Panerai Stainless Steel Luminor Due Luna Rossa Watch 38mm

What’s in a name? Where Panerai is concerned, it holds decades of meaning. The Luminor watch refers to the luminescent compound that was patented by the Italian horologist in 1949, allowing the Italian navy – for whom its watches were made – to read the time in the darkest of sea conditions. It’s this very feature that continues to define the model today; the Due sub-collection, launched in 2016, debuts a new case inspired by the lines of the classic 1950s Luminor, and yet retains the glow-in-the-dark nature to the dial's indices and hands. This model hails from Panerai’s Luna Rossa collection. As official sponsor of the Italian Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli sailing team, Panerai here offers a timepiece that echoes the technical innovation and graceful power of the yachting world – note how the colourway and materials are curated to pay homage to the Luna Rossa boats.
