The Panerai Luminor Chrono Tantalum PAM 192 was released in 2004 as a limited edition of 300 pieces. Encased in tantalum, the rare material has a natural bluish gray appearance with a lustrous sheen that is also highly corrosion-resistant, which is perhaps why it might be the perfect case material to incorporate in a sports wristwatch. Powered by the Lemania-based cal. OPXVI, manually-wound chronograph movement, the movement beats at a frequency of 21,600 bph.
Preserved in excellent “like new” overall condition, the present example numbered 233 is complete with its full set of accessories.
Known for its robust designs and large case sizes, Officine Panerai was established in 1860 by Giovanni Panerai in Florence, Italy. Around 1900, Giovanni's grandson Guido Panerai took over, and Panerai became the supplier to the Regia Marina — the Royal Italian Navy. After supplying the navy with high-precision instruments for a number of years, Officine Panerai created Radiomir, a radium-based powder that gives luminosity to the dials of sighting instruments and devices. By 1936, the Royal Italian Navy approached Panerai again with the request to design a watch resistant to extreme underwater conditions. The watch they created became known as the "Radiomir".
Panerai's watches made during the early twentieth century era were comprised of cases designed and manufactured by Rolex SA, with Cortébert, a Swiss manufacturer, supplying the majority of their movements. The most recognizable designs from the firm are the Radiomir and Luminor. To date, vintage models from the first half of the 1900s, such as the reference 3646 and 6152 models, remain the most desirable among collectors.
