Frequently Asked Questions

What is special about the Luminor’s crown-protecting device?

The crown-protecting device (or crown guard) is one of Panerai’s most distinctive design elements and was originally patented in 1956. This bridge-like mechanism with a lever locks the crown against the case, protecting it from impacts and ensuring water resistance. Beyond its functional purpose, this feature has become Panerai’s most recognisable design signature, instantly identifying a watch as a Luminor model.

What is a “sandwich” dial and why is it significant?

The sandwich dial construction is a hallmark of Panerai design, consisting of two superimposed plates: a lower plate coated with luminous material and an upper plate with cut-out indices and numerals. This construction creates exceptional depth and luminosity, as the luminescent material shines through the openings in the upper dial, enhancing legibility in low-light conditions while adding visual dimension.

How does the quick-release strap system work?

Panerai’s quick-release strap system allows for tool-free strap changes in seconds. A small button on the back of each strap releases it from the lugs, allowing the owner to easily switch between the included alligator and rubber straps depending on the occasion or activity. This innovative system enhances the watch’s versatility, effectively providing two distinct looks in one timepiece.

What improvements does the P.9010 movement offer over its predecessor?

The P.9010 calibre represents a significant refinement over the previous P.9000 movement. Key improvements include a reduction in height from 7.9mm to 6mm, allowing for a slimmer case design; the replacement of the balance cock with a more stable Glucydur® balance bridge; enhanced shock resistance; and maintained reliability while achieving a more refined construction. These upgrades demonstrate Panerai’s commitment to continuous movement evolution.

Is this watch suitable for actual diving?

Yes, with 300 meters of water resistance, screw-down caseback, and clear legibility, the Luminor Marina PAM01313 meets professional diving watch requirements. While the alligator strap is not ideal for water use, the included rubber strap provides the perfect option for underwater activities. The luminous markers and distinctive hands ensure readability at depth, while the robust case construction protects against pressure.

How does the blue dial variant differ from standard Panerai Luminor Marina models?

The blue satiné soleil dial offers a distinctive alternative to the more common black dials in the Luminor collection. The sunray finish creates a dynamic interaction with light, shifting from deep navy to vibrant blue depending on viewing angle. This blue variant maintains all the technical specifications and iconic design elements of the Panerai Luminor Marina line while providing a more contemporary aesthetic option with enhanced versatility.
