0 0 Monday, 3 May 2021 Edit this post

Panerai presented the Luminor Marina eSteel, the latest variation of the iconic diving watch characterised by the patented crown-protecting device.

Both the case and dial of the Luminor Marina eSteel feature a new recycled-based steel alloy developed by Panerai with the goal to reduce the need for virgin material extraction and its associated high environmental impact. At the same time, eSteel exhibits the identical chemical behavior, physical structure and resistance to corrosion as a non-recycled alloy.

In total, 89g of the Luminor Marina eSteel components are made of recycled-based materials, corresponding to the 58,4% of the total weight of the watch (that is 152,4g).

The Luminor Marina eSteel comes in a 44 mm x 15,45 mm brushed case with a polished bezel, a rubberized crown and the lever is personalized with the eSteel logo.

Three dial colours are available: Blu Profondo (PAM01157), Grigio Roccia (PAM01358) and Verde Smeraldo (PAM1356), the latter being exclusive to Panerai boutiques and e-commerce. They feature a polished finish with gradient colours going from dark to light and the eSteel logo printed on it.

The automatic P.9010 movement beats at the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and offers a power reserve of three days.

It is fitted with the device for stopping the balance wheel when synchronising the watch and the system for rapidly adjusting the hour hand, which can be moved forwards or backwards without interfering with the running of the seconds hand.

Water-resistant to 30 bar (300 metres / 1,000 feet), the Panerai Luminor Marina eSteel is matched to a recycled textile strap with an eSteel trapezoidal pin buckle and delivered with an additional strap and a storage box composed of recycled material. Its retail price is Euro 8,500. panerai.com
