2025 Panerai Luminor Marina Elevated
If the Italian brand had left the bold and iconic Luminor Marina dive watch alone, it would have been the brand’s best-seller as long as production remained. But for 2025, Panerai has not only updated the Luminor Marina, but perfected it.
Water resistance has been improved from an already sufficient 300m to a category-leading 500m. A sapphire display case back has also been added to showcase the in-house Panerai Cal. P.980 automatic movement. Additionally, the new Luminor Marina is 12% thinner and 15% lighter than before.
Panerai has made strap changes even easier by adding the PAM Click quick release system to the included strap, while the bracelet-mounted reference has also been given a new on-the-fly micro-adjustment system called Quick Length Adjustment, which offers 2 mm of travel on either side.
Lume, one of Panerai’s signature features, has also been improved, and the 2025 Luminor Marina is one of the first watches in the world to feature Super-LumiNova’s new X2 formula, which is 10% brighter than before.
Panerai didn’t need to update the Luminor Marina, but it showed that even an icon could be improved through carefully planned and executed horological improvements.
