Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT blue dial

A slender 2mm differentiates Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days GMT Automatic (PAM 688) from the Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Automatic (PAM 689). To attribute this slight difference to the threefold increase in power reserve between the former and the latter, however, would be mistaken. The P.9001 in-house calibre that powers the three-day model shares the same 13¾ - line diameter as the P.2003 movement that provides 240 hours of power reserve from three mainspring barrels. The latter movement is just 0.1mm thicker than the former (7.9mm for the P.9001 against 8.0mm for the P.2003). Get popular replica Panerai Luminor watches, copy watches, look alike watches at Copywatchalike.is, all watches are all in excellent quality with affordable price.

Both have a stainless-steel case with the trademark lever-activated crown lock at 3 o’clock, a date indication, a central GMT hand and the familiar sandwich construction on the dial with generous apertures to show off the beige SuperLuminova beneath the hour markers and oversized Arabic numerals at the quarters. The 10-day model has a linear power reserve indicator above the 6 o’clock position (on the three-day model the power reserve indicator can be seen on the movement side through a transparent sapphire crystal caseback) and an additional am/pm indicator hand on the same subsidiary counter as the small seconds at 9 o’clock.

The same P.2003 calibre is used in the Radiomir 1940 10 Days GMT model in red gold, which has 45mm diameter case in Panerai’s house blend of gold, which contains a few per cent of platinum (for additional protection against oxidation), giving the polished case its distinctive, rich red tone.
