Panerai, one of the watch enthusiasts’ favorite brands, added six new models to its Luminor Due collection.
What comes to your mind when it gets to Panerai? Great watches, models created for diving, Italian design? Or a combination of all these… And there is also has the brand’s Luminor Due collection, which is thinner, smaller and less(!) diving capable than the other models. Now the Italian brand is expanding its Luminor Due, which is fed by the contrasts, with the models PAM00926, PAM00927, PAM00964, PAM01043, PAM01045, and PAM01046.
Luminor Due PAM00926 and PAM00927
The new watches PAM00926, PAM00927, and PAM00964 referenced models come with brushed titanium cases, blue crocodile straps, sunray patterned dials and beige indexes. One of the rare differences between PAM00926 (38mm) and 927 (42mm) is the case diameter. All three models have a date display and a Luminor Marina style winding crown protection.
The case backs of these models are solid. It is difficult to predict exactly why the brand made such a choice, as the watches in this collection are resistant to water pressure up to 30 meters only. In other words, the user does not have to protect the watch from the rain, but it is impossible to swim with the watch.
Both models provide automatic Caliber P.900 power and give a 72-hour lifetime in full installation. PAM00926 is available for 6,700 EUR and PAM00927 for 7,000 EUR.
PAM00964 with GMT Function
The PAM00964 comes with a titanium case like the ones mentioned above but is larger in diameter (45mm). The second time zone display is at 9 o’clock. The power reserve indicator is off-centered and placed between 5 and 6 o’clock. The Caliber P.4002 used in this Luminor Due model is equipped with a micro-rotor to maintain the thin profile of the model. The automatic movement provides 72 hours of power reserve when fully wound. Let us also add that this model was developed and produced in the brand’s manufacture at Neuchâtel. The price of the watch is 11,800 EUR.
Gold Case PAM01045
Meet the most expensive Luminor Due. This model is impressive with its bright red strap, 38mm gold case, and beige dial. The watch is powered by the automatic Caliber P900 and provides 72 hours of power reserve when fully wound. So, is this a women’s watch? Yes, and one of the best ones… The price of this (poetic) watch is 14,900 EUR.
PAM01043 and PAM01046
Among all these models, the most accessible one is the PAM01043. It is a typical contemporary Panerai with the Italian design that reflects to the smallest detail. With a brown leather strap, beige dial and stitches in the same tone, the model is quite beautiful. The 38mm case is made of stainless steel and houses the automatic P900 movement, providing 72 hours of power reserve when fully wound. PAM01046, on the other hand, is more masculine than its sibling is with its dark brown calf strap and 42mm case. PAM01043 is available for 5,900 EUR and PAM01046 for 6,200 EUR.
