Catalogue Note
In 2008 Panerai replace PAM 276 steel version with a lighter version –PAM 306 Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT Titanio. Featuring Cal. P 2005 movement with fast rotation lateral lever tourbillon carriage, the updated version retained the retro 1950 design with a titanium case and a dark tobacco brown dial. Cal. P 2005 was the company’s first lateral tourbillon, unconventional in design, the balance is rotated through 360 degrees upon the lateral axis instead of horizontal. With a rotation of 30 seconds per revolution the position of the carriage is indicated by a rotating dot within the seconds dial. The movement is fitted with an impressive triple-barrel system, allowing for 6 days power reserve and GMT function. The tourbillon is visible through sapphire crystal display back as an effort of the brand to preserve the simplicity and readability of the dial.
