Louis Erard Collaborates with GoS on the Latest Edition of Le Régulateur

In December 2021, Louis Erard and GoS Watches were brought together by Manuel Emch, the visionary behind Louis Erard's strategic revival and creative transformation. He found a kindred spirit in Patrik Sjögren, watchmaker and founder of the Swedish atelier GoS, renowned for its mastery of Damascus steel. 

Together, they envisioned a timepiece that would seamlessly blend the essence of both Maisons: the technical precision and aesthetic refinement of the Swiss Jura, married to the artistry of a Swedish forge, where Damascus steel is meticulously crafted into mesmerizing patterns through an almost alchemical process.

Introducing Panerai Expands the Luminor Marina Collection

Five new references available in titanium and steel with different dials

Panerai's Luminor collection is more than just a series of timepieces; it represents the brand’s core identity, embodying Italian elegance and cutting-edge technology which gives its releases high durability. The name "Luminor" is derived from the luminous material Panerai invented in 1949 to meet the stringent requirements of the Italian Navy, ensuring crucial readability in the dark depths of the sea. The standout feature of the Luminor collection is its distinctive crown-protecting device, originally designed to prevent water seepage and safeguard the timepiece during demanding underwater missions. This protective lever, combined with a robust and reliable design, sets the Luminor apart as a pioneering symbol of functional elegance.

By 1993, Panerai began offering Luminor models to the civilian market, marking a pivotal moment in its history. With its bold size and departure from precious metals, the Luminor introduced a new level of rugged sophistication that disrupted traditional watch design and established Panerai as a frontrunner in the luxury tool watch segment.

As part of its participation in Watches & Wonders 2025, Panerai unveils a new series of five Luminor Marina timepieces, marking the next evolution of this legendary collection. These new models honor the Luminor Marina’s core values, resilience, readability, and robust functionality, while integrating contemporary updates that make them even more adaptable to modern life.

Each model in this lineup features a bold 44mm case, offering strong wrist presence. Most of the models utilize AISI 316LVM stainless steel, which is more corrosion-resistant than standard 316L. However, the PAM03325, dubbed the "Titanio," stands apart with a Grade 5 titanium case and bezel, providing a lighter and more robust alternative.

All models feature a see-through sapphire caseback, offering a glimpse into the movement. And for the first time in the Luminor Marina collection, a timepiece boasts 500 meters of water resistance, making it highly capable for underwater adventures.

Panerai offers a range of dial options, all featuring its signature sandwich construction and a new Super-LumiNova X2 in different colors for enhanced legibility. The PAM03313 features a blue dial, the PAM03314 comes in white, the PAM03325 Titanio sports a green dial, and the PAM03312 with a classic black dial. Notably, the PAM03323 introduces a light blue sun-brushed dial, a first for the brand. All models include a date window at 3 o’clock and a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock.

Powering each watch is the new P.980 calibre. This automatic movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers a three-day power reserve. It features 23 jewels and an Incabloc anti-shock device.

Strap choices vary depending on the model. The PAM03314 features a black alligator strap with ecru stitching, while the PAM03313 sports a blue alligator strap with matching detailing. The PAM03323 is fitted with an AISI 316LVM (1.4441) steel bracelet, incorporating the PAM Click Release System with quick length adjustment. The Titanio PAM03325 comes on a grey calfskin strap with ecru stitching and a Grade 5 titanium buckle, enhancing its lightweight appeal. All the watches join the brand’s permanent collection, and pricing is available upon request.
