How to Choose Panerai for New Buyers

Today's Panerai still has the classic look of the past, but the size, thickness, and movement of the watches have changed, making them completely different from the Panerai of 10 years ago. So, today I have selected two Panerai watches that are most suitable for most people. Why two? Because one is suitable for those with thick wrists, and the other is suitable for those with thin wrists. Buy Panerai Luminor clone watches online, buy replica watches at twatchclone.ru.

This year (2025), Panerai completed the upgrade of its 44mm Luminor, launching the new generation 44mm Luminor, including the black-dial 3312, blue-dial 3313, and white-dial 3314. For those with larger wrists or those who can tolerate a larger size, the new generation Luminor 44mm is the absolute top choice for Panerai buyers today. Why? Because it's currently the "most powerful mass-produced Panerai." 

The new generation Luminor remains in Panerai's most commonly used 44mm size, but the thickness has been significantly reduced, from the original 15.65mm to the current 13.4mm. This 13mm thickness puts it on par with Rolex and Omega watches. Despite this reduction, the watch boasts a high water resistance of 500 meters, surpassing the 300-meter water resistance of the Rolex Submariner, Omega Seamaster 300m, and Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. Of course, Panerai's signature crown guard remains intact.

The new-generation Luminor 44 features a dial that incorporates Panerai's most practical design: a small seconds and calendar combination. While a Panerai with only hour and minute hands is certainly the most faithful to its history, the addition of a small seconds and calendar offers the most convenient daily use. More importantly, Panerai's famous "sandwich" dial is also present. As you can see, the hour markers are skeletonized, allowing the luminous coating beneath the dial to shine through for greater effect. Black, white, and blue—three of the most durable and stylish dial colors in luxury watches—are now available.

The new Luminor 44 is equipped with the Panerai P980 automatic movement, replacing the previous P9010 series movement. This also means that the Panerai P900 series movement is rapidly replacing the P9010 movement. The P980 automatic movement is the latest model in the Panerai P900 series and a shared movement within the Richemont Group. The P980 automatic movement is 4.2 mm thick, compared to the 6 mm thickness of the previous P9010 movement. This reduction in thickness is primarily due to the P900/980 movement. The P980 automatic movement offers a 72-hour power reserve, a silicon escapement (note: not a silicon balance spring), and a stop-seconds function. While thinner, it maintains the same performance as the previous P9010. The new generation Luminor 44 features a one-touch quick release strap feature. No tools are required; simply press the strap connector to release it, making it very convenient.

40mm is a "new size" that Panerai has been introducing on a large scale since 2021. In the past, Panerai rarely used the 40mm size. However, in recent years, as luxury watch sizes have returned to more rational standards, Panerai has introduced 40mm models across its Luminor and Rademi series as its new flagship. If you think the 44mm Luminor is too large, the 40mm Luminor is definitely the best choice.
