Best Panerai Watches to Buy in 2020

The perfect timepiece adds a layer of sophistication to one’s outfit. If you’re looking through your accessories and just can’t seem to find the perfect one, then it might be time to go shopping. With so many things happening in the world right now, taking a moment to be happy about something isn’t superfluous—it’s fast becoming essential to your peace of mind and mental health. If that means shopping for a wonderful Panerai watch, then go right ahead. With so many options, you might find it easier if you go with this list. Here are some of the brand’s winning models.

Radiomir GMT

This timepiece comes with a blue dial. It’s said to embody the blueness of the sky and sea. That’s also why the other portion of the dial is much darker than the rest—to make sure the markers stand out. A GMT hand (that’s the one with the more defined arrowhead) shows the time in a second-time zone while the am/pm details on the sub-dial. The watch is also powered by the company’s in-house caliber, which comes with a three-day reserve. You can also see how much power remains through the open case back, so you’ll know if it’s time to charge it up again. 

Luminor Base Logo

If you’re looking for an entry-level model, though, then take a gander at this one. It comes with the hand-wound in-house caliber with a three0day power reserve. The hands and markers are painted with fun, luminous material. This is a deal-breaker for many fans of the brand, so you’ll need to be well aware of that before you pick this model. However, the cost of the price offsets that for many other fans who think it’s available at an incredible value. 

Luminor Due 

If you love large cases, then this is another champ. It slims down to just about 42 mm, which is small when you compare it to standard Panerai proportions. The finish is rendered with the company’s proprietary Goldtech material, which sees 18k gold combined with copper as well as platinum. That results in the intense color that you see on the watch. The platinum also cuts down on the effects of oxidation on the watch. The gold makes this timepiece just perfect for formal occasions. 

Luminor Luna Rossa Chrono Flyback 

The watch was crafted to commemorate the company’s partnership with the Italian yacht racing team. That’s why the background—the black red and white color scheme—is quite reminiscent of the yacht’s colors. You can also restart the flyback function of the chronograph without stopping it first, making that much more convenient. If you want a capable performer with style, this is the watch to go for. 

Submersible Chrono

If you love big watches, then this should ring the bell for you. At 47mm, it’s huge. But the sheer size and its titanium build mean that the watch is as light as possible. The design takes inspiration from the Radiomir Panerai that was produced for the Egyptian Navy back in 1956.
