Panerai Luminor GMT Owner Review : Luminous, shapely and robust

Early 2000s: love at first sight on a picture in a magazine, it's a Panerai Luminor! Several points differentiate it from other timepieces: - A large diameter - A cushion-shaped case - A characteristic crown protector, also ensuring water resistance.. - A "sandwich" construction with an openwork dial at the indexes, and placed on a Superluminova disc - Water resistance to 300m for a watch without a unidirectional bezel. - Small seconds at 9 o'clock I was looking for an automatic mechanical watch, readable, robust that could accompany me in my nautical activities, with a new design. On paper, it ticks all the boxes. But, during the first try in store, the size of the watch seemed unsuitable for a 17 cm wrist... Despite this disappointment, the emotion remains present. Better still, over the course of several years of testing, it was confirmed, and the case diameter ended up appearing acceptable to me! In 2015, I broke my piggy bank and set my sights on a model with the right complications for my daily life: the PAM 321, Luminor GMT, with power reserve. Since then, it has remained the favorite in my collection!
