LUMINOR

Luminor

Radiomir and Luminor are highly popular and well-known as Panerai's core collections, but the big difference between the two is the crown design. In modern times, "screw-in type lock crown" is common, but Luminor uses "lock lever type crown protector". This protector is water resistant and protects the crown from damage caused by impact. The crown protector engraved with "REG.TM", which indicates that it is Panerai's patent, is a symbolic design of Luminor.

Luminor was developed in the 1950s as a military watch based on Radiomir. However, since it was initially designated as a military secret, it is not sold to the general public. Introduced in 1993 as Panerai's first civilian wristwatch, Luminor quickly gained popularity.
Since then, Panerai watches have become highly regarded in the field of luxury sports watches.
Luminor is also known as one of the symbolic figures that caused the large wristwatch boom of the 1990s.

Luminor has been developing various variations as Panerai's flagship model since it was first sold to the private sector. In addition to the simple model with only two hands and the model with date display, we also have a lineup of models with excellent functionality such as "Luminol 8 Days GMT" equipped with a power reserve of 8 days and GMT hands. We are also developing models equipped with complicated mechanisms such as chronographs, and there are a wide variety of concepts.
As for the case, models using black ceramic and gold as materials are available, and there are a wide variety of sizes available. It is also attractive that you can choose your favorite one from various variations.
