PANERAI Luminor 1950 Sealand

Panerai celebrates the Year of Monkey with Luminor 1950 Sealand 3 Days Automatic Acciaio featuring a steel cover on the dial, intricately styled with the Monkey. The case with the engraving of the monkey, on the inside of which is a little mirror, conceals a minimalist grey dial with a small seconds counter at 9 o’clock and a date window at 3 o’clock. The cover is fitted to a Luminor 1950 case (diameter 44 mm), which is made entirely of AISI 316L stainless steel with a brushed finish, as is the lever device which protects the winding crown. The 90 pieces watch has a Panerai in-house calibre: the automatic P.9000 calibre, with a power reserve of 3 days.

In Chinese culture, the Monkey symbolises intelligence, eloquence and talent, people who are clever but also honest and charitable. The style of the engraving is a tribute to ancient Chinese astrological tradition — combined with the skills of the brand’s Italian craftsmen. Each dial cover is made entirely by hand, each one slightly different to the next.
