Pre-Owned
Panerai Luminor Watches

Established 1860

In 1949, Panerai replaced its patented radium-based Radiomir with the newly developed, safer and self-luminous substance, Luminor. This tritium-based material would inspire the name of the brand’s historic watch model, the Luminor. With its distinctive case shape and crown protecting bridge, the Luminor has become an icon in watchmaking.

Luminor History

The Panerai Luminor series, including the popular Panerai Luminor Marina, is a true marvel in the world of luxury timepieces. Boasting an illustrious military history and gaining the admiration of discerning modern collectors, these watches have serious wrist presence and are truly iconic.


Originating in Florence in the 1860s and named after its founder Giovanni Panerai, the brand developed a reputation for reliability by supplying vital diving instruments to the Italian Navy.


It’s use of radium to make luminous paint for its highly legible dials on depth gauges and compasses was pioneering and led to the name of the brand’s first wristwatch, the Radiomir, in 1936. The Luminor joined the Panerai line-up in the late 1940s and was notable for its iconic cushion-shaped case, bold dial, and a crown-protecting bridge that really made it stand out aesthetically. This bridge featured a movable lever that clamped the crown tightly against the case to ensure it kept out water or moisture.


The Luminor collection encompasses a wide range of complications and features, from high-end tourbillon models to complex chronographs and GMT functions.


Panerai is renowned for pushing horological boundaries and uses a number of innovative materials for its watches. As such, you can find the Luminor in everything from bronze to rose gold. And if you’re seeking something lighter and more durable, if offers scratch-resistant ceramic and even Carbotech—a composite material based on carbon fibre.


Although the brand is known for its large watches—with cases exceeding 50mm—the Luminor collection offers one of the smallest Panerais to date, the 38mm Luminor Due. Most Luminor models, however, come in the 40mm to 44mm range.


Water resistance varies according to the model, with most Luminor models offering at least 100 metres. Many offer a water resistance of 300 metres—equal to that of a modern Rolex Submariner.


Additionally, Panerai releases many limited-edition Luminor watches, which are valued for their exclusivity and rarity. These timepieces often feature unique design elements, like special engravings or commemorative details, making them highly prized by collectors. Owning a limited-edition Panerai Luminor watch is not just owning a piece of horological history, but also a symbol of distinction and individuality.


From the iconic crown-protecting device to the luminescent hour markers and hands, each Panerai Luminor watch is crafted to ensure optimal performance and readability. Whether you opt for a manual-wind or automatic movement, every Panerai Luminor guarantees precision and reliability.


Over the years, the Panerai Luminor has become a symbol of luxury and style, attracting a host of famous personalities who appreciate its timeless elegance.


Countless A-list celebrities have been seen wearing the iconic Panerai Luminor and Luminor Marina timepieces. Hollywood stars like Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jason Statham are known to be long-time fans, while supermodel Heidi Klum and actress Salma Hayek have proved they look equally great on women.
