Panerai released in 2002, a special limited issue of 1950 pieces of the emblematic Luminor based on the original dive watch that was commissioned for the Italian Navy issued back in I 936.The timepiece is powered by the in-house caliber OP XI, a manual-wind movement sporting 21,600 vibrations per hour, featuring a power reserve of 56 hours and is decorated with Côtes de Genève decoration on its bridges.
Founded in 1860 by Italian watchmaker, Giovanni Panerai in Florence, Italy, the brand known as Officine Panerai was primarily established to provide mechanical precision instruments to the Italian Ministry of Defense. In 1943, the brand introduced the Radiomir, a watch with a safety level and bridge mechanism allowing the watch to be winded while under water. The brand regained prominence in 1997, when it became a subsidiary of the Vendôme Luxury Group, a subsidiary of the Swiss conglomerate Richemont. As a market leader in producing large sized men’s wristwatches, the brand has been seen on the wrist of prominent athletes and celebrities, developing a cult-like following among watch enthusiasts that are collectively known as the Paneristis.
