Detailed Features & Upgrades
-
The Dandong P.9010 Engine: This custom automatic mechanical movement operates as a true 1:1 architectural clone, entirely omitting non-functional decorative overlay plates to preserve structural integrity. It features a fully functional independent jumping hour hand configuration, allowing the user to seamlessly adjust the local time hour forward or backward without stopping the balance wheel or disrupting the running minutes and seconds.
-
The Green Sunburst Sandwich Dial: The dial utilizes the classic Panerai “sandwich” construction, featuring a top layer with a deep olive green sunray brushed finish. The cut-out numerals and indices reveal a lower disc densely filled with premium beige Swiss-grade Super-LumiNova. This is perfectly accented by a rare set of thermally blued steel hands, providing exceptional contrast and low-light legibility.
-
Polished Casing & Lever-Lock Guard: The substantial 44mm cushion case is meticulously milled from 316L stainless steel and finished with a flawless mirror polish across all surfaces to emulate the luxurious sheen of platinum. It features the signature trademarked lever-locking crown protection guard (engraved with REG. T.M.), precisely tensioned to apply uniform pressure against the winding stem gasket for consistent sealing and durability.
-
Premium Leather Strap Configuration: The timepiece is fitted with a classic brown leather strap featuring vintage-style ecru stitching, staying true to Panerai’s maritime heritage. The strap is secured via a polished stainless steel trapezoidal tang buckle for optimal wearing comfort and security.
