Panerai Luminor Regatta Transat Classique 2019 – 47mm

Panerai presents the Luminor Regatta Transat Classique, a remarkable new watch for wearing at sea, created in only 150 examples in honour the most thrilling international regatta for classic yachts: the Panerai Transat Classique 2019. The challenge is an epic one: in January 2019 a fleet of classic yachts will set sail from Lanzarote and cross the Atlantic Ocean, heading for their destination, St Kitts in the Caribbean Sea. The crews will face the 3,000 nautical miles of this route – which is engraved on the back of the watch together with the logo of the race – relying only on their skill, their courage and the timbers of their magnificent yachts, trying to emulate the great navigators of the past in this race which is not only against the other competitors but above all a battle against the power of nature. Also taking part in the race will be Panerai’s 1936 Bermudan ketch, Eilean, tackling the 38th transatlantic crossing of her career.
