Panerai Perfected their Iconic Dive Watch

2025 Panerai Luminor Marina Elevated

If the Italian brand left their bold iconic Luminor Marina dive watch as it was, it easily would’ve continued to be a best-seller for the brand for as long as it remained in production. But for 2025, Panerai not only updated the Luminor Marina – they perfected it.

The water resistance was bumped up from an already sufficient 300m to a category-leading 500m. A sapphire display caseback was also added, showcasing the in-house Panerai Cal. P.980 automatic movement. In addition, the new Luminor Marina is 12 percent thinner than before, and 15 percent lighter.

Panerai made strap swaps decidedly easier by adding the PAM Click quick-release system to the included straps, and references fitted with a bracelet also received a brand-new on-the-fly micro-adjustment system called Quick Length Adjustment that offers 2mm of travel on each side.

Even the lume, one of Panerai’s signature features, was improved, with the 2025 Luminor Marina being one of the first watches in the world to feature Super-LumiNova’s new X2 formula, which is 10 percent brighter than before.

Panerai didn’t need to update the Luminor Marina – but the well thought out and executed improvements made to the watch show that even icons can be improved upon.
