Panerai: Luminor Chrono Flyback Ceramica & Verde Militare

Two forces that inspire the Panerai manufacture include an inexhaustible drive to honor an illustrious history developing instruments for generations of heroes and an urgent ambition to define the leading edge of imaginative watchmaking. 

The Luminor Chrono Flyback Ceramica and the Luminor Chrono Flyback Verde Militare are a true expression of these dual goals, representing Panerai’s legacy in the sphere of timepieces developed for marine exploits and an embrace of advanced materials and design. They are the new entries in the Chrono Complicazioni segment of Panerai, a watch family characterized by a combination of high-tech materials, complex calibers and small quantities. 

LUMINOR CHRONO FLYBACK CERAMICA

A monochromatic black palette defines the bold aesthetic character of the Luminor Chrono Flyback Ceramica. The matte black 44mm ceramic case and bezel are lightweight and highly scratch-resistant and in the same color of the sun-brushed surface of the sandwich dial in the same inky-black hue. 

LUMINOR CHRONO FLYBACK VERDE MILITARE

More captivating is the Luminor Chrono Flyback Verde Militare model with a matte Military Green dial combined with a 44mm case in polished steel. Numerals and hour markers in white Super-LumiNovaTM that glow green in the dark and central chronograph second- and minute-hands in orange optimize the watches with contrasting details that support the sports functions.

The P.9100 movement, an automatic caliber with a power reserve of three days, characterizes the engines of both watches. Thanks to the flyback function, even when operating the chronograph hands will reset and restart with one press of the pusher at eight o’clock. The same pusher returns both hands to zero once the chronograph has stopped. A nautical tachymeter scale present on the dial allows the measurement of speed, a tool that recalls the brand’s history of designing instruments for sea-centered pursuits. 

Water-resistant up to 100 meters, the Luminor Chrono Flyback Ceramica features a black alligator strap with a matte finish, a second strap in black rubber and a trapezoidal pin buckle in titanium with DLC coating, while the Luminor Chrono Flyback Verde Militare matches an alligator military green strap with tone on tone stitching, combined with a green rubber as second strap and a trapezoidal brushed steel buckle. 

Both models will be available in limited numbers: the Luminor Chrono Flyback Ceramica will be available in a limited edition of 500 pieces at Panerai boutiques and independent retail partners at the price of €. 15.500, while the Luminor Chrono Flyback Verde Militare is an e-commerce exclusive limited to 110 pieces, available only on Panerai.com a the price of €. 13.500.
