Perhaps more than any other watch brand, Panerais offerings are defined by their size. Ask almost any enthusiast to picture a Panerai design, and the first two adjectives that come to mind will likely be Italian and big. In todays climate of compact vintage-inspired sports watches, the brands emphasis on beefy proportions has made it a potentially divisive figure in [...]

Although its catalog has expanded to include a myriad of different styles, materials, and inspirations over the years, Panerai has never created an automatic skeleton watch-until now. Working in partnership with German luxury performance brand BRABUS, known for both its work in the automotive aftermarket and its high-end luxury sport boats, the Italian [...]

Just released by Panerai is the new Luminor Marina Carbotech Blu Notte PAM 1664, a 500-piece limited edition exclusively for the brands e-commerce store. The resilient yet super lightweight watch is done in a 44mm Carbotech case, which is the carbon fiber composite that Panerai has used for the past few years. This is the first time Panerai has matched a Ca [...]

In a world where most sporting pursuits are gradually becoming safer, extreme mountaineering remains a bastion of real danger. Few men understand this better than mountaineer, adventurer, filmmaker, and Panerai brand ambassador Jimmy Chin. Over a career that has seen him ski from the summit of Mount Everest and win an Academy Award for co-directing [...]

A few weeks back at Watches Wonders 2021, we saw Panerai release a new chronograph watch collection, as well as a new chronograph movement. For a brand with a history and design legacy so closely associated with diving to make such an investment in developing its chronographs is a curious, and risky, move. Making something of a value play, the new Panerai Luminor Chrono coll [...]

Perhaps the biggest Watches Wonders news out of the Panerai camp this year was the nearly 100% recycled e-LAB ID Submersible - an open-sourced halo watch whose aim was to prove that the future of circular manufacturing in a more wholly sustainable watch industry wasnt far away. But at $60,000, its an expensive concept piece thats well out of reach for all [...]

For Watches Wonders 2021, Panerai has introduced a trio of brand-new Luminor Chronographs and a limited-edition Luna Rossa that feature a new exclusive chronograph movement that includes a Dubois-Depraz module over an Swiss Made ETA base. Chronographs arent usually front and center for Panerai with the current offerings being restric [...]

Ever since I lifted?the recycled Eco Titanium case and matching recycled nylon strap of the PAM985?off the table at SIHH two years ago, I knew it was only a matter of time before Panerai took the eco-minded challenge to the next level. Well, that day is here with the new Submersible eLAB-ID PAM 1225 - an impressive new concept watch thats built using nearly 99 [...]

One of the great innovations in luxury watchmaking over the past several years has been the wave of durable proprietary case materials, bringing sporty toughness and scratch resistance to a vast array of bespoke carbon compounds and gold alloys. Italian watchmaker Panerai has been a prolific contender in this industry-wide material arms race and, for its latest r [...]

2021 marks the 70th anniversary for Luminor, Panerais patented tritium based lume formula that later lent its name to the Luminor watch series. To celebrate this milestone, the Italian brands first major release of the year is a rugged, mordernist celebration of this signature material designed in concert with champion free diver and Panerai ambass [...]

Written by Ashley Sandeman and edited by Ariel AdamsThe first time I saw a Star Trek replicator, I knew I had to have one. And high on the list of objects Id like to print at home is my own mechanical watch. But despite all the promises of 3D printing technology, miniaturizing metallic parts at a watchmaking scale has remained elusive. Hopes, however, remain high [...]

The Panerai Luminor Due Collection is more than three years-old, but the slimline branch of the famous line is definitely aging gracefully. This update to the Panerai Luminor Due Watch Collection brings together a series of navy blue sunray and matte ecru dials, which look fantastic alongside each other. There is, however [...]

It was 2011 when Panerai first introduced its first bronze-cased (aka Bronzo) watch, which has since become some of the most desirable watches made by the brand. These bronze watches are sporadically introduced by Panerai, which released the Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days PAM 671 two years ago (and its predecessor six yea [...]

It should come as no surprise that the travel and tourism sector remains one of the worlds fastest growing (bookings hit $1.6 trillion in 2017, according to a recent Deloitte report), with an increasingly persistent trend being the value of experiences over things. With the watch industry focused on things, it should come as [...]

Lets get one thing straight: These are far from the most interesting Panerai?watches we saw in their SIHH booth this year. On top of some extremely cool high-complication pieces, the brand also launched a new customer experience concept with its ambassadors - each with a unique and highly limited watch to match. [...]

Luxury watch brands sponsoring sporting events that one fit into a more upper-class lifestyle makes a certain sort of sense. ?I mean, if youve got the coin to spend on, say, the training, equipment, and the like for things like equestrian sports or sailing, well, youre probably not going to be kicking around with your high school calculator watch o [...]

There are few more enthusiastic groups of collectors than the Paneristi. An almost masonic enclave of the watch collecting community, the knowledge and passion of these aficionados is an awe-inspiring thing to behold. And I would guess that the Panerai Submersible Mike Horn Edition will be to their l [...]

Released in 2016, the introduction of the smaller Panerai Submersible 682 was a welcome one for dive watch fans who loved the striking, minimalist aesthetic of Panerais burly flagship titanium diver PAM1389 but couldnt quite handle its 47mm proportions. But for two years, that black dial with the solid sta [...]

This is the year of the Submersible collection and the Carbotech material for Italian watch maker Panerai, and the two watches you see here set the tone for the brands SIHH 2019 releases. Utilizing Panerais trademarked Carbotech material, the?Panerai Submersible Carbotech 42mm PAM 960 and 4 [...]

Back in 2017, Ariel reported on Panerais first use of a new material called BMG-TECH in the PAM 692; this was the first watch featuring the new material to come from the brand. This year for SIHH 2019 Panerai is debuting a new model, the Submersible BMG-TECH PAM 799 which features a case made from, naturally, BMG-TECH but also featuring a Carbotech bezel. [...]
