New moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, waning crescent – back to new moon. These are the eight phases of the Moon. The Moon is our planet’s only natural satellite, pushing our oceans’ tides back and forth, while illuminating the starry sky each night for eternity and beyond.Panerai should introduce its own moonphase complication to the Elegant Panerai Luminor Due Luna Replica models, which is sure to draw many a female client to the Swiss-Italian brand.
The Luminor Due: Core collection
The new Luxury Luminor Due Luna Replica mark a first for the Luminor Due collection, which had never before integrated a complication into one of its watches. One reason for this is that the Luminor Due watches, first introduced back in 2016, are much slimmer than their diving watch relatives in the main Luminor collection. Stretching between 44 and 47 mm in diameter – there’s even a gigantic 50 mm moonphase model – the contemporary, stream-lined Luminor is sporty and bold.
By contrast, the Luminor Due collection maintains sharp proportions yet has a more elegant feel and smaller sizes. This line is as close as Panerai top quality fake watches comes to a dress watch, while still maintaining the brand’s unmistakable DNA cues. On the one hand, we still see Panerai’s distinctive cushion case, sandwich dial, and curved Arabic and baton hour markers. Yet on the other hand, the Luminor Due features radiant sun-brushed dials; sleek alligator leather straps – and one of the four new models even features a mother-of-pearl dial.
The case
The best replica watches with exacty quality cases, in combination with the Safety Lock crown, promise water-resistance to 30 m. This level of water-resistance feels like a courteous nod to the DNA of the brand above anything else, as these are not supposed to be action-packed watches.
The crown protector does deserve a special mention, however. Not only is the design enjoyable, as well as reassuring, for the wearer, but it also add a very individual aesthetic spin to the Luminor Due Luna in comparison to other sporty dress watches on the market. The integration of such a tool-watch feature onto an otherwise rather gracefully designed timepiece is very unusual, and Panerai execute it extremely well.
This is partly thanks to the flawless polishing of the crown protector. The cases and bezels of all the Luminor Due Luna 1:1 Clone Swiss Replica Watches are polished, adding to the argument that these are fairly smart timepieces.
PAM01179 and PAM01180: Sunburst brushing and steel
Two of the other models feature steel cases, sunburst dials, and a polished leather strap. The PAM01179 combines a deep blue dial with a matching navy strap. Interestingly, Panerai opts for golden luminous hands and small seconds, yet the sandwich dial’s luminous Arabic and baton hour markers are without colour.
Indeed, the PAM01180 Swiss movement made for best prices has a much lighter look – if the PAM01179 is dark and handsome, the PAM01180 is the playful and pretty sibling. The golden moonphase, hour, minute, and small seconds and markers create a very balanced aesthetic in combination with the clean white sun-brushed dial. This time, the watch is paired with a bright pink alligator strap.
Feeling the steel: PAM01301
This model brings all of my personal favourite core swiss replica watches features to the forefront: a sporty steel case and matching bracelet, white sun-brushed dial, and decent diameter of 38 mm. Interestingly, the bracelet’s unusual curvaceous links take inspiration from the Luminor crown-lock bridge.It’s perhaps the most balanced of all of the models, offering a bridge between the Luminor Due’s sporty and stylish qualities.

The straps
The strap used on all three leather-strap models are so-called ‘Luminor Due satin straps’, which are specially designed to have a satin-like texture and sheen. The straps feel very comfortable on the wrist, and the light-weight, easily adjustable pin-buckle option takes the weight off the watch – particularly the gold PAM01181 – making the timepieces very wearable.
The Most Exquisite Luxury Replica Watches is my absolute favourite complication. This is because, while there is a vast array of ingenious and mind-blowing complications in the cosmos that is horology, there is no complication more romantic than the moonphase. With that in mind, I was excited to see these watches in the metal from the very start – and I was by no means disappointed.
