This is a new ceramic‑cased Panerai watch. By launching this 40 mm model in ceramic, Panerai demonstrates that smaller‑sized timepieces remain highly popular.
Belonging to the Luminor collection, it features a solid case‑back, a blue sun‑burst dial, luminous Arabic numerals and hour markers. A date window sits at the 3‑o’clock position, while a small‑seconds sub‑dial is placed at 9 o’clock.
Its dual‑material strap combines Luna Rossa fabric and rubber, fitted with Panerai’s patented quick‑release strap‑change system.
Inside runs the familiar integrated movement used across other VSF Panerai models. It is high time VSF upgraded its movement. Modern genuine Panerai watches have moved away from the hand‑wound date‑setting mechanism, yet VSF still retains this older‑style design.
Build‑quality reliability is not a concern. Those who prefer smaller‑sized Panerai watches in special materials may take this model into consideration. Its price is comparable to that of the PAM 441.
