The Dress Watch - Panerai Luminor Due

Panerai Luminor Due is more or less the dress watch. Due stands for ‘two’ but can be read as Mark II or second version as well. More replica Panerai Luminor.

Don’t expect a 37mm ultra-thin dress watch here, but rather a more sophisticated looking version of the Luminor. The ‘dress’ factor is mainly due to the thinness of the cases. These thin cases could be established because of a pair of thin movements of course. The 42mm models use the hand-wound caliber P1000 (and P1000/10 for the gold version) while the 45mm models use the automatic movement caliber P4000 (P4000/10 for the gold version).

The P4000 movement by Panerai was introduced in 2014 and they decided to use it for their 45mm versions of the Due. The P1000 movement is a hand-wound caliber that only measures 3.85mm in height. No wonder Panerai is able to keep these watches at 10.50mm thick for the 42mm and 10.7mm for the 45mm models.
