Luckily, radium isn’t used anymore and the mixture changed to other materials such as Super-Luminova. Paneristi, as the brand’s enthusiasts are collectively called, certainly have something to look forward to with this new launch. “The Paneristi love the lume as this is a major factor in aaa quality replica Panerai’s long standing history spanning more than a hundred years,” says Richardson.

We are all excited to see this watch in the flesh especially as one of the favourite pastimes of the Paneristi is photograph their super clone watches online whilst in a state of lume,” he adds.
