Panerai’s Entry-Level Luminor Base and Marina Logo Collections Get an Upgrade
Panerai has received justified accolades for the two high-complication models it introduced at SIHH 2018, the L’Astronomo (covered in depth here) with the manufacture’s first moon-phase complication, and the Lo Scienziato, with its landmark 3D printed case. However, another significant release ? and perhaps the most consumer-friendly move at this year’s salon ? has been more under the radar: the Luminor Base Logo and Luminor Marina Logo, the Florentine brand’s entry-level models, have become the latest in the collection to be equipped with in-house movements ? all-new ones, at that ? as well as new aesthetic details and strap options.
Panerai Luminor Base Logo 3 Days Acciaio – 44mm (Ref. PAM00774)
Up until this year, the Panerai Luminor Base Logo 3 Days Acciaio (a simple two-handed timekeeper) and Luminor Marina Base Logo (with an added small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock), both deriving their nicknames from the historical “OP” logo above the 6 o’clock marker, have been powered by an outsourced rather than in-house-manufactured movement ? an ETA 6497-1, modified and renamed the Panerai OP I for the Base model and Panerai OP II for the Marina. That changes with the newest models, which contain the all-new, hand-wound Caliber P.6000, created entirely in Panerai’s manufacture in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Notable here are not only the technical improvements ? Caliber P.6000 offers a three-day power reserve compared to it...
