Panerai and Revolution: shaping time together 

Panerai celebrates Revolution's 20th Anniversary with the Luminor Marina Destro CarbotechTM PAM01708, a Singapore Exclusive.

The watch represents a tribute to the influential watch magazine and media company that has been a leading voice in the industry since 2005.

This launch honors the decades-long relationship with Revolution's founder, Wei Koh, a long-time admirer and commentator on Panerai. The PAM01708 is Panerai's second homage, following the Luminor Marina 8 Days DLC – 44mm released in 2015.

The concept of a “Destro” watch came from the demand of divers who had to wear the depth gauge and compass on their left hand. As a result, the large-sized Panerai diving watches were designed for the right wrist.

Interestingly, “Destro” means “right-handed” in Italian, but it’s remarkable how many people think it means “left-handed.” With the switch to right-hand wear, the crown guard and lever-locking mechanism were relocated to the left side of the case.

The 1960s saw the introduction of vintage Panerai “Destro” or left-handed watches, such as the Ref. 6152/1.

But it was the Richemont-era management consisting of then-CEO Angelo Bonati and designer Giampiero Bodino that took it upon themselves to launch the stunning PAM00026A in 1998 as a 200-piece limited edition and followed it up with the PAM00026B in 1999 as a 500-piece limited edition

In 2008, Panerai paid tribute to this same timepiece with the relaunch of the PAM00026K as a 1,000-piece limited edition, which now featured a sandwich-type dial and Super-LumiNova instead of tritium.

Because these watches were designed to be worn on the right hand, wearing them on the left is technically incorrect, and yet it looks so incredibly cool that it’s inspired a multitude of Destro watches over the years from other brands.

The material that really captured our imagination, meanwhile, was Carbotech™, a high-performance composite material exclusive to Panerai and known for its remarkable lightness and resistance to wear. 
 
Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

It is constructed from thin layers of carbon fiber and a binding agent called PEEK (polyether ether ketone), which is laid up and then heated and compressed.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The process produces a material that is 64% lighter than titanium and 80% lighter than steel, while offering superior resistance to corrosion and physical stress. Panerai’s Carbotech™ case plates are built with over 200 layers stacked together, while the bezel and crown-protecting device are machined at an angle to the layers — meaning that no two watches are visually identical after machining and finishing. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The result is a distinct, matte black finish with a variegated effect that shifts subtly depending on how the light hits it.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

To mark the 10th anniversary of Carbotech™, we decided to craft the case, bezel, crown, crown guard and even the lever from this material — everything except the caseback is made in Carbotech™. A particularly nice touch is that our Revolution logo is engraved on the lever.

Our latest collaboration also builds upon a previous limited edition launched on the occasion of Revolution’s 10th anniversary in 2015, the Luminor Marina 8 Days DLC Special Edition PAM00599.

The dial features beige lume on the indices and hands, paying tribute to our favorite Pre-Vendôme era models. It also draws inspiration from our 10th anniversary model, but this time, crafted using a more complex sandwich construction.

We love the idea of a vintage-looking dial set against a subtly modern material like Carbotech™. Inside the watch is the Caliber P.9010, an automatic movement with three days of power reserve stored in two spring barrels, wound by a bi-directional oscillating weight.

The result is an exceptional Luminor Marina that expresses the best of modern and vintage Panerai, demonstrating that contemporary materials like carbon fiber can harmoniously co-exist with the old-school aesthetic that made the brand truly special.

Ten years after our first collaboration, we are pleased to introduce a new timepiece to mark Revolution's 20th anniversary, a magazine that has since become a voice of authority in watch culture. By blending heritage with a cutting-edge twist, it captures our design essence through a historic left-handed configuration, inspired by Panerai’s archives, matched for the very first time with a Carbotech™ case.” says Alessandro Ficarelli, Chief Marketing and Product Officer of Panerai

PANERAI – Luminor GMT Ceramica 40mm PAM01460

 

OFFICINE PANERAIPAM01460 Luminor GMT Ceramica 40mm Black BiTempo - 2025

Panerai ignites the Luminor collection with the launch of the new Luminor GMT Ceramica PAM01460, the first-ever combination of a 40mm Luminor case with this renowned material. This addition embodies Panerai’s high-tech expertise in material innovation and its timeless Italian design, capturing the distinctive Luminor aesthetic in a smaller size, enhancing both versatility and contemporary appeal. Staying true to the Luminor signature design, the new PAM01460 features the unmistakable crown protecting device - now crafted in ceramic - along with the dial’s luminosity and its sandwich construction. Swiss precision manufacturing meets Panerai’s bold aesthetic, catering to the demands of the modern lifestyle.

The new Luminor GMT Ceramica PAM01460 showcases Panerai’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of technical innovation while honoring the legacy of our functional design. Featuring a first for Panerai -a 40mm black ceramic case offered with striking black dial combination- this timepiece highlights our advanced manufacturing capabilities and expertise in high-tech materials, specifically mastering the complexities of ceramic. Designed for the cosmopolitan traveler, this watch embodies understated sophistication and the innovative spirit we want to impart to our clients,” says Jérôme Cavadini, Chief Operating Officer of Panerai.

Celebrated for its exceptional performance, ceramic has become a cornerstone of Panerai’s high-tech material portfolio, introduced for the first time in 2007 with the Radiomir Black Seal Ceramica PAM00292. Its lightweight nature ensures remarkable wearability, while its strong resistance to high temperatures, corrosion and scratches guarantees long-lasting durability. But it is in the creation of Panerai cases that the Maison truly demonstrates its expertise, transforming ceramic into intricate and highly functional professional tool watches and resulting in timepieces that capture the Maison’s sporting yet sophisticated essence.

 The complexity of Panerai’s case design, with its multiple rounded surfaces and emblematic components like the crown guard and lever, is meticulously manufactured to ensure elevated water resistance, achieving up to 30 bar (~300 meters) for the PAM01460. Each timepiece has been rigorously tested, subjecting it to a pressure 25% greater than the guaranteed water resistance value to guarantee it meets Panerai’s stringent standards.

Maintaining these features in a high-tech material like ceramic, demands an unparalleled level of technicity and advanced manufacturing processes, an expertise that Panerai guards within its Manufacture in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Furthermore, extensive research and development have been conducted to reinforce the case’s most exposed and delicate parts, including the lugs. These refinements ensure that the lugs, which experience the most stress during everyday wear, meet Panerai standards for shock resistance.

The Panerai Luminor GMT Ceramica PAM01460 presents a sophisticated, all-black aesthetic. Encased in 40mm of black ceramic, it features Panerai’s signature sun-brushed sandwich dial in black, with luminous numerals and markers in white Super-LumiNova® X2 for enhanced legibility. A subtle nod to Panerai’s Italian heritage is the “BiTempo” inscription on the dial, the Italian term for “dual time”. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

PAM01460 is powered by the automatic P.900/GMT movement, a caliber renowned for its reliability with a 3-day power reserve. The caliber, visible through the smoked sapphire crystal open case back, integrates expansive function within the confines of remarkably streamlined proportions, measuring 12½ lignes (28.2mm) in diameter and only 5.20 mm thick. The energy necessary to accumulate a power reserve of three days is delivered by a bidirectional oscillating weight and stored in a single barrel. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Its balance wheel, oscillating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, is securely fixed in position by a balance cock. The caliber is equipped with a stop-second function that enables precise time setting. Its GMT complication with a 12-hour display is a return to the Maison’s heritage, echoing some of the earliest models developed in the early 2000s. This feature adds a new dimension to the watch’s usability, especially for those who track multiple time zones, the quintessential complication for the most cosmopolitan of explorers.

Available in boutiques starting from October 2025, PAM01460 is complemented by a supple black calf leather strap and an additional black rubber strap, equipped with the PAM Click Release System™ on both strap and buckle, requiring no tool for easy changes, making it versatile for various occasions and styles.

As the Official Sponsor for Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli since 2019, Panerai has continued to deepen a relationship of mutual passion for sport and sailing.​ Over the course of this partnership, Panerai has been committed to designing a series of technical timepieces, each reflecting the progress and challenges faced in competitive sailing.​

Panerai is thrilled to announce that they will once again stand side by side with Luna Rossa as Official Sponsor of the team, forging ahead on their journey to conquer the 38th America’s Cup in the vibrant city of Naples. This edition marks a historic occasion as the competition will be sailed for the first time ever in Italy, under the watchful shadow of Mt Vesuvius and just off the waterfront of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Pushing new boundaries in performance, facing one’s limits and embracing the adrenaline of overcoming challenges - all in the glory of the sea. The modern heroes of Luna Rossa team epitomize Panerai’s core values as purveyors of Italian excellence.

"With a legacy tied to the world of the sea and pushing limits, we are delighted to announce the renewal of our partnership with the Luna Rossa team. As Panerai continues its pursuit of creating precision tools through cutting-edge research, innovative materials, and advanced technology, the sailing team charges ahead on its journey to conquer the apex of elite sailing sport, the America’s Cup. We are honored to stand alongside these modern heroes, providing them with timepieces that not only echo the technical precision and performance they demand but also embody our shared passion for embracing challenges and going beyond limits”, says Emmanuel Perrin, CEO of Panerai.

Marking the 3rd America’s Cup campaign of this partnership, the Maison introduces two new Luminor novelties to the Luna Rossa collection – the Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 and the Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653. Highly performing mechanical timepieces, tested for the toughest conditions to ensure reliability, durability and functionality, drawing inspiration from Panerai’s rooted connection with the marine world and Luna Rossa’s striking aesthetics and visual identity.

Key elements of the Luminor collection remain steadfast, from the signature crownprotecting device with lever - a distinctive feature that defines Panerai’s identity and storied history - to the luminous dial, offering optimal readability in all conditions. The rhodium small seconds display further supports performance by allowing users to verify functionality with ease. The references utilize the Super-LumiNova® X1 on markers and hands, ensuring the watch is easily readable even in low-light conditions - an ode to the crucial feature for military naval missions.

PAM01653 is crafted from premium AISI 316LVM - 1.4441 stainless steel, known for its strength and corrosion resistance. It is vacuum arc remelted to maximize purity and therefore it improves the resistance to corrosion. This high-quality alloy consists of iron with a chromium content of 17.0-19.0%, 13.0-15.0% of nickel, and 2.5-3.2% molybdenum for the main alloying elements. This variant is interesting as it is remelted, providing the alloy a high level of cleanliness and a high microstructure homogeneity; thus, resulting in a superior polished finish and enhanced corrosion resistance. Polished and brushed finishes emphasise further the timepieces’ design as well as Panerai’s longstanding watchmaking expertise.

"With Panerai we have embarked on a shared journey in the name of boundary-pushing performance and an endless pursuit of excellence in our endeavours. We are excited to extend our partnership cementing further our bond in view of the 38th America’s Cup, the third consecutive we will be experiencing together as a wholesays Max Sirena, the team’s Skipper and Director.

Water resistant up to 10 bar (~100 meters), each watch has been rigorously tested, subjecting it to a pressure 25% greater than the guaranteed water resistance value to ensure it meets Panerai’s stringent standards.

The Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654, a limited edition of 150 pieces, boasts a Titanium 44mm case, emphasizing the robustness and boldness that define Panerai’s tool watches. This material is much lighter than steel, known for its strength, comparable with that of steel but with 44% less weight, making the watch more comfortable on the wrist and thus an ideal choice for those who prioritize both resilience and comfort. It is resistant to corrosion and physical wear, providing robustness and longevity for everyday use.

Powered by the P.9100 caliber, Panerai’s first automatic movement with chronograph functions, it is designed to meet Panerai’s stringent mechanical standards. It incorporates the flyback chronograph function, with tachymeter scale for nautical use. This key feature allows the chronograph hands to reset to zero and restart instantly with a single press. This eliminates the need for the traditional three-step process of stopping, resetting and restarting. The push-button operates the flyback function at 8 o’clock, which also resets the hands to zero when the chronograph is stopped. The pusher is marked by R for reset and F for flyback with red lacquered details to add a dynamic flair.

The caliber is also characterized by a vertical clutch and column wheel mechanism, with chronograph minutes displayed by a central hand that jumps forward every 60 seconds. Equipped with two patented mechanisms, the movement boasts a 72-hour power reserve, achieved through twin spring barrels in series. These longer, thinner springs ensure a more consistent and extended energy supply. The caliber is visible through a sapphire crystal open case back. Boasting a grey matt-tone sandwich dial, PAM01654 embodies the bold and technical ethos of Luna Rossa team and is accented with striking red details and the team decal. The sub-dials are thoughtfully positioned for symmetric balance and readability, while the red chronograph hands add a dynamic touch. PAM01654 has a black and grey bi-material strap with the emblematic ‘Luna Rossa’ stripe and an additional black rubber strap.

For a functional and stylish timepiece that brings the world of professional sailing to everyday wear, Panerai introduces the Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653. The sporty-casual design is encapsulated in a 44mm case with Panerai’s distinctive crown-protecting device and a minimalist grey sandwich dial. The engraved indices and clean layout emphasize legibility and functionality with the Luna Rossa decal positioned at 6 o’clock and the smallsecond sub-dial at 9 o’clock, while subtle red accents represent the team’s hues.

The new timepiece is powered by the P.6000 calibre, a hand-wound movement with a threeday power reserve. It measures 15½ lignes in diameter and features a balance wheel that oscillates at 21,600 vibrations per hour. A traversing balance bridge that securely positions the oscillator enhances the movement’s stability and precision. Additionally, the P.6000 includes a stop-second function, which halts the balance wheel and seconds hand when the winding crown is pulled out, allowing for precise time adjustments.

PAM01653 is complemented by a black and grey bi-material strap with the emblematic ‘Luna Rossa’ stripe as well as a second black rubber strap.

The history of Panerai and Luna Rossa Team partnership

Panerai’s journey with the America’s Cup, a symbol of nautical excellence and innovation, marks a significant chapter in its storied history. The relationship began in 2017, when Panerai stepped into the sailing sport elite and became an Official Partner of the prestigious sailing competition and the sponsor of the Oracle Team USA and Softbank Team Japan. Becoming the Official Sponsor of Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli for the first time in 2019, it was during the 36th America’s Cup presented by Prada, held in the Hauraki Gulf of Auckland in 2021, that Panerai culminated its nautical ties with the team. This partnership emerged naturally for a brand like Panerai that makes performance and technological innovation its distinctive flags. Over all these years of cherished partnership Panerai has relentlessly developed collections of technical watches, one for each year of preparation in the run-up to the ultimate challenge, either drawing inspiration from the technologies and materials used in the America’s Cup or from the insights and needs of the Luna Rossa team. This collaboration intersects with all the pillars of the Panerai identity, embodying Italian DNA, the Maison’s deep-rooted connection to the marine world, and its commitment to crafting instruments for modern heroes. Watches engineered by the Maison’s Laboratorio di Idee at the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel and tested for the toughest conditions, epitomizing the brand’s dedication to durability, reliability, and functionality.
