The Panerai Luminor GMT 1088 was introduced in late 2016 as a replacement for the popular PAM 88. It features a slightly different movement (OP XXXI instead of OP VIII), while its looks have remained largely identical.
Panerai, established in 1860 in Florence, Italy by Giovanni Panerai, has a storied history rooted in military heritage. The Panerai Luminor and Panerai Radiomir are two of the most popular models, recognized for their bold aesthetics and functionality. With a commitment to precision and durability, Panerai remains a favorite among enthusiasts seeking adventure and style. Some of the biggest fans of Panerai have even given themselves a name—Paneristi.
