Special Edition Panerai Luminor 1950 Equation of Time 8 Days Acciaio on Brown Alligator Watch Strap

PAM00601 Brown Leather Watch Strap

I’ve briefly mentioned this novelty Panerai piece at the beginning of SIHH 2015 last week, but just for the appreciation of craftsmanship I’d like to revisit this special edition 2015 beauty with a little more of an in depth review.

Exuding a warm and old school look is the Luminor 1950 Equation of Time 8 Days Acciaio Special Edition on a brown leather watch band. Equipped with a hand-wound mechanical P.2002/E calibre based on Panerai’s first in house movement, anti-shock device, equation of time function, 8 day power reserve with power reserve indicator on the see through sapphire crystal back, and seconds reset, this watch is certainly something else.

As only 4 days out of the year actually contain a full 24 hours, the equation of time indicator has been designed to read the difference between mean time and true time for a most accurate evaluation of the hour. All you need to do to set this special feature is just fix the date and month.

Measuring out to a 47mm diameter case that is water resistant up to 10 bar or 330 ft., the dial features the hours, minutes, date, and month. If this watch seems generous in mass, the impressive size can be attributed to the large and impressive calibre.

Limited to 100 pieces, the Luminor 1950 Equation of Time 8 Days Acciaio is made of AISI 361L stainless steel, an alloy that is known for being particularly resistant to corrosion, and comes on an alligator watch strap.
