Only 500 pieces were made of this special edition Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days GMT Titanio. It features a brushed titanium case with a rotating bezel and the trademark Panerai crown-guard. The hands, dial, and bezel are equipped with luminescent material for optimal legibility. The watch comes with a blue rubber strap and titanium pin buckle.

Personalized details include the inscription “Pole2Pole” on its blue dial, and the case back is engraved with Mike Horn’s signature and the expedition logo (depicting a polar bear and a penguin symbolizing the two poles). Mike Horn is globally acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest modern-day explorers. His achievements include swimming the Amazon River solo and unsupported, as well as completing an unmotorized circumnavigation of the globe at the equator. His solo explorations are unparalleled in modern times.

This watch is in mint condition with some marks on the bezel, case and buckle. The hours, minutes, small seconds and date are complemented with a GMT function with a yellow central hand indicating the home time. All settings are done through the crown, hence the absence of a corrector leaves the clean curves of the Luminor case intact. A smart second reset device resets the second hands, enabling the watch to be synchronized perfectly with a reference time signal. It features an automatic self-winding movement, which winds itself while worn on the wrist with 3-day power reserve.

Comes with original Panerai box, watch, watch pillow, and warranty card.

This watch appeals to everyone, especially those with a spirit of exploration. It’s a truly rare timepiece that makes ownership exceptionally special and serves as a great conversation starter with anyone who notices it.
