The new Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic for the first time has a metal bracelet with links inspired by the shape of the device which protects the winding crown, like the first bracelet created by Panerai in 1999.

The shape of each individual link recalls the “bridge” device, and each one integrates with the rest — without any screws — forming an ergonomic bracelet which is flexible on the wrist.

The bracelet is made of AISI 316L stainless steel, the same as the Luminor 1950 case.

The case is also light and slim because of the automatic P.9010 calibre, which is only 6 mm thick.

This movement is clearly visible through the wide sapphire crystal porthole set in the back.

The calibre, made entirely in the Panerai High Quality Watchmaking Manufacture in Neuchâtel, has a power reserve of three days and it is wound by a bidirectional oscillating weight.

It is fitted with the device for stopping the balance wheel when synchronizing the watch and the system for rapidly adjusting the hour hand, which can be moved forward or backwards without interfering with the running of the seconds hand.

This feature is useful when setting the time or changing time zones.

The dial of the new Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic is black, with large luminous beige markers.

The sandwich structure of the dial ensures optimum visibility at night and underwater, a feature which is part of every Panerai watch.

Water-resistance is guaranteed to 10 bar (a depth of about 100 meters) for the model with a case 42 mm in diameter (PAM00722) and to 30 bar for the 44 mm model (PAM00723).

The bracelet of the new Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic can easily be replaced with another strap thanks to the system patented by Panerai, which uses a little pushbutton under each lug, operated by using the special tool supplied. The steel strap is also available separately and it is compatible with the Luminor 1950 case of models with the P.9010 movement.
