Panerai: Barrier-Breaking technology

by eliteGen magazine

Panerai marks it’s 70th anniversary with the luminor LAB-IDTM.

With the introduction of the Luminor LAB-IDTM (PAM01700), Panerai has produced a masterwork that lies at the nexus of the brand’s heritage and barrier-breaking technology.

Luminor, the most iconic of all Panerai collections, marks the brand’s 70th anniversary with one of its most advanced iterations. With a limited edition of just 70, Luminor LAB-IDTM is a groundbreaking product of the Panerai Laboratorio di Idee.

Steeped in the world of underwater instruments requiring legibility in the darkest of underwater environments, one of Panerai’s most acclaimed inventions is the classic sandwich structure dial, featuring a luminous substance that emerges through the openings in the dial corresponding to the hour markers, the small seconds dial and case, crown protector and strap. In this case, the design is enhanced by Super-Luminova X-1, a new generation of super-luminova created specifically for this project.

The full potential of carbon is apparent in every component of the Luminor LAB-IDTM. The case is constructed from a composite material based on carbon fibre, the dial is blanketed with carbon nanotubes and, because of the special attributes of carbon fibre, the movement never requires lubrication.
