AnthonyTsai introduces Panerai's Luminor Due series, featuring significantly thinner cases in 42mm and 45mm, a notable departure from the brand's traditional hefty designs. This post details the PAM676, PAM677, PAM674, and PAM675, highlighting their movements, dial variations, and the implications of their reduced water resistance.
This new Panerai Luminor Due case (pictured below) is ~40% thinner than the regular Historic Luminor case. The 42mm Luminor Due case is 10.5mm thick while the 45mm case is slightly thicker at 10.7mm.
This new case preserves the distinctive lines of our beloved Luminor 1950 case.
The 42mm PAM676 (steel) & PAM677 (red gold) Luminor Due 3 Days both house the P.1000 manual wind movement which is slightly skeletonized, so you can see more of the movement. I'm glad Panerai did this because now I can say this Panerai movement is visually stunning in my eyes.

As you can see in the below picture, the rose gold Luminor Due PAM675 houses a beautiful skeletonized P.4000 movement with micro-rotor. The stainless steel PAM674's P.4000 movement isn't skeletonized though, so you'll have to pay extra for the rose gold version if you want this skeletonized movement!
Estimated Retail pricing:
PAM674 - $10,700
PAM675 - $25,600
PAM676 - $8,100
PAM677 - $22,100
All in all, I'm happy Panerai released a new case. I have to see it in the flesh to see if I like this thinner case. But this new case isn't what I was hoping for. I'm still hoping for a totally brand new case from Panerai one day, so looks like the wait got extended even longer with the introduction of this Luminor Due case.

The Panerai PAM100 is a distinctive model within the brand's offerings, notable for its departure from the more utilitarian aesthetic often associated with Panerai. This reference presents a refined interpretation, emphasizing precious materials and a sophisticated dial treatment. It caters to collectors seeking a Panerai that blends the brand's characteristic case design with a luxurious presentation, distinguishing it from tool-watch oriented references.
This particular reference features a 40mm pink gold case, providing a substantial yet wearable presence. The watch is equipped with a mechanical movement, offering a power reserve suitable for daily wear. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, ensuring clarity and scratch resistance. The construction reflects a commitment to traditional watchmaking standards, with attention to both material selection and finishing.
The PAM100 appeals to collectors interested in Panerai's exploration of high-end materials and finishes. Its diamond dial further positions it as a piece for special occasions or as a statement watch within a collection. This reference represents a facet of Panerai's production that broadens its appeal beyond its traditional military-inspired designs, offering a more opulent option for enthusiasts.
The thinness of the case I find very much a feature. Curious how it would feel on the wrist - when do you reckon they will be out?
I'm also trying to get the retail prices of these new models too. -AT
While I always appreciate a thinner case, when it comes to chunky Panerais that I wear on warm sunny sleeveless days, I'm less concerned about the case thickness. I'm still thinking about the Radiomir with the engravings that I saw at SIHH 2015! That was a hauntingly beautiful watch.
I have to admit that I am not a big fan of Panerai. But this new way (thicker case, black dial which give nice shades I suppose and calibers) is really interesting. Very good point that time!
But I do like the thinner case!
With the introduction of the PAM672....
