With the Panerai Luminor Marina Quaranta, Panerai’s emblematic Panerai Luminor Marina receives a refreshed 40mm case dimension update.
Quaranta, which translates to forty in English, is the latest evolution in Panerai’s official records reviving a case dimension that has been in the archives. The new 40mm Luminor Marina Quaranta will replace the outgoing 42mm references as the smallest Luminor Marina in production. Versatility and wearability were the motivating factors behind the adjustments though fans of the collection will be heartened to hear that hallmarks of the classic Luminor Marina and Panerai’s DNA are retained.

The 40mm watch diameter is long considered as the golden dimension for its incredible versatility for virtually all wrist sizes, ladies included. With the Luminor Marina Quaranta, Panerai strikes an equilibrium between elegance and casual attitude to appeal more to discerning audiences. The iconic aesthetics of the Luminor Marina such as the patented crown-protection device and cushion- shaped case are proportionately executed to fit the refreshed case dimensions. Though the stainless steel case does not provide the security of a true dive watch, its 100m water resistance is ample enough to withstand daily wear and activities.
Available in three distinct colour variations, the Luminor Marina Quaranta feature three fail-safe options — a matte white dial with straps in black alligator and deep brown calf (PAM01271), a matte black dial paired with black alligator and black calf straps (PAM01272) and a sun-brushed blue dial with a navy-blue alligator strap and second in tobacco calf (PAM01270). One of Panerai’s slimmest calibres in its arsenal, the automatic P.900 calibre, powers the collection, providing a weekend-proof three-day power reserve.
