Our Panerai Luminor Marina gets the DaLuca Straps treatment
Two days ago we were in Paris marveling at the beautiful and sophisticated range of luxury straps at ABP. And fear not, we’ll be bringing you a full report of the Prodigal Meetup very shortly. But today we wanted to take you to what is in many ways completely the opposite end of the watch [...]

Prodigal Meetup: Join us in Paris on 17 July

We’ve gone and done it
We’ve written before about our love of the Panerai Luminor from the Italian brand’s Historic collection. When it comes to Panerais, The Guide believe you should keep it as simple as possible, which is why the Luminor appeal to us so.

Panerai Luminor
The Guide is divided about which version of the Panerai Luminor is the best looking and most authentic. There’s the Luminor Marina (with a small seconds hand a the 9 o’clock position, pictured), or the Luminor Base (without a seconds hand.)
