New Luminor Due watches showcase the evolution of the species
In keeping with the Panerai watchmaker character, the Luminor Due continues to evolve

In keeping with the character of the Luminor Due family, Panerai remains unconventional in its attitude and its disposition. The new watches have been mechanically redesigned and are slimmer while respecting the Italian watchmaker’s classic design.
The elegant proportions of the Luminor Due now appear in three striking new models that have the brushed titanium case and the blue satiné soleil finish of the dial. There are also three updated models of varied character, embodying a consistent array of style and versatility.
With the clear message of its unequivocal personality, its formal sophistication and its eclectic Italian style, the Luminor Due is continuing its bold exploration of unknown territories. And through structural improvements its range of features is becoming wider.
A traditional aesthetic signature with the spirit of today
In terms of materials, the Luminor Due 38mm (PAM00926) appears for the first time in titanium. As for combinations, the Luminor Due – 42mm (PAM00927) is the first model of its size to associate a titanium case with an automatic mechanical movement. As far as solutions are concerned, the Luminor Due GMT Power reserve – 45mm (PAM000964) is Panerai’s first “45mm” watch, and it has an interchangeable strap with the Quick Release system.
Distinctive refinement, expressed in a more informal character, is the key to interpreting the three new Luminor Due watches perfected in the 38mm and 42mm sizes and offered with a stainless-steel or Goldtech case. Common to all are the radically revised dial designs, sophisticated and elegant with printed Arabic numerals and numbers while fully realising Panerai’s iconic level of visual language. The new style is complemented by the wide choice of personal leather straps.
The perpetual pursuit of perfection
The manufacture movement is strictly mechanical, rigorously following Panerai’s demanding specifications, but from now on it will exclusively have automatic winding. This requirement is dictated by practical considerations and the need to reconcile the watch’s physical and aesthetic design with the challenge of dimensions - the main characteristic of the collection.
This was the reason behind the introduction of the new P.900 Calibre – at 4.2mm thick, one of the thinnest automatic movements produced at the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel. It is the first Panerai automatic watch of this diameter to have both a date display and a power reserve of three days, a fundamental solution it shares with the Luminor Due – 38mm (PAM00926 – PAM1043 – PAM1045) and the Luminor Due – 42mm (PAM00927 – PAM1046). Even greater mechanical sophistication is to be found in the P.4002 Calibre used in the Luminor Due GMT Power Reserve – 45mm (PAM000964). Twin time zones with dial-side power-reserve indication and a 24-hour display with AM/PM indicator are incorporated in a movement just 4.8mm thick.
These new Luminor Due watches are supplied with interchangeable straps equipped with the Quick Release system. They are water-resistant to 3 bar (a depth of about 30m).
