Frequently asked questions about Panerai Luminor

How much does a Panerai Luminor cost?

The current price range can be found in the price overview on this page.

What is the temple over the crown used for?

The lever presses the crown against the case and ensures the seal. The solution was developed for combat swimmers in the Italian Navy; today it is the line's best-known identifying feature.

What is a Sandwich Dial?

With this design, two discs lie on top of each other: the lower one carries the luminous material, the upper one has recesses where the numbers and indices are located. This means that the dial shines more powerfully and at the same time appears more three-dimensional than a printed version.

Are the watches at HORANDO new and original?

Yes. Each new watch is unworn and comes with box, papers and the full manufacturer's warranty. Before shipping, we look at each watch again, check the reference and serial number and pack it neatly.
