Panerai Luminor Marina PAM01707 Carbotech: Lightweight Dive Watch Gets Advanced Carbon Case

Panerai Expands Advanced Materials with Luminor Marina PAM01707 in Carbotech

Panerai has unveiled the Luminor Marina PAM01707, a new lightweight dive watch that pairs the brand's iconic crown-protecting bridge design with a full Carbotech case. Announced in August 2026, this 44mm timepiece represents Panerai's continued commitment to advanced materials in its dive watch collection.

What Makes the PAM01707 Special?

Carbotech is Panerai's proprietary carbon composite, created by compressing layers of carbon fibre with PEEK (polyether ether ketone), a high-performance polymer. The result is a material that is significantly lighter than both titanium and steel while offering exceptional corrosion resistance—ideal properties for underwater use.

The layered construction of Carbotech creates a unique marbled pattern on each watch's matte-black surface, meaning no two PAM01707 units look exactly alike. Despite its commanding 44mm dimensions, the watch weighs only around 100 grams thanks to the lightweight material.

Key Specifications

Vintage-Inspired Design Elements

The PAM01707 features warm beige Super-LumiNova on its sandwich dial, evoking the aging process of vintage military Panerai watches. The absence of a date display creates a cleaner layout reminiscent of early military references. The small seconds display at 9 o'clock is both a functional and historical feature, originally allowing military divers to confirm at a glance that the watch was running.

The automatic calibre P.9010 delivers a three-day power reserve via twin barrels, with an independently adjustable local hour hand that can be moved in one-hour increments without interrupting the movement.
