Discover the Italian style and functionality of Panerai watches crafted for those with a lust for adventure
Robust and technically savvy, Panerai watches boast strong, powerful features that will appeal to those who lead an active lifestyle. The luxury watchmaker is known for its material innovation, lending its watches the hardiness that an athlete, a diver or even an explorer look for to accompany them on their adventures. Take for instance the Luminor Luna Rossa, a collection created to sync with competitive yacht Luna Rossa, the Challenger of Record for 2021 America’s Cup. The watches are fortified with innovative materials designed to be ultra-resistant. Think Carbotech formed with carbon fibre layers reinforced by polymers (for Luminor Luna Rossa Regatta 47mm), high tech ceramic (Luminor Luna Rossa Chrono Flyback 44mm), and Grade 2 titanium coated in black DLC (Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 44mm). In keeping with the sailing theme, the dial is covered in a fabric sail material for distinction. Carbotech is combined with highly resistant gold alloy in the Submersible Goldtech Orocarbo 44mm for double reinforcement. A proprietary material, Goldtech is formed through significant copper content enriched with platinum.
Nothing evokes the natural world like the colour green and Panerai pays tribute to its military past with a green dial for a new line of Radiomir watches, which are water-resistant to 100m. Black ceramic forms the protective cases of these sporty watches designed for everyday wear

POWER, PRECISION, PASSION
The perfect fit for Panerai’s adventurous character, Darren Lee, Ariff Faisal and Casmad Sanuri are strong believers that an active lifestyle equals happy, healthy life. These gentlemen work as hard as they play, and they use their workout not only to get fit but also to destress and sharpen the mind to better tackle the next challenge.
“I love combat sports—boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and Muay Thai. They really help me centre myself and find balance. I enjoy the complexities that the sport offers and how, in order to excel, one has to walk a thin line between physical aggression and mental calculation; it’s like playing chess. Plus, it’s a great full body workout”
—DARREN LEE 39, executive creative director
“In normal times, I like playing football and tennis but in the current Covid world, tennis is my number one sport. I love the combination of fitness, power and finesse you find in playing tennis. I’ve always enjoyed competition so I find it more fun than doing cardio on a treadmill or a bike”
—ARIFF FAISAL 28, co-founder of Kualesa
“I love spending time in the gym as it always makes me feel good and fit. But I have a newfound hobby, which is hiking. It makes me feel close to nature and reminds me that we must live harmoniously with it”
—CASMAD SANURI 49, entrepreneur
