As the oldest international sporting event in the world, America’s Cup is still running and hardly needs an introduction. For the past 22 years, there has been fierce competition between four teams in New Zealand, the United States, Switzerland and Italy, and of course, since 2017 it is the Italian team has partnered with Panerai. Panerai’s historical ties with the Italian Navy are perfect for Italian water sports in other areas, and their Luna Rossa collection has grown to include as many as seven replica watches. The collection has been black watches with scratchy canvas dials to match the high-duty marine environment. However, the latest reference unveils a new and simplified look.
There is an air of refined adventure for those who consider sailing a relaxing hobby. The previous Panerai Luna Rossa collection models were a bit too aggressive to fit in. The new Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa brings an air of class and elegance to the collection with its big white dial and grey numerals. The 44mm Luminor case is full of pure Panerai character and is impossibly dull, while the pop of red on the small seconds subdial is particularly vibrant.
The Luna Rossa link can be seen below the pinion and the red stripes on the grey dual material strap that help keep the fake watch moving with an edge. There is also a black rubber strap. Besides that, this is a versatile Panerai that a more casual sailing enthusiast can wear in any situation. Powering the Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa is the P.9000 calibre, a hand-wound movement that vibrates at 21,600 vibrations per second and has an ample three-day power reserve. Get your hands on one now!
