Panerai's Mediteranean Experience
The lissome ballet of the bottle nosed dolphins as they dive, dance and ride the waves of the Ionian sea is hynotic; the majestic Eilean breathily heaves in determined chase as we sprawl across its polished Burmese teak deck, bubbling prosecco by the side, armed with cameras in focus, waiting to populate a perpetually hungry Instagram feed. Under the warm Sicilian sun, cruising off the coast of Taormina, with the grand dame Mt Etna, benignly chilling in the distance, it could have been just another idyllic travel memory. Instead, the sparkling moment is just one of many specially curated and created by the luxury watch brand Panerai for its Experiences Program.

Panerai renews Luna Rossa partnership with new new Luminor timepieces
As the continued official sponsor of Italian sailing team Luna Rossa, Panerai introduces two new Luminor novelties to the Luna Rossa collection, namely the Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 and the Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653. Image courtesy of Panerai. Both of these additions are highly performing mechanical timepieces which have been tested for the toughest conditions to ensure reliability, durability and functionality — taking inspiration from Panerai's rooted connection with the marine world and Luna Rossa's striking aesthetics and visual identity. You'll find key elements of the Luminor collection in both watches, from the distinctive signature crown-protecting device with lever to the luminous dial, that offers optimal readability in all conditions. Further supporting performance is the rhodium small seconds display which allows you to verify functionality with ease. Image courtesy of Panerai. The watch is also easily readable even in low-light conditions, thanks to the Super-LumiNova X1 on the markers and hands. For the sporty casual Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653, you'll find that it is crafted from the premium AISI 316LVM – 1.4441 stainless steel, which is known for its strength and corrosion resistance. It is essentially vacuum arc remelted to maximise purity and improve resistance to corrosion. Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653. Image courtesy of Panerai. Each PAM01653 watch has been rigorously tested too, ensuring that it has guaranteed water resistance value that meets Panerai's stringent standards. On the other hand, the limited edition Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 is made with a Titanium 44mm case, which is a material that is much lighter than steel, making the watch more comfortable on the wrist. It is also resistant to corrosion and physical wear, providing you with longevity for everyday use. Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654. Image courtesy of Panerai. Powered by the P.9100 caliber, the PAM01654 incorporates the flyback chronograph function with tachymeter scale for nautical use; allowing the chronograph hands to reset to zero and restart instantly with a single press. Over on the design front, the PAM01654 features a grey matt-tone sandwich dial which embodies the bold and technical ethos of the Luna Rossa team, and is accented with striking red details and the team decal. Both timepieces are now available at Panerai boutiques in Singapore.

A Venerated Italian Brand's Stunning New Sailing Watch Revives Classic Mechanical Magic
Panerai's latest Luminor references honor the brand's ongoing support of the America's Cup-contending Luna Rossa team. Every product is carefully selected by our editors. If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn more Sports cars. Motorcycles. Leather shoes. These are the types of high-end products we typically associate with Italy. But when it comes to luxury goods, the boot-shaped nation is hardly limited to those categories. Just look at Panerai. Founded by Giovanni Panerai in Florence, Italy in 1860, the brand really blossomed early the following century, when it began supplying technical equipment and precision instruments to the Italian Navy — including gun sights illuminated by Radiomir. From 1935 to 1970, the brand teamed up with Rolex to produce high-performance dive watches for the Navy, eventually replacing Radiomir with the safer, tritium-powered Luminor. And while Panerai is now headquartered in Geneva (where else?), its watches still boast a unique Italian flair. The Luminor collection leads the line for Panerai, and the latest reference upholds that proud tradition in exemplary fashion. The latest example? The glorious new Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa Titanio, one of two new Luminor references celebrating Panerai's continuing sponsorship of the Luna Rossa team. These watches are particularly special because the 38th America's Cup challenge will take place in Naples, bringing sailing's most prestigious competition to Italy for the first time. Currently offering dozens of references, the Luminor collection leads the line for Panerai, and the latest references uphold that proud tradition in exemplary fashion. Classic elements include the signature crown-protecting device with lever, luminous dial, rhodium small seconds display and Super-LumiNova X1 on markers and hands, making the watch easy to read in low light, a nod to the brand's naval background. Limited to 150 examples, the Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa Titanio features a 44mm case made of titanium, making it comparable to steel in strength but 44 percent lighter, plus resistant to corrosion and wear and generally optimized for long-time usage. Designed to meet strict mechanical standards, the watch is powered by the brand's first automatic movement with chronograph functions, the P.9100 caliber, visible through the sapphire crystal open case back. A key feature is the flyback chronograph, with tachymeter scale for nautical use, enabling the chronograph hands to reset to zero and restart instantly with one button press. This movement also boasts a 72-hour power reserve and a vertical clutch and column wheel mechanism, with chronograph minutes displayed by a central hand that jumps forward every 60 seconds. The sandwich dial is an understated grey matt-tone accented with red details and the Luna Rossa team decal. The symmetrically positioned subdials are easy to read, and the red chronograph hands offer their own distinctive pop. The PAM01654 comes on a black and grey bi-material strap featuring the Luna Rossa stripe. An additional black rubber strap comes with the watch as well. For those seeking similar vibes at a more accessible price point, Panerai has simultaneously introduced a simplified sibling, the Luminor Tre Giorni Luna Rossa (PAM01653). While it retains many of the trademark Luminor and Luna Rossa touches, one primary difference is the case. Also measuring 44mm, it is made of stainless steel, remelted for an impressive polished finish and increased corrosion resistance. Powering this option is the P.6000 caliber, a hand-wound movement with a three-day power reserve. Measuring 15½ lignes in diameter, it features a balance wheel that oscillates at 21,600 vibrations per hour. Adding to the precision is a traversing balance bridge that securely positions the oscillator. The P.6000 offers a hacking (aka stop-second) function. It pauses the balance wheel and seconds hand when the winding crown is pulled out, which enables precise time adjustments. Limited to 150 examples, the Panerai Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa Titanio (PAM01654) is available now for $16,400. The Panerai Luminor Tre Giorni Luna Rossa (PAM01653), meanwhile, costs $6,900. $16,400 at Panerai Now managing editor, Steve has served in a variety of roles with GP since 2019.

Panerai Unveils 2 Luminor Watches As Official Sponsor Of Luna Rossa
The Panerai Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 Panerai will continue its role as Official Sponsor of Luna Rossa, the Italian sailboat racing team, as it competes in the 38th America's Cup, with the finals set for Naples, Italy, in 2027. The relationship between Panerai, the Italian watch brand known for its high-performance seafaring timepieces, and Luna Rossa began in 2019 as the team prepared for the 36th America's Cup in Auckland in 2021 and continued through Barcelona 2024. Marking the third America's Cup campaign of this partnership, Panerai introduced two new Luminor novelties to the Luna Rossa collection: the Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 and the Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653. The Luminor collection is known for its signature crown protection device with lever and its luminous dial, offering optimal readability in all conditions. The rhodium small seconds display allows users to verify functionality. Panerai uses the Super-LumiNova X1 on markers and hands, which the watchmaker says ensures the watch is easily readable even in low-light conditions. This is a crucial feature for military naval missions as the watch brand is historically known for supplying timepieces for the Italian navy and other military forces. Panerai Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 This watch is available in a limited edition of 150 pieces. It has a 44mm titanium case, a lightweight metal known for its strength and durability. It is resistant to corrosion and physical wear, providing robustness and longevity. The watch is water resistant up to 10 bar (approximately 100 meters), with each watch subjected to a pressure 25% greater than the guaranteed water resistance value to meet Panerai's standards. The watch is powered by the P.9100 caliber, Panerai's first automatic movement with chronograph functions. It incorporates the flyback chronograph function, with tachymeter scale for nautical use. This feature allows the chronograph hands to reset to zero and restart instantly with a single press. This eliminates the need for the traditional three-step process of stopping, resetting and restarting. The push-button operates the flyback function at 8 o'clock, which also resets the hands to zero when the chronograph is stopped. The pusher is marked by R for reset and F for flyback with red lacquered details. The caliber is also characterized by a vertical clutch and column wheel mechanism with chronograph minutes displayed by a central hand that jumps forward every 60 seconds. Equipped with two patented mechanisms, the movement has a 72-hour power reserve, achieved through twin spring barrels in series. The caliber is visible through a sapphire crystal caseback. The caseback of the Panerai Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 The two-lawyer 'sandwich' dial is in a gray matt finish. It is accented with red details and the Luna Rossa team decal. The subdials are positioned for symmetric balance and readability. The watch is completed with a black and gray bi-material strap with the 'Luna Rossa' stripe and an additional black rubber strap. Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653 PAM01653 The 44mm case of this watch is crafted from AISI 316LVM - 1.4441 stainless steel, known for its strength and corrosion resistance, Panerai said. It is vacuum arc remelted to maximize purity and improve the resistance to corrosion. This alloy consists of iron with a chromium content of 17.0-19.0%, 13.0-15.0% of nickel, and 2.5-3.2% molybdenum for the main alloying elements. The Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653 Like the previous timepiece, this watch is water resistant up to 10 bar (approximately 100 meters), with the same test standards of being subjected to a pressure 25% greater than the guaranteed water resistance value. This sporty-casual watch also has a minimalist gray sandwich dial. The engraved indices and clean layout emphasize legibility and functionality with the Luna Rossa decal positioned at 6 o'clock and the small seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock. subtle red accents represent the team's colors. The caseback of the Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653 The timepiece is powered by the P.6000 caliber, a hand-wound movement with a three-day power reserve. The balance wheel oscillates at 21,600 vibrations per hour. A traversing balance bridge securely positions the oscillator, enhancing the movement's stability and precision. In addition, the watch has a stop-second function, which halts the balance wheel and seconds hand when the winding crown is pulled out, allowing for precise time adjustments. The watch is complemented with a black and gray bi-material rubber and gray textile strap with the Luna Rossa stripe as well as a second black rubber strap.

Samsung needs to build a Galaxy Watch that looks as good as this mod
TL;DR A Redditor modified a mechanical watch body to fit the electronics from a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. The 40mm Watch 4 was supposedly the only one small enough to fit in the case, which appears to be from a Panerai Luminor watch. Even the crown button is reportedly functional. What's the most customizable device you own? Plenty of us dress up our phones with a case intended to help it stand out, but we might argue that smartwatches place an even higher priority on customization. Alternate bands offer as much variety as cases on phones do, and are much more visible, always out on display. Add to that a nice custom watch face, and you're well on your way to a one-of-a-kind combo. But even our best strap-and-face combo is feeling a little inadequate, as we check out what one Redditor pulled off. Over on Reddit's Galaxy Watch sub, user Signal-Impression-97 shares images of a modified Galaxy Watch 4 that's been tucked into the case of a high-end mechanical watch. According to the poster, they contacted a watchmaker to help them transform their vision into a reality. Although they don't specifically reveal the donor watch in the post, Google Lens tells us this appears to be a Panerai Luminor, with that distinctive protected crown. That crown is even functional, with Signal-Impression-97 confirming that it works for inputs. Apparently they went with this particular Galaxy Watch model due to size concerns, starting with a 40mm edition and dremeling down the body to begin with — not something we'd recommend anyone casually attempting. Confusingly, they repeatedly refer to this as the 'Classic' edition, even though that was only available in 42mm and 46mm sizes, and there doesn't seem to have been any attempt here to preserve the rotating bezel — that's presumably a misstatement where they meant to communicate that they chose the 'basic' model. The big problem with which smartwatch to start with is reportedly size, and our poster claims that it's hard to find good mechanical watch donor bodies that are big enough to fit Samsung's larger Galaxy Watch entries. That sounds reasonable enough, and we imagine it was already quite tricky coming up with a combination that works as well as the pairing we see here.
