Introducing Panerai Luminor watch dial. Luminosity is a key feature of Panerai Instruments and timepieces since ever. Panerai’s journey into luminosity started with Radiomir, self-luminous paste patented in 1916 and used in the first Panerai watch Prototype in 1935. One of the main challenges was to develop instruments that could illuminate in the dark of the sea for military purposes. The Journey continued in 1949 when Panerai applied for a new patent named ‘Luminor’ that gradually replaced Radiomir. Today Luminor is the essence of Panerai: characterized by the emblematic crown protecting device and its signature luminous dial, it represents a symbol of Italian design. Panerai stands for an exclusive Swiss manufacturing watch Brand featuring unmistakable Italian design as well as highly performing innovations closely associated to the World of the Sea. Features - Open the APP to display the Panerai Luminor dial full screen on your device. - Add the widget to your Home Screen: touch and hold the Home Screen background until the apps begin to Jiggle then select Panerai Luminor dial from the widget gallery. - Enable StandBy in iOS Settings and add the widget to view the dial while your device is charging.
