A New Chapter for PaneraiDue (read as doo-eh) means “two” in Italian, suggesting that the Panerai Luminor Due is the second generation of the iconic Luminor collection. The Luminor Due is actually built in the mold of the Luminor 1950 case – the pillow-shaped case, the prominent lugs and the patented crown guard and lever protection system, remain. What the Luminor Due takes away is the thickness of the case, which is now about 40% smaller than the Luminor 1950. The result are still large watches by watchmaking standards, but svelte, sleek and rather elegant. |
