 Bronze, legacy forged by time

A material deeply connected to Panerai’s maritime heritage, bronze embodies the Maison’s spirit of innovation and enduring bond to the sea. ​ Its patina evolves with time as lived, creating a surface as individual as the owner. ​ Every watch ages with a unique identity, becoming a companion shaped by the adventures it experiences.

Following the success of the new Luminor Marina series in steel and titanium, unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2025, Panerai introduces bronze to its most iconic collection for the first time. The new Luminor Marina PAM01678 marks a significant milestone as the first-ever Luminor Marina crafted in bronze, poised to become the Maison’s next highly coveted tool watch.

Historically valued in the construction of vintage yachts and ship components for its durability and resistance to seawater, bronze was a crucial material before the widespread adoption of stainless steel.

Panerai pioneered its use in watchmaking with the Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo 47mm - PAM00382 in 2011, establishing bronze as a natural fit for its timepieces. A similar model in color scheme was released in 2021, the PAM01074 Submersible Bronzo 42mm with a blue dial.

Setting apart from typical watchmaking bronze alloys, Panerai’s bronze boasts a special composition, where the use of pure copper and pure tin promotes the creation of a distinctive patina on the surface. Thanks to this special evolution, this alloy has become a true asset for the Maison, solidifying Panerai’s bronze timepieces as some of the most sought-after.

The aging process of bronze is truly fascinating, as every piece evolves with the owner’s life, acquiring a distinctive appearance: when new, it exhibits a warm, gold-like hue, gradually developing a patina that arises from its interaction with external elements such as air, moisture, heat, and friction. While this patina doesn’t alter the material’s inherent properties, this protective layer imbues each piece with a unique character while safeguarding the material itself.

The Luminor Marina Brnzo PAM01678 exhibits all the signature elements that define the Luminor Marina series, along with the recent upgrades applied to the design and technical features.

Bronze is more than just a material for us: it’s a territory of expression. The new Luminor Marina PAM01678 immediately evokes the world of the sea, blending the design of our most iconic timepiece with a material that embodies our maritime heritage. Its evolving patina allows us to tell a story of time and the sea, ultimately reflecting the wearer’s journey” says Alessandro Ficarelli, Chief Marketing and Product Officer of Panerai.

Key elements remain steadfast: from the signature crown-protecting bridge, originally designed to prevent water seepage from entering the case, to the essential luminescent dial with sandwich construction, offering optimal readability in low-light conditions, until the classic rhodium small seconds display at 9 o’clock born to allow Italian Navy commandos to verify the watch functionality with ease.

The PAM01678’s bronze case is paired with a matte dark blue sandwich dial, shifting from a deep blue at the edges to a lighter tone towards the center. This perfectly complements the warm tones of the bronze case and the beige Super-LumiNova® used to fill the numerals and hands, ensuring the watch readability even in low-light conditions. Drawing inspiration from Panerai’s historic models of the 1960s, the dial is intentionally designed without a date window, displaying only the Maison’s name and ‘Luminor Marina’, resulting in a clean, essential aesthetic.

The open sapphire case back provides a captivating view of the new P.980 calibre, a 3-day power reserve automatic movement developed for precise timekeeping. This movement features a traversing balance bridge, enhancing stability against shocks. A stop-second function allows for precise time-setting by halting the seconds hand when the crown is pulled out.

Further demonstrating its commitment to accuracy, the P.980 has undergone rigorous six-position testing to guarantee reliable chronometric performance. The movement’s construction incorporates finishing touches for an essential design, and it operates at a frequency engineered to maintain consistent, accurate timekeeping over extended use. PAM01678 showcases the modernized case design of the new Luminor Marina collection, where the calibre’s sleeker proportions, measuring just 12½ lignes, guarantee a comfortable and ergonomic experience on the wrist, all while preserving the watch’s signature bold identity.

Like the other new Luminor Marina timepieces, the Luminor Marina Bronzo PAM01678 boasts upgraded water resistance up to 50 bar (~500 meters), reinforcing Panerai’s legacy of professional tool watches developed for the demanding needs of the Italian Navy commandos. This evolution is also made possible by the compact architecture of the P.980 movement, which allowed for improved proportions and weight of the watch.

These advancements, alongside innovations in case construction and pressure resistance, contribute to enhanced water resistance. Water resistance is a domain mastered by the Panerai Laboratorio di Idee, with rigorous testing conducted in water – a practice few brands undertake – at a pressure 25% greater than the guaranteed water resistance value.

The new PAM01678 features the Luminor Marina new streamlined lugs, and it is presented on a blue calf leather strap with beige stitching, a nod to vintage construction techniques that enhance the timepiece’s overall vintage aesthetic. An additional blue rubber strap is also included, offering a sporty, water-friendly alternative.

Available exclusively in Panerai Boutiques and Retail partners, the Panerai Luminor Marina PAM01678 is the new must-have tool watch designed for the assertive, self-assured individual who values a timepiece with both heritage and purpose.

Panerai x Revolution Luminor Marina Carbotech "Destro" PAM01708 Edition

 

OFFICINE PANERAI x RevolutionPAM01708 Luminor Marina Carbotech™ "Destro44mm Black 20th Anniversary Edition - 2025

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.

Panerai Ref. 6152/1 with Luminor dial and Angelus 240 8-days movement.

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

 PAM00026 Re-Run

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

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

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. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

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. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

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. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

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.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

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.
