The first appearance of the word "BiTempo" in Panerai - Panerai Luminor BiTempo PAM01360, PAM01361
The Panerai Luminor series has launched two new versions of the timetables in both places, with updated details, namely PAM01360 with a matte black dial and PAM01361 with a blue sunray dial; both have blue hands to indicate the second time zone time, The second time zone is displayed on a 12-hour clock. Unlike Panerai in the past, which marked the word "GMT" on the dials of the timetables in the two places to point out this function, these two new works are the first to use the Italian word "BiTempo" to replace it.
Both of these two new works have a frosted stainless steel case with a diameter of 44mm and a polished stainless steel bezel. They use Panerai's most distinctive sandwich dial, and fine-tune the details to bring out a more refined aesthetic presentation. It includes a date window at 3 o’clock that is larger than that of other watches in the same series, and has changed from the previous right-angle design to a beveled design, which will also become the standard setting for future Panerai models. The subdial at five o’clock is paired with bright blue hands to indicate the remaining power, which can provide 72 hours of power when the chain is full.

The Italian text marked on the dial points out the functional highlights of the watch itself. "BiTempo" represents the GMT function, and "ore" represents the number of hours remaining in the power reserve. These design details point to Panerai's Italian heritage and experience making instruments for naval divers. Through the sapphire crystal case back made of corundum, the P.9012 movement of this model can be admired.
