Panerai Luminor Marina

Panerai Luminor Marina watches are real gems on the wrist. They are still in great demand by collectors and watch enthusiasts. This is due not only to the high-quality processing of exquisite materials and the high-recognition value of the watches but also to the history of the Panerai Luminor Marina.

These chronographs, equipped with either a manual wind or an automatic calibre, were originally developed for combat divers in the Italian Navy. This heritage is evident in the special equipment and design of the series which is very much based on its historical predecessors: the hour and minute hands, as well as the dial indices and numbers, are coated with self-luminous Luminor. This was patented in 1949.

The crown-protecting bridge and the angular case design of the watches are also characteristic features. If that's not retro enough, the Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 will delight you even more. Here, the original pillow-shaped design was retained but strikingly emphasised to give a more vintage look. In addition, these models are labelled 'REG. T.M.' on the crown-protecting bridge, a detail missing from other Luminor models.

Although Panerai has remained true to its classic watch design with the Luminor Marina range, this Italian luxury watch manufacturer also offers interesting variants and equipment options so that the watches can be personalised in appearance.

While some models have an additional date display at 3 o'clock others, such as the Panerai Luminor Marina 8 Days Oro Rosso, offer a rose gold case. Panerai also has variants in terms of the case diameter while maintaining everything else true to the model: the Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic Acciaio with a case diameter of 42mm is comparatively slim, making it a popular choice for women.

The dials of the series vary from classic black to delicate shimmering brown or cream and white. Many of the models with a black or brown dial also have the sandwich dial which has become a feature of the Panerai Luminor Marina range: the visible dial is set on a disc completely covered with Luminor. This is visible through the punched-out numbers and indices, allowing you to read the time even in the dark.

Different bracelets and clasps are available for the Panerai Luminor Marina, like the sporty rubber straps. Alls variations impress with their well-thought-out designs and elaborate details. The manufacturer has expanded its range of calf and alligator leather bracelets to include stainless steel ones: the appearance of each chain link is inspired by the legendary protective device of the winding crown. They are strung together without screws, resulting in an ergonomic shape which is flexible on the wrist.

In addition to the Luminor Marina range, Panerai's portfolio also includes other collections of exciting models. These historic lines also include the Radiomir and the Luminor Submersible. At CHRONEXT, you will find these and other watches from this Italian manufacturer at affordable prices.
