Introducing the Panerai Luminor Marina Fibratech – 44 MM
Made from the unidirectional mineral fibers produced by the fusion of basalt rock, “these fibers, bound with polymers, become thin layers which are superimposed in a precise orientation and then consolidated through pressure and temperature controlled process.” Got that? Quite simply, the results look incredibly cool. This high-tech discovery is 60 per cent lighter than steel, resilient to corrosion, and still is amazingly strong. Initially developed for the aerospace industry, the composite material gets enhanced further by developments refined by Panerai.
For 2020, innovative Fibratech is combined with a previous Panerai invention, Carbotech, used for the bezel, the crown, and the crown bridge lever. Each matte grey Fibratech case will have a slightly different look, as the material is impossible to duplicate depending upon how it’s cut. Throughout the years, technical innovation has been the core DNA of Panerai’s Luminor. After all, the style acquired its name from the luminous substance developed in 1949 to replace the radium-based paste used for preceding Radiomir watches.
