Panerai Luminor Marina Carbotech
Panerai has relaunched The Luminor Marina collection in a new high-performance composite material developed by their own Laboratorio Di Idee. Surprisingly light weigh, only 96 grams, this cutting-edge composite is made up of superimposed layers of carbon fibre which are alternately aligned, consolidated under pressure and controlled temperature. Each piece has an unique character due to its irregular texture.

PANERAI
Founded in Florence in 1860 as a workshop, shop and school of watch-making, for many decades Panerai supplied the Italian Navy in general, and its specialist diving corps in particular, with precision instruments.
The designs developed by Panerai in that time, including the Luminor and Radiomir, were covered by the Military Secrets Act for many years and were launched on the international market only after the brand was acquired by the Richemont Group in 1997.
Today Panerai develops and crafts its movements and watches at its Neuchâtel manufacture. The latter are a seamless melding of Italian design flair and history with Swiss horological expertise. Panerai watches are sold across the world through an exclusive network of distributors and Panerai boutiques.
