HE CASE
The Panerai Luminor 1950 Rattrapante 8 Days Titanio - Transat Classique
2012 watch has a 47 mm case of brushed titanium. In its construction, Panerai
has made use of techniques involving many complex working operations,
which ensure an exceptional aesthetic finish and the best resistance in terms
of absorbing shocks.
To optimise the reliability of the watch over a long period, the winding crown
incorporates a special element with a threaded ring. The function of this is to
control the degree of force with which the winding crown is locked by the lever
device which protects the winding crown from shocks and accidental
breakage and helps to ensure the water-resistance of the case.
The lever itself is mounted in the bridge fixed to the case which is engraved
with the letters REG. T.M. (Registered Trademark). The lever is terminated by
a small rotating cushion-like component, which avoids wear at the end of the
lever in contact with the crown and allows the most effective setting of the
axial pressure between the two parts.
The crystal is of sapphire, made of corundum, a very hard material (second
only to diamond), free of impurities, transparent, resistant to abrasion and with
anti-reflective treatment. The start, stop and reset push-piece at 8 o'clock is
engraved with "C" for the chronograph function. The split-seconds push-
piece at 10 o'clock is engraved with "R" for rattrapante function.
The solid screw-in back is made of titanium. On the back of the case are
engraved the Panerai Transat Classique 2012 logo, the case number, the
sequential number of the watch with the number produced, the material and
the maximum depth of use.
The water-resistance of your watch, indicated on the back by the symbol
, is guaranteed to a pressure of 10 bar, which corresponds to the
hydrostatic pressure exerted by a column of water on 1 square centimetre at
a depth of 100 metres under normal conditions. In these circumstances your
watch is therefore water-resistant to a depth of about 100 metres.

THE DIAL
The black dial is the Panerai sandwich type consisting of two superimposed
plates. The upper one is perforated with 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
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
The small seconds dial is at 9 o'clock, the minute counter is at 3 o'clock and
the linear indicator of the power reserve is at 6 o'clock. There are central
chronograph and split-seconds hands.
