Panerai Luminor Arktos Mens Watch PAM00092

The unique instrument of survival during the ten stages of the expedition whose name it carries, the Arktos was specially designed and developed to exceptional specifications. Antimagnetic, encased inside soft iron, water tight to a depth of 300 meters, able to resist extreme temperatures down to 70 (whereas the oils used in the construction of a classic sports watch would fail at 30); the Arktos can also be used as a compass.

The four points of the compass are marked on the rotating lunette, enabling the wearer to orient himself by locating north from the time on the watch.

Instructions for use: with the hour hand directed to the sun, turn the lunette to position the point corresponding to north half way between the hour hand and the 12 index on the dial. If the hour hand indicates 10, north is at 5. If it's at 4, north is at 8.


No other brand other than perhaps Rolex or Audemars Piguet has such a dedicated and loyal fan base. This cult brand of Italian origin enjoys a superb reputation. Founded in 1860 in Florence, Italy, Panerai became the official supplier to the Italian navy. The instantly recognizable oversized case design is a hallmark of this cult brand. Often produced in very limited runs, these watches are reknowned for selling way above their recommended retail price.
