PANERAI LUMINOR 1950 SUBMERSIBLE CERAMICA 3 DAYS REF. PAM00508 CALIBER P.9000 (72H PR) LTD/1000 YM 2013

MOVEMENT
The P.9000 features a double barrel configuration and a bi-directional winding rotor, working in tandem to a power reserve of three days (72 hours). Also of note is the convenient system for adjusting the hour hand forward or backward in steps of one hour, at the same time also changing the date.

CASE
Upon closer inspection of the 47mm black ceramic case we see that it has a fine sandblasted finish, resulting in the uniform matte appearance of the case. The material, which is synthesized from zirconium oxide powder (Zr02); to achieve the color, a pigment highly resistant to heat is added during the production process.

CASE BACK
Turning to the back of the watch, we see a continuance of the black theme. The case back is crafted of titanium and coated in black. It features the torpedo engraved in the middle. Underneath it all lies the in-house hand-wound Panerai P.9000 caliber.

DIAL
As for the various dial elements - lettering, date window and Superluminova-coated hour markers, graduated bezel scale, and hands - we see that they are executed in a single ecru color. This provides for a nice and consistent contrast against the ceramic case.

STRAP
The strap pairing fits the watch very nicely. It is crafted of black leather, with a distressed finish. It has a trapezoidal black-titanium pin buckle (not shown).
