Panerai has long been a master of high-tech materials and regularly turns to other walks of life for inspiration. This Luminor Marina Carbotech™ watch features a case made of a proprietary material whose structure offers high performance but is lightweight. It is a combination of thin sheets of carbon fiber with a high-end polymer referred to as PEEK (polyether ether ketone) that are compressed under high pressure, rendering the material even stronger than regular carbon fiber. The mechanical movement features an Incabloc anti-shock device to protect it.

Founded in Florence, Panerai was not only a workshop, but also the city's first watchmaking school, helping to perfect and keep the craft alive under one roof. Equated with high quality, the brand supplied precision instruments such as naval combat sights and a radium-based powder that it developed to make the dials of instruments brighter. Panerai's Luminor collection continues to be a popular timepiece that remains radiant through its luminous Arabic numerals and polished steel casing.The brand's close ties with the navy also instigated the creation of the renowned instrument we know today as the Radomir watch, a high functioning timepiece that features manual mechanical movement, wire lungs and is water resistant. To date, Panerai has continued to support nautical activity, partnering with UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission last year to help promote the sustainable development of ocean sciences. This collaboration yielded The Submersible eLab-ID, a concept watch with the highest percentage of recycle-based material ever.
