Behind the dodecagonal, non-display caseback, you’ll find the P.9010 calibre. This ValFleurier-made movement has undergone numerous functional changes over the past few years, but now once again features all the creature comforts you’d expect from a luxury watch. The double barrels deliver a three-day power reserve; it hacks and hand-winds, and you can also quick-set the hour hand the way you would on a GMT, meaning you don’t have to stop the movement when switching time zones. To enhance shock resistance, the balance is equipped with a traversing bridge secured on both sides. Interestingly, Panerai notes that you can fully wind the watch in just 42 crown rotations, which is not something I’m used to seeing on a spec sheet.
The Luminor Marina PAM01707 retails for $15,600, and is available now.
