The full name of the new watch from Office Panerai is quite long: Luminor Submersible 1950 Amagnetic 3 Days Automatic Titanio. For Panerai aficionados more simply PAM00389.

The new Luminor Submersible 1950 model features a case that ensures an extremely high resistance to magnetic fields: 40,000 A/m (ampere per meter), a limit more than eight times greater than the value specified by the international standards of the Normes de l’Industrie Horlogère Suisse (NIHS 90-10).

This astonishing performance is achieved thanks to a special internal case made of soft iron of the highest purity, which encloses and isolates the movement, forming a Faraday cage that diverts the flow of magnetic fields. The soft iron case is immediately beneath the dial, which is made of the same material.

In terms of design the more evident innovation is the disc of opaque black ceramic -on which the linear and dot-shaped titanium markers are fixed- applied to the rotating titanium bezel.

As usual for dive watches, the bezel rotates only in a clockwise direction, to prevent accidental movement interfering with the measurement of the time of the dive.

Behind the quintessential black dial, with its distinctive applied linear hour markers coated with Super-LumiNova, lies the P.9000 automatic movement, executed entirely by the Officine Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel, providing a power reserve of three days.

The movement also incorporates a convenient system for setting the hour hand, which can be moved forward and backward in jumps of exactly one hour, at the same time adjusting the date display accordingly.

The size of the masculine case is 47mm.
