The Luminor Marina Carbotech is a finely executed stealth version of Panerai’s quintessential diver. Panerai had previously crafted a Luminor Marina in Carbotech, but this one has a different dial. Bright blue luminescent hour markers have replaced the beige Super-Lumi Nova from the earlier version. And in place of the applied circular indices, there are stick markers in this new version. These changes, along with the grained carbon fibre case, lend the Luminor Carbotech an understated, monochromatic look. Formed by superimposing layers of carbon fiber under pressure, Carbotech is a proprietary composite developed by Panerai. Highly resistant to external shocks and corrosion, Carbotech’s irregular texture imparts a unique character to each watch. The P.9010 calibre within enables a quick set hour hand that simultaneously adjusts the date and boasts a power reserve of three days. The black, water resistant strap made of rubber like Sportech, matches the case and dial with its blue stitching.Ref. 1661
