Introducing Panerai's new watches for 2025!

Panerai unveiled its new watches for 2025 at Watches & Wonders Geneva. From the new Luminor Marina to the mechanical planetarium, keep your eyes peeled for the shining faces of Panerai watchmaking.

"Luminor Marina"

　A new collection will be added to the iconic Luminor Marina, which has built the foundation of Panerai. While maintaining the core identity of the Luminor Marina in terms of design and other elements, various updates have been incorporated.

　While maintaining the design codes of the Luminor Marina, such as the case shape, lever-lock crown protector, thick lugs, pencil-shaped hands, and sandwich dial, the dial features a simple design with only the Panerai logo and model name. Furthermore, a small seconds dial at the 9 o'clock position and a date display at the 3 o'clock position were originally requested by the Italian Navy, which had a deep connection with the birth of the Luminor Marina. The sandwich dial is made of Super-LumiNova X2, which is being used for the first time in the Panerai collection, further improving visibility in dark places.

　The case measures 44mm in diameter and is water-resistant to 500m, the highest level in the series' history. This is made possible by the new AISI316LVM 1.4441 stainless steel, which is classified as medical-grade and offers excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and resilience to stress.

　The watch is equipped with the automatic movement Cal. P.980, which features a traverse balance bridge, ensuring stability and accuracy while providing a power reserve of approximately 3 days (approximately 72 hours).

　Finally, thanks to the revamped movement and accompanying revision of the case proportions, the thickness has been reduced by 12% and the weight by 15%, making this a welcome update for fans who were concerned about the thickness and weight of the previous model.

　The stainless steel models available for the debut include the black (PAM03312) that has been inherited from the original model, the blue (PAM03313), a popular color in recent years, the refreshing white (PAM03314), and a light blue model (PAM03323) that comes with a bracelet. The bracelet has a three-dimensional effect thanks to a combination of satin and polished finishes and is equipped with a quick length adjustment system, allowing you to fine-tune the bracelet length to suit your physical condition, the weather, and your outfit.

"Luminor Marina Titanio"

　Based on the newly announced Luminor Marina, a titanium model called the Luminor Marina Titanio will also be added. The case is made of grade 5 titanium and is paired with a sunray-finish green dial and a strap of the same color. The Super-LumiNova X2 peeking through the sandwich dial is gray, creating a calm and refreshing impression.

　Panerai's use of titanium dates back to the 1980s, when they were developing the prototype "Millemetrie," which had an extremely high water resistance of 100 bar, and has since reintroduced it to the civilian model "Submersible Ref. PAM00025" in 1998. Titanium has a history of being used in naval equipment, which inevitably comes into contact with seawater, due to its high corrosion resistance and strength, and it can be said to be linked to Panerai's tradition of producing robust tool watches that can withstand extreme conditions.

Luminor Perpetual Calendar GMT PlatinumTech™

　Panerai has announced the Luminor Perpetual Calendar GMT Platinum Tech™, a watch with a GMT function and perpetual calendar in a case crafted from Platinum Tech™, the company's finest material. While maintaining the traditional design codes of the Luminor Marina, the watch features a sapphire crystal dial, allowing the calendar to be viewed in action. While typical perpetual calendar mechanisms require complex controls and careful consideration and knowledge, this model's notable feature allows intuitive operation with just the crown.

　This functionality is achieved by the automatic movement, Cal. P4100. It has a power reserve of approximately three days (approximately 72 hours) and is wound by an off-center gold micro-rotor. The case back also features year, month, leap year, and power reserve indicators. Operation is via the crown, with no blackout periods, even at the end of the month when trouble is more likely to occur, and the ability to smoothly change the date forward and backward makes for a user-friendly system. Furthermore, the watch features Panerai's patented date shock protection system, which stabilizes the date disc, improving its accuracy and ensuring durability against wear during use.

　The case material, PlatinumTech™, is 95% platinum, but thanks to special processing it is 40% harder than standard platinum, making it more scratch-resistant. It is also 33% heavier than 18K gold, giving it a substantial weight that further embodies the exclusivity of this watch.

Mechanical planetarium "Jupiterium"

　Panerai has unveiled the Jupiterium, a mechanical planetarium watch that embodies its technical know-how and innovation. This watch was created as a tribute to the scientific spirit of Galileo Galilei, the Italian pioneering physicist. It recreates the movement of the universe, a discovery made known to humanity thanks to Galileo's discoveries, through a mechanism that incorporates the knowledge of mechanical watches.

　Let's explain Galileo's discoveries once again. In 1610, Galileo used astronomical observations to find evidence that the Earth is not the center of the universe, overturning the long-held geocentric theory. Through these observations, Galileo discovered Jupiter's four moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. In other words, he confirmed that not all celestial bodies revolve around the Earth, but that there are moons orbiting certain celestial bodies, and used this as evidence that the Earth also moves in a similar manner.

　Inspired by this historical fact, this work was developed as a challenge to recreate "the movements of celestial bodies that proved the heliocentric theory to astronomers." Models that mimic the movement of celestial bodies generally have the sun at their center, but because Jupiterium is based on this historical fact, it is centered on the Earth and displays the positions of the sun, moon, Jupiter, and Jupiter's four moons as the other celestial bodies rotate.

　Earth and Jupiter orbit the Sun, and Jupiter's moons orbit Jupiter. Jupiter is located further out than Earth, and as Earth moves past Jupiter, it appears to be moving backward when observed from Earth. This work recreates the movement of celestial bodies as seen from Earth, and uses a mechanism combining gears and counterweights to recreate the deceleration, reversal, and forward movement of Jupiter as seen from Earth.

　This watch's mechanism reproduces the movements of these celestial bodies while simultaneously running a perpetual calendar, all powered by a single source of energy. The power source is a mainspring wound by eight barrels, each key-wound. The eight barrels together measure a total of 32 meters, giving the watch a power reserve of approximately 40 days.

　Jupiterium is also housed within a transparent sphere, which is decorated with constellations, representing the starry sky as seen from the Earth in the center.
