Just opened at the prime location of New York’s Madison Avenue, Casa Panerai is the luxury watchmaker’s largest boutique to date, and home to an extensive collection of new and classic time-tellers. In celebrating the opening, Panerai also premiered the Panerai Radiomir Tourbillon Bronzo , as well as a special Luminor BiTempo New York Edition.
The Panerai Radiomir Tourbillon Bronzo is Panerai’s first-over tourbillon to arrive in a 45mm case size and is possibly the main centerpiece for the new boutique. It’s set in a bronze case, that gradually exudes even more retro charm and vintage appeal through time, oxidation, and wear. In line with its overall aesthetic, the watch is paired with a dark brown calf leather strap with contrasting top-stitches. At the heart and on the face of the time-teller, the P.2015/T calibre can be observed as it powers the piece for up to four days. Meanwhile, the dial pits a luscious deep green with bronze-hued numerals, hour markers, and lume-filled hands for a contrasting, yet complementing effect.
A dedicated timepiece for the occasion, the Panerai Luminor BiTempo New York Edition is offered in a limited run of 212 pieces. The 44mm titanium DLC case comes equipped with Luminor’s hallmarked sandwich dial in an understated gray, matte, and shaded finish. Sleek, sophisticated, and durable, the watch is also bestowed with a three-day power reserve, and 30 bar water resistance via the automatic P9010/GMT calibre it houses. Accompanying the stealthy timepiece is a matching gray strap composed of recycled PET.
Take a closer look at the aforementioned timepieces, as well as the newly-unveiled Casa Panerai boutique in the gallery above.

Panerai has just unveiled its new Panerai Luminor BiTempo New York collection comprising three 38mm references. Exhibiting effortless elegance and urban appeal, the range is designed to go with the everyday wardrobe of city dwellers.
For the first time ever, the Maison debuts pastel-colored dials for the collection, arriving in light blue, green, and powdery pink. The sandwich dial is filled with white Super-Luminova and is shaded with double-finishing polish for a luminous and gradient effect. Embellishing the dial are the brand’s classic Arabic numerals at the 12 and 6 o’clock marks, small seconds subdial, small date display, lume-filled applied hands, and a subtle Panerai inscription.
Set in a polished, stainless steel case with a matching metal bracelet, each watch is implemented with the Maison’s distinctive semi-oval crown-protection device, which comes with a safety-lock system. As for movement, the new Luminor Due is powered by the P.900 automatic calibre, complete with a three-day power reserve and 5 ATM water resistance.
Limited to 500 pieces per colorway per year, the Luminor Due collection is only available via Panerai’s boutique-exclusive program. Visit the brand’s official website to inquire about its price point, availability, and how to purchase.
