Panerai Uncompromisingly Reduces Size: Luminor GMT Ceramica 40mm Officine Panerai proudly expands its Luminor collection with the Luminor GMT Ceramica PAM01460. This striking new watch combines the brand's iconic design with a more compact, wearable 40mm case. Crafted from black ceramic, it seamlessly blends the durability of a professional tool watch with refined Italian aesthetics.
Sleek 40mm Ceramic Case The new Luminor GMT Ceramica marks the first time the iconic Luminor design has been presented in a 40mm ceramic case, offering a versatile size to suit a wide range of wrist shapes. The case features a sandblasted finish, contrasting with the refined polished details on the bezel and iconic crown guard.
Despite its smaller size, this watch lives up to the brand's reputation for toughness and is water-resistant to 300 meters. Adhering to Panerai's stringent standards, each watch is tested at depths exceeding 25% of its rated depth to ensure exceptional reliability under pressure.
Dial: Practical and Luminous The PAM01460 watch features a black sunburst dial that seamlessly integrates with the ceramic case. Panerai's signature sandwich dial construction allows the Super-LumiNova X2 coating beneath the dial to shine through the skeletonized hour markers and small seconds hand, ensuring excellent legibility in low-light conditions.
The dial layout is balanced, simple, and functional. The date display is at 3 o'clock, while the inscription "BiTempo" (Italian for "dual time zone") at 6 o'clock signifies the 12-hour GMT hand that tracks a second time zone. All hands, including the small seconds hand, are coated with Super-LumiNova for optimal legibility at night.
Movement: P.900/GMT Automatic The smoked sapphire crystal caseback reveals the P.900/GMT automatic movement powering the watch. This in-house movement boasts a 72-hour power reserve, making it suitable for weekend wear. Its exquisite craftsmanship perfectly complements Panerai's utilitarian DNA, and the movement's simple architecture is clearly visible through the dark caseback.
Strap Choices and Easily Interchangeable The Panerai Luminor GMT Ceramica watch comes with two straps: a black calfskin strap for everyday wear and a rubber strap ideal for sports or water activities. Panerai's PAM strap release system allows for easy, tool-free strap changes, while the sandblasted DLC titanium buckle makes switching between the two straps a breeze.
A milestone for the Luminor collection The Luminor GMT Ceramica PAM01460 marks a significant milestone for Panerai, marking the first 40mm Luminor watch crafted from ceramic. It embodies the brand's hallmark design qualities—robustness, legibility, and distinctiveness—in a more wearable size without sacrificing performance and character.
