The new Panerai creation, a Luminor Marina with the character FU engraved

on the back, is available exclusively on panerai.cn and on the company’s WeChat Boutique.

It is an exclusive creation, as is shown by the number of examples produced:

only 188, a quantity chosen in honour of the propitiatory significance of the number 8,

bearer of prosperity and wealth in the Chinese culture.

In the new Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic Acciaio the character FU

is engraved as a highly contemporary ideogram on the back

of a Luminor Marina case 44 mm in diameter, made entirely of AISI 316L stainless steel

and fitted with the characteristic bridge device which protects the winding crown

and helps to make the watch water-resistant to 30 bar (a depth of about 300 metres).

The dial is black with large index figures,

the small seconds counter at 9 o’clock and the date window at 3 o’clock.

The dial has a sandwich structure, formed by two superimposed layers

containing the luminous substance, the light of which emerges through the holes

in the upper layer corresponding to the hour markers.
