About the Panerai Luminor Due

Thinness changed two things. The case lost the 300 m rating of the standard Luminor, with 56 of the 63 references here rated to 30 m and 7 to 50 m, and the movements had to be flat. The 45 mm and 42 mm Due of 2016 ran the micro-rotor P.4000 and its GMT version the P.4002, the hand-wound P.1000 sat in the smaller cases, and the 38 mm Due of 2018 introduced the P.900, the slim three-day automatic that is now the collection's most common movement at 35 references, with its moon-phase version in the Luna of 2023. The glossary explains the micro-rotor the P.4000 uses to stay flat.

The 38 mm case accounts for 28 references, the 42 mm for 26 and the 45 mm for 9. Steel is the material of 38 cases, Goldtech, Panerai's red gold alloy, of 11, and titanium and red gold of 5 each. The dials are the collection's other departure: white leads at 21, then grey, blue and silver, and the pastel dials of 2023 make it the lightest-coloured Panerai line here. 59 of the 63 references are automatic and 5 are limited editions.

The Luminor 1950 is the thick case the Due is the answer to, and the Radiomir the other Panerai without a rotating bezel.
