Like its predecessor, the new L\u2019Astronomo - Luminor 1950\u00a0Tourbillon Moon Phases Equation of Time GMT is made to order, and the skeletonised movement,\u00a0the P.2005\/GLS (standing for Galileo Luna Scheletrato), is personalised to operate in accordance with\u00a0the geographical coordinates of a place chosen by the client. It provides the same range of remarkable\u00a0functions as the first L\u2019Astronomo, and in addition, GMT and two other innovations: indication of the\u00a0phases of the moon and an original system for displaying the date using polarised crystals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE MOON PHASE INDICATOR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the invention of the telescope, Galileo made revolutionary discoveries concerning the\u00a0appearance and the movement of the moon. He made remarkably beautiful drawings of what he\u00a0saw with an accuracy and attention to detail which is still amazing even today. So in a timepiece\u00a0dedicated to him, nothing would be more logical than moon phase indication, a classic complication\u00a0of high quality watchmaking which Panerai has interpreted in its own way and with an accuracy of a\u00a0century. On the back of the new L\u2019Astronomo\u2019s P.2005\/GLS movement is a day\/night indicator which\u00a0also clearly displays the phases of the moon, by means of a system consisting of two superimposed\u00a0discs which rotate in combination. The upper disc \u2013 which is read by a small external index fixed onto\u00a0the movement \u2013 displays the 24 hours of the day, showing the sun during the hours of daylight and\u00a0the stars of the sky at night. At the centre of the starry sky is a little round window through which\u00a0the lower disc can be seen; on this appears the moon, its shape evolving day by day as a result of a\u00a0small supplementary rotation of this disc of about 6.1\u00b0 per day, a figure based on the exact duration\u00a0of one lunar cycle (an average of 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds).<\/p>\n<p>Given that each watch movement is made according to the coordinates of a place chosen by the\u00a0watch\u2019s owner, the indication of the moon phases always relates to the sky above that place, and of\u00a0course it also takes account of the difference between the earth\u2019s northern and southern hemispheres.\u00a0Like the moon phase indicator, the indicators of sunrise and sunset times are connected to home\u00a0time and therefore, if the owner of the watch should find himself in a city with a different time zone\u00a0from that of the chosen city, these indicators will continue to show the situation at the time at home,\u00a0which is indicated by the GMT hand.\u00a0Finally, at six o\u2019clock is the linear indicator of the equation of time, which displays the difference\u00a0between actual time (solar time) and conventional time on each day, this period ranging between plus\u00a015 minutes and minus 15 minutes, according to the time of year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A POLARISED CRYSTAL DATE DISPLAY DESIGNED TO INTEGRATE PERFECTLY WITH THE SKELETONISATION OF THE P.2005\/GLS MOVEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As well as the moon phase indicator, the hand-wound P.2005\/GLS calibre also has the characteristic\u00a0Panerai tourbillon escapement, which can be admired both from the front as well as from the back\u00a0of the watch thanks the sophisticated work of skeletonising the movement and the absence of an\u00a0actual dial. All the elements which would be found in a traditional dial appear on the movement or the\u00a0flange, and the two spring barrels, which store enough power to last at least four days, are visible\u00a0through the open back, which also enables the power reserve indicator mounted on the movement\u00a0to be read.<\/p>\n<p>In a watch with this construction, a date disc designed in the traditional way would to some extent\u00a0conceal the fascination of the skeletonised movement, because it would cover part of the components.\u00a0The Laboratorio di Idee at the Manufacture in Neuch\u00e2tel has therefore designed an innovative system\u00a0\u2013 pending patent by Panerai \u2013 in which the date disc is made of borosilicate glass and the numbers\u00a0of the days have laser-modified optical properties. The numbers are virtually invisible in all positions\u00a0except for the one that is aligned with the little date window, where a further polarized crystal,\u00a0situated above the date disc, causes the number to appear so that it is perfectly legible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE TOURBILLON REGULATOR PATENTED BY PANERAI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the system patented by Panerai, the tourbillon\u2019s rotation is different from that of the classic tourbillon. The cage of the balance rotates continuously on itself, to correct any alterations caused by gravity and possible friction. In this innovative mechanism patented by Panerai, the cage rotates\u00a0 on an axis at right angles to the balance, not parallel with it. Also, while the traditional tourbillon rotates once in one minute, that of the P.2005\/GLS rotates once in 30 seconds, and its rotation can be seen by an indicator in the small seconds counter at 9 o\u2019clock. The higher speed and the particular arrangement of the mechanism mean that any possible alterations of rate are effectively compensated, resulting in more accurate timekeeping.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AN EXCLUSIVE CREATION, MADE TO ORDER AND PERSONALISABLE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As well as the technical personalisation of the P.2005\/GLS movement, the new L\u2019Astronomo -\u00a0Luminor 1950 Tourbillon Moon Phases Equation of Time GMT also provides the opportunity\u00a0of selecting the material and finish of the case, the colour of the hands and that of the Super-\u00a0LumiNova\u00ae which makes the watch\u2019s indications extremely readable even in the dark, as well as\u00a0the colour of the alligator strap. In this way each client can create an individual watch of great\u00a0character and elegance, for example choosing between a red gold or a white gold case, or the\u00a0brushed titanium case of the basic version of the L\u2019Astronomo for a more sporty and functional\u00a0appearance. In each instance, the watch is water-resistant to 10 bar (a depth of about 100 metres).<\/p>","description_short":"","quantity":0,"minimal_quantity":"0","available_now":"","available_later":"","price":0,"specificPrice":false,"additional_shipping_cost":"0.00","wholesale_price":"0.000000","on_sale":"0","online_only":"0","unity":"","unit_price":0,"unit_price_ratio":"0.000000","ecotax":"0.000000","reference":"PAM00920","supplier_reference":"","location":"","width":"0.000000","height":"0.000000","depth":"0.000000","weight":"0.000000","ean13":"","upc":"","link_rewrite":"l-astronomo-luminor-1950-tourbillon-moon-phase-equation-of-time-gmt-titanio-50-mm","meta_description":"L\u2019ASTRONOMO LUMINOR 1950 TOURBILLON MOON PHASES EQUATION OF TIME GMT \u2013 50mm THE ASTRONOMO - LUMINOR 1950 TOURBILLON MOON PHASES EQUATION OF TIME GMT IS\u00a0THE F...","meta_keywords":"","meta_title":"Watch Panerai L'Astronomo Luminor 1950 Tourbillon Moon Phase Equation of Time GMT | Special Editions PAM00920  Titanium - All...","quantity_discount":"0","customizable":"0","new":false,"uploadable_files":"0","text_fields":"0","active":"1","redirect_type":"","id_product_redirected":"0","available_for_order":"0","available_date":"0000-00-00","condition":"new","show_price":"1","indexed":"1","visibility":"both","date_add":"2018-03-14 16:37:40","date_upd":"2018-06-12 15:01:18","tags":false,"base_price":"0.000000","id_tax_rules_group":"1","id_color_default":0,"advanced_stock_management":"0","out_of_stock":2,"depends_on_stock":false,"isFullyLoaded":true,"cache_is_pack":"0","cache_has_attachments":"1","is_virtual":"0","id_pack_product_attribute":null,"cache_default_attribute":"0","category":"editions-speciales","pack_stock_type":"0","id":6520,"id_shop_list":null,"force_id":false,"customization_required":false}

DESCRIPTION

• L’ASTRONOMO LUMINOR 1950 TOURBILLON MOON PHASES EQUATION OF TIME GMT – 50mm

  THE ASTRONOMO - LUMINOR 1950 TOURBILLON MOON PHASES EQUATION OF TIME GMT IS THE FIRST OF OFFICINE PANERAI’S CREATIONS TO HAVE MOON PHASE INDICATION AND AN INNOVATIVE SYSTEM USING POLARISED CRYSTALS TO INDICATE THE DATE. A REMARKABLE NEW MADE-TO-ORDER TIMEPIECE WHICH CAN BE PERSONALISED, ENHANCING THE SERIES DEDICATED TO THE GENIUS OF GALILEO GALILEI.

  Innovation and high quality watchmaking are combined in the new L’Astronomo - Luminor 1950 Tourbillon Moon Phases Equation of Time GMT, the latest creation dedicated to Galileo Galilei. A Luminor 1950 case, whose iconic design is part of the fascinating history of Officine Panerai, encloses a concentration of technical solutions which demonstrate the ability of the Florentine brand to interpret traditional complications in ways which are always distinctive, bringing innovation into the world of high quality sports watchmaking.

  The first Panerai L’Astronomo, presented in 2010 on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the celestial observations made by Galileo as a result of the invention of the telescope, was the first timepiece created by Panerai with a tourbillon regulator, calendar, equation of time indication and the display of the times of sunrise and sunset. Like its predecessor, the new L’Astronomo - Luminor 1950 Tourbillon Moon Phases Equation of Time GMT is made to order, and the skeletonised movement, the P.2005/GLS (standing for Galileo Luna Scheletrato), is personalised to operate in accordance with the geographical coordinates of a place chosen by the client. It provides the same range of remarkable functions as the first L’Astronomo, and in addition, GMT and two other innovations: indication of the phases of the moon and an original system for displaying the date using polarised crystals.

  THE MOON PHASE INDICATOR

  Thanks to the invention of the telescope, Galileo made revolutionary discoveries concerning the appearance and the movement of the moon. He made remarkably beautiful drawings of what he saw with an accuracy and attention to detail which is still amazing even today. So in a timepiece dedicated to him, nothing would be more logical than moon phase indication, a classic complication of high quality watchmaking which Panerai has interpreted in its own way and with an accuracy of a century. On the back of the new L’Astronomo’s P.2005/GLS movement is a day/night indicator which also clearly displays the phases of the moon, by means of a system consisting of two superimposed discs which rotate in combination. The upper disc – which is read by a small external index fixed onto the movement – displays the 24 hours of the day, showing the sun during the hours of daylight and the stars of the sky at night. At the centre of the starry sky is a little round window through which the lower disc can be seen; on this appears the moon, its shape evolving day by day as a result of a small supplementary rotation of this disc of about 6.1° per day, a figure based on the exact duration of one lunar cycle (an average of 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds).

  Given that each watch movement is made according to the coordinates of a place chosen by the watch’s owner, the indication of the moon phases always relates to the sky above that place, and of course it also takes account of the difference between the earth’s northern and southern hemispheres. Like the moon phase indicator, the indicators of sunrise and sunset times are connected to home time and therefore, if the owner of the watch should find himself in a city with a different time zone from that of the chosen city, these indicators will continue to show the situation at the time at home, which is indicated by the GMT hand. Finally, at six o’clock is the linear indicator of the equation of time, which displays the difference between actual time (solar time) and conventional time on each day, this period ranging between plus 15 minutes and minus 15 minutes, according to the time of year.

  A POLARISED CRYSTAL DATE DISPLAY DESIGNED TO INTEGRATE PERFECTLY WITH THE SKELETONISATION OF THE P.2005/GLS MOVEMENT

  As well as the moon phase indicator, the hand-wound P.2005/GLS calibre also has the characteristic Panerai tourbillon escapement, which can be admired both from the front as well as from the back of the watch thanks the sophisticated work of skeletonising the movement and the absence of an actual dial. All the elements which would be found in a traditional dial appear on the movement or the flange, and the two spring barrels, which store enough power to last at least four days, are visible through the open back, which also enables the power reserve indicator mounted on the movement to be read.

  In a watch with this construction, a date disc designed in the traditional way would to some extent conceal the fascination of the skeletonised movement, because it would cover part of the components. The Laboratorio di Idee at the Manufacture in Neuchâtel has therefore designed an innovative system – pending patent by Panerai – in which the date disc is made of borosilicate glass and the numbers of the days have laser-modified optical properties. The numbers are virtually invisible in all positions except for the one that is aligned with the little date window, where a further polarized crystal, situated above the date disc, causes the number to appear so that it is perfectly legible.

  THE TOURBILLON REGULATOR PATENTED BY PANERAI

  In the system patented by Panerai, the tourbillon’s rotation is different from that of the classic tourbillon. The cage of the balance rotates continuously on itself, to correct any alterations caused by gravity and possible friction. In this innovative mechanism patented by Panerai, the cage rotates  on an axis at right angles to the balance, not parallel with it. Also, while the traditional tourbillon rotates once in one minute, that of the P.2005/GLS rotates once in 30 seconds, and its rotation can be seen by an indicator in the small seconds counter at 9 o’clock. The higher speed and the particular arrangement of the mechanism mean that any possible alterations of rate are effectively compensated, resulting in more accurate timekeeping.

  AN EXCLUSIVE CREATION, MADE TO ORDER AND PERSONALISABLE

  As well as the technical personalisation of the P.2005/GLS movement, the new L’Astronomo - Luminor 1950 Tourbillon Moon Phases Equation of Time GMT also provides the opportunity of selecting the material and finish of the case, the colour of the hands and that of the Super- LumiNova® which makes the watch’s indications extremely readable even in the dark, as well as the colour of the alligator strap. In this way each client can create an individual watch of great character and elegance, for example choosing between a red gold or a white gold case, or the brushed titanium case of the basic version of the L’Astronomo for a more sporty and functional appearance. In each instance, the watch is water-resistant to 10 bar (a depth of about 100 metres).
