The Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo – 47mm, presented by Officine Panerai in 2011, made a real splash due to the revolutionary decision to look to the past, by retrieving an antique material – bronze – that manages better than anything else in the world of timepieces to evoke the fascinating world of the sea that lies at the origins of Panerai.
