haute horlogerie finish to be admired. On the back of the case are engraved
the case number, the sequential number of the watch with the number
produced annually, the material and the maximum depth of use.
The water-resistance of your watch, indicated on the back by the symbol
, is guaranteed to a pressure of 5 bar, which correspond to the
hydrostatic pressure exerted by a column of water on 1 square centimetre at
a depth of 50 metres under normal conditions. In these circumstances your
watch is therefore water-resistant to a depth of about 50 metres.

HE DIAL
The blue dial has a minimalist appearance, consisting of an alternation of
baton hour markers – double ones at 12 o'clock and single ones at 3, 6 and 9
– and dot markers. It is of sandwich type, consisting of two superimposed
plates, the upper one is perforated with baton hour markers and dots, whereas
the lower one is covered with a layer of luminous substance.
In order to ensure optimal levels of luminescence and greater resistance over
time, Panerai uses exclusively "Grade A" Swiss Super-LumiNova
this luminous substance, special high-performance pigments are used. This
allows an increase in the duration of the readability of approximately 35%
compared to standard Super-LumiNova
Small seconds at 9 o'clock, date at 3 o'clock, second time zone indicated by
the central hand and on the small 24-hour dial at 9 o'clock, linear power
reserve indicator at 6 o'clock.
