Introducing: Panerai Unveils Six New Luminor, Luminor Due, and Quaranta Models on Bracelet

Panerai introduces six new metal bracelet creations in its Luminor, Luminor Due, and Quaranta collections. The new metal bracelets contribute to the brand’s enduring legacy of innovation in watchmaking. The new metal bracelet features a progressive ‘V-shape’ design that tapers from the case to the buckle, offering enhanced comfort and a lighter feel, perfect for everyday wear. Three of the metal Bracelets feature a polished steel case and bezel and, for a touch of luxury, two others feature a 42 mm Panerai Goldtech case and matching polished bezel.

Marking a new era in the design of its most emblematic lines. Contributing to the enduring legacy of innovation in watchmaking, the latest metal bracelet capsule exudes comfort and versatility. First introduced in 1999, the metal bracelets —on its fourth generation by now— initiated a continuous journey of innovation in functionality, comfort, and aesthetics, which progressed with a new improved version in 2008 and 2017 —a lighter, screwless version, combining the best elements of its previous designs to enhance both form and function.

This year, the new metal bracelet tapers from the case to the buckle, offering enhanced comfort and a lighter feel, perfect for everyday wear. Its aesthetic is characterized by a combination of different finishes —brushed on the larger links and polished on the edges and central links— creating a three-dimensional effect as the light hits the bracelet in different ways. The novelties boast a sandwich dial construction, one of the most emblematic traits in Panerai DNA, made of two superimposed plates for high and long visibility in all light conditions.​

The new Luminor and Luminor Due Metal Bracelet collection is available at Panerai boutiques worldwide and on Panerai.com. The Luminor Due TuttoOro PAM01442 is only available at select Panerai boutiques.


Panerai Luminor Due PAM01508, PAM01539 and PAM01387

Three of the metal Bracelets, Luminor Due PAM01508, PAM01539, and PAM01387, feature a polished steel case and bezel. The PAM01508 is distinguished by its white sun-brushed sandwich dial adorned with beige SuperLumiNova, and the PAM01539 is distinguished by its burgundy sun-brushed dial —both feature a closed case back. In contrast, the PAM01387 boasts an anthracite sun-brushed sandwich dial with white SuperLumiNova, exuding a contemporary yet equally refined aesthetic. These three watches in white, red, and grey dials, come with a second strap and a pin steel buckle included in the packaging —pink satin calf for the 38 mm model and black rubber for the 42 mm models— both featuring PAM Click Release System for an easy and quick strap change. ​
