Panerai, the kings of the large statement wristwatch, has announced a stealthy all-black model that even it calls “understated elegance”.
The Luminor GMT Power Reserve Ceramica debuted during Miami Design Week, and features a matt black sandwich dial, a black sandblasted ceramic bezel and a titanium DLC case back.
The 44mm watch comes with what the brand calls “a comprehensive suite of functions”.
They include a central hour, GMT, and minute hands, a small seconds dial at 9 o’clock, a power reserve indicator at 5 o’clock, and a date window at 3 o’clock.
“The Luminor GMT Power Reserve Ceramica encapsulates Panerai’s dedication to the concept of functional design. Since the beginning, our timepieces have been created to fulfil specific functions expressed through a very particular design,” says Jean-Marc Pontroué, the brand's CEO.
"Features such as the crown-protecting device and the dial luminosity, originally designed for functionality, have now become integral to the design of the Luminor. This contemporary timepiece, blending Swiss technical prowess and minimal Italian design, seamlessly aligns with the spirit of Design Miami.”
