Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 42mm Watch PAM01096

The Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 42mm (Ref. PAM01096) combines genuine America’s Cup heritage with Panerai’s most advanced materials technology. Limited to 250 pieces, this GMT features a ScafoTech™ dial made from actual Luna Rossa AC75 yacht carbon fiber – not a marketing gimmick, but recycled material from the racing boat itself.

The 42mm sandblasted titanium case wears lighter than steel while maintaining the distinctive Luminor presence. At 14.4mm thick, it’s substantial without being cumbersome, and the Safety Lock crown system gives it that unmistakable Panerai identity. The Carbotech bezel adds visual depth and genuine durability advantages in marine environments.

Inside is Panerai’s Manufacture Calibre P.9010/GMT, delivering 72-hour power reserve and proper GMT functionality with rapid time zone adjustment. This isn’t a modified ETA, it’s built entirely in-house with twin barrels and enhanced shock protection designed for demanding use.

The titanium construction and composite materials make this noticeably more comfortable for extended wear than comparable steel GMT watches. The included rubber strap gives you sailing-appropriate functionality, while the alligator leather works for everything else.

This Luna Rossa GMT suits buyers who want authentic sailing heritage rather than sailing aesthetics. The limited production and genuine AC75 materials make it more than a themed watch, it’s actual racing equipment refined for luxury use. You’re getting both Panerai’s Italian manufacturing excellence and legitimate America’s Cup provenance in a package that works as well in the boardroom as it does on deck.
