Panerai Luminor Marina PAM01661 Carbotech Black Dial

Electric blue lume on a black dial

The Panerai Luminor Marina PAM1661 replica is black from case to dial, and the colour on the dial comes from the lume. The 12, 6 and 9, the hour batons and the hour and minute hands are electric blue on a matte black dial. LUMINOR MARINA sits above the centre and PANERAI Automatic below it in white, the small seconds dial is at 9, and the date window is at 3. In the live photos on the cushion the blue reads as bright as in the product render.

Marbled black case and textured strap

Carbotech is the name of this Panerai model, and in our photos the case shows a layered black grain that runs in thin wavy lines, most clearly on the left flank. The crown guard bridge is the same black and engraved REG T.M. The caseback is solid and matte black. The 44mm case sits on a black strap with a fine raised grid texture, sky blue stitching and a black leather lining, closed by a black pin buckle.

PAM1661 next to the other Carbotech Marinas

The PAM1118 with a pale green lume ring uses the same marbled black 44mm look, but its lume is green and it comes on grey textile. The PAM661 with gold tone numerals keeps the black dial and adds round gold tone hour dots and a blue small seconds hand. Our Carbotech case guide covers the material behind the name, and the Panerai Luminor range lists the steel and gold tone Marinas too.
