THE MOOD OF THE OCEAN
The Florentine watchmaker is banking on a new diameter to fit all types of wrists, on three classic dial colors and on its quick-change strap system to sail through life according to your mood.
The Luminor Marina is impressive with its unique look defined by its cushion-shaped case, its perfectly identifiable crown guard and its famous “sandwich” dial. It is now available in a version with dimensions adapted to all types of wrists. With the new Luminor Marina Quaranta, Panerai introduces a 40mm inclusive diameter that replaces the 42mm and becomes the smallest of the collection. To mark this milestone, the Florentine brand presents a trio of timepieces in bright, classic colors.
The steel case is water-resistant to 100 meters and houses the P.900 caliber, a mechanical movement with automatic winding (4hz) that delivers a 3 days power reserve, like most Panerai watches. On the dial side, it brings to life the central hours and minutes, the small seconds in a counter at 9 o’clock, and the date in an aperture at 3 o’clock.
Three face colors are offered – sunray blue (PAM01270), matte white (PAM01271) and matte black (PAM01272) – with silvered baton-style hands and hour markers coated with white, putty-colored or green Super-LumiNova® depending on the version chosen. Only PAM01272 features a blued seconds hand. The date is also adapted to this color chart by being displayed in black or white on a light or dark background.
Each Luminor Marina Quaranta comes with two leather straps, alligator and calfskin, with pin buckles, which are easily interchangeable thanks to a special system that requires no tools.
