Originally created in 1996 for actor Sylvester Stallone, the PAM00785 Special Edition Set comprises of two models inspired by two of the watches most representative of the pre-Vendôme era: the Lumnior Black Seal and the Lumnior Daylight. The timepieces are named after the film “Daylight”, which was the movie that Stallone was filming during the creation of the original wristwatches. With limited editions of 500 units each, the presentation of the set is inspired by that of the pre-Vendôme Luminor: a pear wood box that also contains a model of the human torpedo on a teak base which includes a rare publication about the military equipment of the special forces of the Royal Italian Navy, including Panerai watches and instruments.

The unique 44mm case of the two Luminors bears the shape and proportions created by Panerai in 1993 to reinterpret the historic 1950 Luminor case. Much as the design of the new rare and refined Luminors stays true to the wristwatch crafted in 1993, the technical content has been updated with the hand-wound P.5000 calibre, a high-end in house movement exclusively designed and crafted in the Panerai manufacture at Neuchâtel. These unparalleled pieces are a true testament to Panerai’s dedication to innovation and a modern example of their timeless sophisticated technical achievement.
