibility. Powered by the automatic P.900/GMT calibre with a 3-day power reserve and Incabloc® anti-shock protection, it ensures reliability in motion. Water resistant to 100 metres, it is completed by a dark blue bi-material rubber and textile Luna Rossa strap with PAM Click Release System™. Panerai offers an international warranty of two years, extendable to additional six years through online registration.
