Panerai has announced that at noon CET on April 25, we can “Discover the new Luminor experience”.

Maybe a reference to product announcement?

The OG Beef · 21 April 2020, 01:11 AM

Loads of new pieces will drop Saturday.

Something to look forward to at the end of the week. I'm excited to see what they come out with for us.

rajurama · 21 April 2020, 02:00 AM

I don't want to spoil the fun but there have been leaks ... Well from what I saw it's lots of Lume gimmics ... :) Official photos always look better than leaked ones so let's wait ..

Yes, I’ve seen those images.... some expensive strips of lume!

The OG Beef · 21 April 2020, 02:40 AM

Much more to it than just some additional lume. Saturday should be fun.

KBM · 21 April 2020, 05:16 AM

Hope there's something exciting this time. Fingers crossed.

enjoythemusic · 21 April 2020, 09:08 AM

Post leaked pics... or it didn't happen ;)

I can confirm this but am sworn to secrecy for now

The OG Beef · 21 April 2020, 10:00 AM

I’ve seen three new pieces. Unsure if all will be revealed Saturday, or if it’ll strictly be a luminor event. I suspect we’ll get them all with an obvious focus on luminor.

I heard it was also a new material.. not sure if that's a new lume material or build material like BMg/carbotech

Cru Jones · 25 April 2020, 06:03 AM

And here we go.... the “disco trio”.... 270 of each.

1117 - Titanium - $18,900
1118 - Carbotech - $16,000 (why cheaper?)
1119 - Fibratech - $18,900

Can you imagine WW2 commandos with lume strips??

The 70-year warranty and Fibratech seem interesting. The price, less so.

stardiver · 25 April 2020, 06:09 AM

a lot of gimmicks and a little silly looking with the glowing stitching. The lumed crown/guard dial ring & dial text was enough. prices are a little silly too.

dnpina · 25 April 2020, 07:24 AM

I predict 265 of those 270 fibratechs will be for available on Jshop within a year.

Ordered the 1118 carbon, am #1 on 'the list'. :)

winst · 25 April 2020, 08:17 AM

Like the blue dial.

burneyr · 25 April 2020, 08:38 AM

Well when Disney releases ''Tron 2'' I know what watch the actors will be wearing...

I like the new case materials, but if this is the direction Panerai's new CEO is taking I don't see him lasting very long.

Some of these releases have ''jumped the shark.''

So sad -

ETA - Have to say the blue dial on the new 1663 is out of this world. Nobody does blue like Panerai.

winst · 25 April 2020, 08:43 AM

Just noticed - can’t believed they lumped everything including the stitching but not the date!

Good point!

I like how it includes a normal Panerai strap and buckle too, though an a fan of the glow strap too.

gtnator · 25 April 2020, 01:17 PM

Hey, its innovation, style innovation. Now they just need to find a way to make the lume glow full torch, constantly, all night. I've thought some type of chemical that's powered, not by battery of course, but by movement. Maybe I should have patented this idea? No, just build the watch so I can buy it!

TheDude · 25 April 2020, 06:22 PM

Reminds me a that horrible neon car fad from the 90s.

Also can’t help but be reminded that combat divers from the 60s needed to tape over the crystals of their watches the old lume shone so brightly. This is about as far away from military dive watch DNA as you can get from a functionality standpoint.
