Today, as Miami Design Week kicks off, Panerai introduces the Luminor GMT Power Reserve Ceramica PAM01674, a strikingly sleek and monochromatic addition to the Maison’s iconic Luminor collection. This new timepiece celebrates Panerai’s legacy of bold, functional design while embracing contemporary aesthetics and cutting-edge materials, perfectly aligned with the innovative spirit of Design Miami.
The PAM01674 embodies Panerai’s philosophy of “less is more,” blending streamlined design with robust functionality. Crafted entirely from high-tech Zirconium Oxide ceramic, the 44mm case and bracelet exude a muted elegance. This mono-material execution ensures a seamless, understated look while offering extraordinary durability—five times harder than steel and resistant to scratches, high temperatures, and corrosion.

Panerai’s meticulous approach to ceramic craftsmanship involves injection molding, diamond-wheel shaping, and sandblasting, resulting in a timepiece that harmonizes the brand’s sporting heritage with sophisticated refinement.
The Luminor GMT Power Reserve Ceramica highlights Panerai’s exceptional technical expertise, driven by the P.9012 caliber movement—a testament to the brand’s commitment to precision and performance. This sophisticated mechanism powers the watch’s key functions, including hours, minutes, small seconds, a date window at 3 o’clock, and a power reserve indicator at 5 o’clock. Additionally, the GMT complication allows for dual time zone tracking, making it a versatile and practical choice for modern explorers.

With a power reserve of three days, the watch’s energy is efficiently stored in two spring barrels, wound by a bidirectional oscillating weight. The caliber consists of 231 components and operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), ensuring exceptional reliability.
The matt black sandwich dial, treated with grey Super-LumiNova® X1, reflects Panerai’s naval origins, offering optimal readability in low-light conditions. The GMT hand, coated in a vivid blue Super-LumiNova® X1, adds a touch of contrast and utility. The bracelet, inspired by Panerai’s designs of the early 2000s, features a modernized, linear aesthetic that integrates seamlessly with the ceramic case.
With a water resistance of 10 BAR (~100 meters), the PAM01674 meets Panerai’s rigorous standards, tested to withstand pressures 25% higher than its rated resistance. This makes it ideal for both urban adventurers and marine enthusiasts.

Panerai’s PAM01674 offers a seamless blend of minimal Italian design and Swiss technical excellence, making it an essential timepiece for those who appreciate understated elegance with practical functionality. As a centerpiece of Miami Design Week, it underscores Panerai’s commitment to innovation and timeless craftsmanship.
