Panerai introduced the Luminor Due, a range of smaller and thinner watches, with a hint of elegance. Today, downsizing goes a few steps further, with the introduction of the Replica Panerai Luminor Due 38mm.
38mm. Yes, there are no typos, Panerai now offers watches under 40mm! And no, they aren’t, as such, made for ladies – even if, of course, some of our female readers will spot an opportunity to finally wear a Panerai.
First of all, no surprises in terms of style, design or features. The new 38mm diameter means a reduction of all the elements, without touching the basics of the Luminor Due collection. The shape of the Fake watch remains faithful to what we know and to Panerai’s signature style. The case is cushion-shaped, the lugs are straight and hollowed, the crown is protected by the trademark Luminor device.
The new Panerai Luminor Due 3 Days Automatic Acciaio 38mm is available in two versions: Panerai PAM00755 Replica Watches with an anthracite sandwich dial and PAM00903 with an ivory dial. Both feature hallmark Panerai style, one with the iconic sandwich dial and baton indexes, the other with Arabic numerals and dots.
The Panerai Luminor Due 38mm is presented on leather straps with a fast-changing system – something that is growing in the industry. Even if the brand doesn’t advertise these watches as men’s or ladies’ copy watches, they’ve been presented to us on short straps – but then again, exchanging a short strap for a longer one shouldn’t be a problem.
The Panerai Luminor Due line will be debuted by four models, a steel and gold version in both 42- and 45-millimeter sizes.The Panerai Luminor Due 3 Days Replica Watchesare the 42-millimeter-wide models – the references refer to the 316L and red gold versions, respectively. Both will come in 10.5 millimeter thick cases with the in-house P.1000 manufacture fitted inside. The movement, unsurprisingly, will provide 3 days worth of power reserve, operate at a most welcome 4 Hertz.

The dials, because they are always subject to scrutiny by the fans of the brand, are either black in the steel version, or anthracite grey in the gold Cheap Panerai Replica. They have the classic sandwich structure and their top surface has been “enhanced” by a satiné soleil finish – that actually stands for “satin sun” and is in French, just to tingle your multi-lingo senses a bit.

Also worth noting is that although Panerai says they have designed a new case here, they have engineered it so that it only has 30 meters of water resistance. Now, despite the fact that the Luminor Due is certainly a more elegant line, Panerai Replica Watches still claims that it has a “robust cushion case” and that “all the elements originate directly from the history of the brand.” A mere 30 meter depth rating – that actually more often than not equates to a watch that maybe is suitable for baths and showers and usually not at all recommended for swimming – hardly implies a robust design and construction…

Yes, we have seen Panerais with 30m ratings before, but what is the world coming to if the latest and greatest Panerai Replica can’t make you feel safe wearing it during a swim in the pool – let alone in the open waters. There are not too many actual, measurable and comparable technical specifications that give watch brands a chance to back their claims with, but this rating will likely bother some fans of the brand – and we’ll leave many others totally unconcerned, of course.
The new Fake Panerai Luminor Due 3 Days Watches case looks every bit as refined and as Panerai as one could hope for, but when I think of what a new, 21st-century Luminor Chapter Two could possibly be, I can’t help but imagine something that is more than a new option that is actually less.
