Panerai has been on a roll lately with its continuous release of new products. Following the clean and beautiful Luna Rossa collaboration watch, yesterday saw the launch of the Luminor Marina Carbotech™ Blu Notte wristwatch, exclusively available for online shopping. This timepiece epitomizes the perfect blend of authentic Italian style and Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship. Let’s delve into the details of this exciting new release.
The highlight of the new watch lies in its innovative design, marking the first time the brand has combined two iconic elements: the Carbotech™ carbon fiber case and a midnight blue dial, all in one timepiece. For those familiar with Panerai, it’s no secret that they are masters of material experimentation, having delved into a diverse range of materials early on. Even now, the creative workshop at the Neuchâtel Manufacture continues to innovate and experiment, constantly introducing new and innovative material cases for Panerai.
The Carbotech™ carbon fiber case, measuring 44 millimeters, features the iconic crown-protecting bridge on the side, providing the watch with a water resistance of up to 300 meters. Carbotech™ carbon fiber exhibits exceptional strength against external impacts and corrosion resistance, while also possessing the lightweight characteristics typical of carbon fiber materials. The production process involves alternating layers of carbon fiber sheets combined with the high-tech polymer PEEK (polyetheretherketone), compressed under high pressure and temperature to create the material. Panerai was among the pioneers in introducing this advanced material to the high-end watchmaking industry.
In addition to its technical properties, Carbotech™ carbon fiber boasts a distinctive matte black appearance, unique due to its composite material composition. Unlike other brands that may showcase carbon fiber cases with woven carbon cloth patterns or forged carbon mottling effects after cutting, Carbotech™ exhibits a special texture reminiscent of tree rings, adding to its allure.
The sandwich-style dial is rendered in midnight blue with a sunray effect, enhancing its allure with a deep blue luster against the backdrop of the matte black case. Panerai’s intention with this design is to create an ever-changing play of light and shadow on the dial, reminiscent of the ethereal effects of sunlight penetrating the depths of the ocean.
At the 3 o’clock position on the dial, there is a date display window, while at 9 o’clock, there is a small seconds sub-dial. The numerals and bar-shaped hour markers, along with the black stainless steel hands, are all coated with white SuperLumiNova™ luminescent material, emitting a green glow in the dark, creating a striking contrast against the blue dial.
The watch is powered by the P.9010 automatic mechanical movement, crafted by Panerai’s Neuchâtel Manufacture and introduced in 2016. The 9010 can be considered an upgraded version of the P.9000 movement, particularly focusing on reducing the thickness of the movement. With a full winding, this movement provides a generous 72-hour power reserve. Based on feedback from watch enthusiasts regarding their wearing experiences, the initial stability of the P.9010 movement may have been slightly inconsistent. However, with production improvements in recent years, its overall stability has notably increased, delivering commendable performance.
The watch comes with a matte midnight blue alligator leather strap, accompanied by an additional deep blue rubber strap, both complemented by a titanium tang buckle coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) for added durability.
You can also consider pairing it with the UpCamo camouflage strap, which was recently released as an exclusive for online shopping by Panerai. This combination creates a unique and interesting overall look. For many watch enthusiasts, purchasing a Panerai and swapping out different straps is one of the greatest joys of ownership.
