— December 7, 2024 — Fashion
The Panerai Luminor GMT Power Reserve Ceramica timepiece has been unveiled by the brand as a dark, brooding model that shows off a decidedly stealth aesthetic for collectors alike to admire. The timepiece is constructed with a 44mm black ceramic case that holds the in-house P.9012 automatic movement and is enhanced with water resistance components for a 100-meter rating. The lightweight watch puts Zirconium Oxide in the spotlight for its material, which is reported to have a five-times greater hardness than stainless steel for enhanced peace of mind when it comes to durability.

The Panerai Luminor GMT Power Reserve Ceramica timepiece is rounded out with a Super-LumiNova X1 for low-light visibility and is available only at boutiques for $19,100.
