An explosive athlete and gentleman on and off the field, MS Dhoni is an authentic cricket star, globally recognised and acclaimed, capable of leading the Indian national team for an interminable decade, in the role of captain, to the greatest successes in the continental arena. An admirer of Panerai, he became its ambassador for India in late 2018. The brand is now celebrating the partnership with the launch of two new models: the Luminor GMT - 44 mm (PAM01056) and the Luminor Chrono Flyback - 44 mm (PAM01057). These two new Luminors faithfully express the double enterprising personality of MS Dhoni: decisive, reliable, confident inside the field. Eclectic, impeccable, refined outside. Ways of being distilled in the forms of a Luminor GMT - 44 mm (PAM01056) by its very nature consistent thanks to the contribution of an AISI 316L steel case. As well as in those of a Luminor Chrono Flyback - 44 mm (PAM01057) avowedly more sophisticated but just as high-performance due to its supporting structure in Goldtech, a golden blend developed by the Laboratorio di Idee Panerai. Binding component, the green of the dial. A highly rated identifying factor, the favoured colour of the MS Dhoni as well as the colour component of the Indian flag. Another customised detail is the case back engraved with MS Dhoni's signature, his image, the number 183, symbolising the record score achieved during the One Day International and the map of the Indian subcontinent. The technical foundation of the new Luminors is a proven, high-performance mechanical system capable of expressing through two different functions the best of the know-how perfected within the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel. On the one hand, there is the P.9010/GMT calibre, which equips the Luminor GMT - 44 mm (PAM01056), an automatic double-barrel assisted by a 3-day power reserve and distinguished by the indication of a second time zone. On the other, the P.9100 calibre, reserved for the Luminor Chrono Flyback - 44 mm (PAM01057), also with a double barrel and 3-day autonomy, but with an even more refined architecture as a vertical column-wheel chronograph movement, and equipped with a flyback function. In fact, the first automatic manufacture chronograph entirely developed by Panerai in 2013, conceived to express its potential in the service of any kind of sport. Water-resistant to 30 bar (approx. 300 metres depth) or 5 bar (approx. 50 metres depth), the new Luminor MS Dhoni is equipped with an alligator leather strap, semi-matt black with green stitching. An additional military green rubber strap completes the equipment, along with a special interchangeable tool and a screwdriver for removing the buckle.
