In the run-up to the 37th America’s Cup set in Barcelona, Panerai reaffirms its commitment as the Official Sponsor, joining forces with Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team for the second consecutive edition.
Submersible Luna Rossa Carbotech™ PAM01563
Limited to a mere 37 pieces in ode to the 37th America’s Cup, the Submersible Luna Rossa Carbotech™ symbolizes technical watchmaking. This timepiece adorns the wrist of the Skipper and Team Director Max Sirena, during the races in the quest to the sporting final and is an e-commerce exclusive that will be available for 24 hours on September 5th 2024. Panerai’s capsule timepiece initiative offers unique watches available for only 24 hours, and has consistently seen high demand, resulting in all pieces being sold out, making them sought-after items among collectors.
Echoing the pioneering spirit of the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli sailing team, the watch’s case, the rotating bezel, and the lever bridge that protects the winding crown are made of Carbotech™. Notably lighter than titanium and ceramic, Carbotech™ shines in resistance to external forces and corrosion. The screwed case back, which helps to ensure the watch’s high degree of water resistance, is made of titanium with black DLC treatment, and it is engraved with the image of a Slow Speed Torpedo, the notorious “pig” on which the commandos of the Italian Navy sailed through the depths of the sea on their missions while wearing instruments made by Panerai, in the 1940s.

At the heart of PAM01563 is the automatic P.900 movement, with a 3-day power reserve. It measures 12½ lignes (28mm) in diameter and is only 4.2 mm thick. The energy necessary to accumulate a power reserve of three days is delivered by a bidirectional oscillating weight and stored in a single barrel. Its balance wheel, oscillating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, is securely fixed in position by a balance cock. The caliber is equipped with a stop-second function that enables precise time setting.

The bezel rotates only counterclockwise, allowing for the calculation of immersion time – a crucial feature for an underwater instrument. Water resistant up to 50 bar (~500 meters), this watch has been rigorously tested, subjecting it to a pressure up to 25% greater than the guaranteed water resistance value to ensure it meets Panerai’s stringent standards.
The watch’s technical set-up is complemented by its design, featuring a blue sun-brushed dial with a small red seconds hand. The first bi-material strap features a striking red stripe with the words Luna Rossa in white against a blue backdrop, while the second rubber strap boasts a uniform blue tone.
