With a diameter of only 38 mm or 42 mm, the new Luminor Due 3 Days Automatic has the unmistakable Panerai design in six new versions suitable for every wrist and situation.
The Luminor Due is the thinnest and most versatile of Panerai’s creations. Its elegant, logical design, with pure, minimalist lines, is the result of a sophisticated technical reworking of the historic Luminor design. This has transformed an icon of high-quality sports watchmaking into a new classic, suitable for every wrist and situation but always immediately recognizable with its powerful Panerai identity.
Panerai presents the new Luminor Due 3 Days Automatic models, with the stainless steel or red gold case, in sizes of 42 mm and – for the first time – only 38 mm in diameter. These dimensions and characteristics make these watches extremely versatile, as does the new range of colours for the dials and straps of each new model.
These new Luminor Due 3 Days Automatic watches are fitted with the OP XXXIV Manufacture calibre, with automatic winding and a power reserve of three days, the basic standard of Panerai’s movements. The dial design – with large luminous figures in the purest Panerai style, small seconds counter and, for the first time in this collection, the date window – ensures the legendary legibility which has been an essential characteristic of the brand since the first example created in the 1930s. Mounted on the caseband of all the models is the bridge device with lever which protects the winding crown from accidental shocks, evoking the glorious history of Panerai watches, which lives again today in this new contemporary interpretation.
