With
the introducton of the Lo Scienziato Radiomir Tourbillon GMT, Panerai
has yet another grand complication under its belt, and this time its a
skeleton watch. Having
just introduced the brands first tourbillon movements only two years
ago, the release of this watch is no small feat for the luxury watch
brand. Who in comparison to many of its competitors is still a relatively young company. The
Lo Scienziato Radiomir Tourbillon GMT is not just a technically
impressive watch, from a design standpoint I believe Panerai has crossed
yet another bridge in the furthering of the brand by creating quite an
elegant piece. 
Perhaps they will succeed in gaining a few new followers who might not have considering purchasing a Panerai before. Powered by the hand-wound mechanical movement Panerai P.2005/S calibre, a movement produced entirely by Panerai. The movement is just 10.05 milimeters thick and contains 31 jewels, 277 components in all. The movement allows for a power reserve of up to 6 days. While
many skeleton watches display just hours and minute, the Lo Scienziato
also displays small seconds, a second time zone, 24th indicator, power
reserve indicator and tourbillon. All without seeming to clutter the design of the watch.
The
case of the watch is 48 milimeters in diameter and produced in black
ceramic with removable wire loop strap attachments in steel. The screw-down winding crown is made from ceramic personalized OP. Each
side of the watch is protected by see-through scratch resistant
sapphire crystal treated with a double anti-reflective coating. The
watch is completed by a PANERAI personalized leather strap with an
adjustable steel buckle that has been treated with a special hard black
coating. The Panerai Lo Scienziato Radiomir Tourbillon GMT is water resistant up to 100 meters.
