Keeping up with the previous special edition Luminor Sealand models, Officine Panerai has released the new PAM850 44mm Luminor 1950 Year of the Monkey Sealand. The PAM850 is a special edition of 99 pieces that is part of the Chinese Zodiac series. The new Sealand is number 8 in the exclusive series that was started in 2009 with the year of the Ox model.
As with all the other models in the series, the new Luminor 1950 Sealand has a beautiful engraving on the steel cover of the dial. Each cover is hand made by Italian craftsman using a style that pays tribute to ancient Chinese tradition. The dial is initially engraved with a special tool called a “sparsello”, then threads of gold are inlaid into the grooves that are created in the steel.
Opening up the decorated cover shows a minimalist grey dial with a sub second dial at the 9 0’clock and the date at the 3 o’clock. At the heart of the PAM850 is the workhorse P.9000 automatic calibre with a power reserve of 3 days. The Sealand is finished off with a beautiful brown strap, a spare strap, screwdriver, and a special tool for the quick strap change system.
The Panerai PAM850 is available exclusively in Panerai boutiques throughout the world.
