There is a very intelligent watch feature available in Panerai, the brand name or the Panerai replica watch, which is worth describing in detail. One model in particular in the 2011 collection showcases this feature. The Luminor Submersible 1950 is a special edition from Panerai which includes a protection plate around the winding mechanism which also serves as an alternative to the normal twist winder. Instead of winding the watch with a clockwise turn of the winding screw, a lever that must be pulled up and down which converts that energy into the traditional clockwise turn on the winder. This is not only a beautiful complication, but serves as intelligent watch protection. This is a unique trademarked feature that you will not find on any other brand. The Luminor Submersible is an all brush bronze piece that certainly rings of a previous time. The dark green dial plate is the perfect complement to this metal. On this piece in particular, the trademarked winding mechanism adds something nostalgic.
If you also find this to be an intriguing feature for the purposes of a watch collector but are not certain about the value of this mechanism, why not try it out first with a Panerai copy? Replica watch manufacturers have, in the last 10 years, greatly increased their production qualities. This mechanism is fully functional on replicas. Consider it a test run similar to the engineers working on a prototype. You can diligently examine the workings, even take it apart for inspection without the worry of ruining a serious investment. Of course the quality may not be exactly the same, but nowadays are high quality Panerai replication horologes now available on the marketplace. You will end up saving yourself a lot of money testing this feature before you commit to the full investment of a Panerai original.
