Panerai TABLE CLOCK Gebrauchsanleitung Seite 6

THE PANERAI TABLE CLOCK
Since 1860, Guido Panerai & Figlio in Florence had been producing precision
instruments with a high level of technical content, becoming a supplier to the
Royal Italian Navy.
Officine Panerai began to produce watches in 1936 with the first prototype of
the Radiomir. In the following years, several modifications were made to develop
watches which were more resistant under extreme conditions: the Radiomir
1940, with lugs formed from the same block of the case, and the Luminor 1950,
with the innovative device protecting the crown were born.
In 1993, Officine Panerai presented for the first time a collection for the civilian
public, thus becoming one of the undisputed leaders in the haute horlogerie
sports sector.
The Panerai mechanical table clock is fitted with an in-house movement with
a 8-day power reserve, completely created by Panerai in its Manufacture of
Neuchâtel. The P.5000 movement structure is visible through the mineral glass
on the back of the sphere.
The particular design of the clock handle is inspired by the nautical shackle to
recall the link between the brand and the sea, while the creativity of the dial
vary according to the model. The Panerai Table Clock is available with the
"Radiomir Panerai 8 Days" engraving on the dial, as well as with the particular
S.L.C and California designs.
The clock is supplied with a special stainless steel table stand, personalized
Panerai.

HE ASE
The Panerai Table Clock has a case of 65 mm made of AISI 316L steel and
spherical mineral glass.
AISI 316L stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion. The Panerai
8
watches created for the Italian Navy were made of austenitic stainless steel,
a solid, reliable material, which was also resistant to the extreme
environmental conditions in which the commandos operated. Officine
Panerai uses the low-carbon variant of the AISI 316L alloy: the lower
amount of carbon improves its welding qualities.
THE DIAL
The dial is the Panerai sandwich type, consisting of two superimposed
plates. The upper one is perforated with numerals and hour markers, while
the lower one is covered with a layer of luminous substance.
In order to ensure optimal levels of luminescence and greater resistance
over time, Panerai uses exclusively "Grade A" Swiss Super-LumiNova
To produce this luminous substance, special high-performance pigments
are used. This provides an increase in the duration of readability of
approximately 35% compared to standard Super-LumiNova
