Among Panerai fanatics, the saying “pre-Vendome” has acquired a nearly mystical significance. Panerai has introduced a unique Edition Two of new models inspired by two best-known watches from the period.

Panerai’s pre-Vendome era would be a short one. It started in 1993, the entire year from the first collection not provided solely for military use, and led to 1997, the entire year Panerai was acquired through the Vend?me Luxury Group, that was majority possessed by Richemont. (Richemont acquired the rest of the Vendome shares in 1998). Throughout that four-year period, Panerai produced only a couple of hundred watches, now, they're cult objects for a lot of enthusiasts. Two most well-known were specialized for Sylvester Stallone in 1996, as he was associated with the video Daylight. Those are the Luminor Black Seal and also the Luminor Daylight.

Pursuits of the watches, created in limited models of 500 models each, are actually offered solely included in the Special Edition Set. This set is shipped inside a pear wood box also it features a type of the Siluro a Lenta Corsa, or slow-speed torpedo, installed on a teak base. Also incorporated is really a rare publication concerning the military equipment from the special forces from the Royal Italian Navy, naturally including Panerai watches and instruments.

Each Luminor watch case measures 44 mm across, despite the fact that the style of the brand new Luminors faithfully follows those of the 1996 watches, the movements represent significant upgrades. Each watch is operated by the hand-wound, in-house caliber P.5000 that's entirely designed making within the Panerai manufacture at Neuchatel. Twin spring barrels offer an eight-day power reserve, and also the rugged movement design includes broad bridges which cover the majority of the wheelwork.

Each watch also includes a new strap inspired through the originals. It consists of brown leather, with contrasting ecru stitching along with a buckle matched using the case, stitched to the strap itself. The Special Edition Set includes two spare straps like the original, together with a screwdriver.

The Special Edition Set, which bears reference PAM000785, is listed at $20,900.
