Best Panerai Watches for Christmas: Pop a Panerai in the stocking this Christmas and make 2024 unforgettable with these top picks curated by experts at Jura Watches.
Panerai is one of the newest names to join our extensive portfolio of reputable world-renowned luxury watch brands here at Jura Watches. The brand carved a reputation for itself in producing tool watches for the military in the 1930s. Surprisingly, these exceptionally robust watches weren’t made available to the public until the 1900s, when Panerai’s success surged to new heights overnight with the desirable Luminor and Radiomir watches. These staples soon found a place in the collections of many discerning watch enthusiasts. Thanks to their expertly engineered cases, legible dials and fine-tuned mechanical movements, Panerai watches are some of the most desirable in the horological world. If you’re unsure what to get your watch-loving husband this year for Christmas, take a look at 5 of these Panerai watches that our skilled team here at Jura Watches have chosen.
Panerai Watch Luminor Base Logo PAM01087
Considering the Panerai Luminor Base Logo 3 Days is the most affordable model from Panerai’s Luminor watch collection, it sure is a killer watch design. Take, for example, its cushion-shaped case and clean white dial, displaying the time with a simple two-handed format and Arabic numerals placed at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. For no-date fans, the Panerai Luminor Base Logo 3 Days is sure to hit the spot. The movement inside is a tried and tested, in-house workhorse that works relentlessly to provide accurate time, even when away from the wrist for up to three days. The watch is a branch of the Luminor tree and retains key collectable features like the cushion-shaped case and crown-protecting bridge that the brand became so famous for. It is features like the latter that really bring to life the recognisable military watches of yesteryear. Above all, the Panerai Luminor Base Logo 3 Days watch makes such a great Christmas gift because of its recognisable design, its robust architecture, and sports watch credentials. Panerai experts equip this 44mm polished stainless steel model with 100 meters of water resistance and a military green Caoutchouc strap.
Panerai Watch Submersible PAM02305
If your loved one frequently takes to the water, he’ll need a watch that can resist water pressure and the harsh external elements experienced out at sea. The Submersible is the answer to such pursuits, since it is the company’s professional dive watch of the range, boasting exceptional water resistance and a strong case leveraged by expert materials. The range even caters to those in need of an extreme iso-certified dive watch, equipping some models with a staggering 2,500-meter water resistance and crafting the cases from high-end materials like Carbotech. This confident 47mm model exudes huge wrist presence but makes up for its hefty dimensions with a lightweight brushed titanium case. The bezel is unidirectional, rotating only in the counter-clockwise direction to avoid any accidental extending of diving time while underwater. The model’s sleek black dial is punctuated with a splash of blue colour seen in the lettering and hands of the small seconds counter in this 300M water-resistant watch. It also comes with a glare-proof sapphire glass for clear viewing of the dial and luminous material on the hands and indexes.
Panerai Watch Luminor Quaranta PAM01371
The Panerai Luminor Quaranta is the brand’s sports watch that exudes confidence with its bold aesthetic. Without tampering with the features that identify as the classic Luminor, the model boasts a cushion-shaped case measuring 40mm. In fact, this is the smallest men’s Luminor Marina in the collection and communicates a classic elegance with its rather traditional-looking black alligator band. This steel model presents the time on a white dial with a generous coating of luminous material applied to its indexes and Arabic numerals. The same material has been applied to the central hour and minute hands along with the small seconds hand at 9 o’clock. The date, of course, takes residence in its usual place at 3 o’clock. All the elements are protected under a sapphire crystal glass front with glare-free qualities that grant a clear view into the dial, whether under direct light or artificial light.
Panerai Watch Luminor Marina PAM01314
The Luminor Marina from Panerai achieves equilibrium with its balanced dial proportions and a dial execution that will pair well with any attire, casual or smart. If your loved one happens to be a Panerai enthusiast, the Marina adds even more diversity to a collection, with its layered sandwich dial bearing glimpses of Super-LumiNova on the hour markers and indexes. The Luminor Marina continues to tell the Panerai story, with its crown-protecting bridge. Small second sub-dial, and cushion-shaped case. Of course, there are other great pieces in the collection, some of which include cases crafted from Panerai’s proprietary Goldtech material, Platinumtech and eSteel. But there is something undeniably pared-back and classic about this Panerai Luminor Marina watch. Experts at the brand’s Neuchatel-based ateliers choose a dark green calf strap with ecru stitching down the sides, but the watch also comes with an additional strap – a khaki green coloured rubber band, designed for flexibility, breathability and support.
Panerai Watch Radiomir Quaranta Goldtech PAM01026
For something ultra-luxurious this Christmas, wrap up the Panerai Radiomir watch with bows and ribbons and slide it under the tree. The Radiomir is a watch with historical significance. Its design harkens back to the 1930s when Radium was the luminous material of choice for delivering legibility in the dark. That all changed when the material was found to be harmful to human health. Today, the Radiomir retains all its charm and charisma but replaces the material with Super-LumiNova – a much safer, modern photoluminescence. This model boasts a 40mm Goldtech case, a white dial and a rich chocolaty brown alligator leather band that encloses with a matching 18ct rose gold buckle.
