Thinnest Luminor case out there ?

Does anyone know the thinnest Luminor case produced , 42mm or smaller - either current production or retired ?

Have recently “rediscovered” my PAM 512 and love the way it wears so thin . I had two 42mm Luminors I traded away a few years of bc didn’t like the thickness / chunkiness on my wrist.

Have you tried the quaranta? I find it wears a lot better than the 1392 for example. It’s something with the proportions.

If you consider the Due line as a Luminor, then that’s where I would look.

Otherwise, Bettarini case ETAs (like 000, 111) are thinner than the 1950 models, with the X,XXX series 1950s being thinner than the XXX years.

Thanks, that one is on my list to try

Thanks for the advice- the 30m WR on the due bothered me (I know it’s silly since I won’t actually be diving with it )

Was wondering if there were any discontinued models maybe I was missing with a manual movement for example that made the case unusually slim for a Luminor case.
