The Panerai Luminor Due Luna marks the introduction of the first complication in the Luminor Due collection, the romantic moonphase that is a beguiling sight to behold.

Launched in 2016 as part of a contemporary evolution of Panerai&rsquo;s Luminor collection, the <a href="https://www.panerai.com/en/collections/watch-collection/luminor-due.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Luminor Due</a> is characterised by its distinctive cushion case and elegant, elevated silhouette, which harks back to the classic Luminor from the 1950s. Though it debuted as a time-only model, the Luminor Due now undergoes a major update with the introduction of the collection&rsquo;s first complication &mdash; the moonphase &mdash; with this new reference expected to become a key design among the Luminor Due timepieces.
The hallmark of the Luminor Due Luna, which is named after the Italian word for &ldquo;moon&rdquo;, the moonphase depicts a 24K gold orb traversing a speckled midnight blue sky, and it looks right at home on the dial situated at 3 o&rsquo;clock, directly across from the small seconds. Underneath, the automatic movement runs on the P.900/MP calibre, which drives the 38-mm timepiece with a three-day power reserve. The iconic Safety Lock crown protection device, a signature of the Luminor timepieces, is a notable feature.

Four iterations of the Luminor Due Luna ensure that the range complements almost any ensemble and occasion. With a mother-of-pearl dial and a red- toned case made of the platinum&ndash;copper alloy Panerai Goldtech, the Madreperla makes its presence felt, while its white Super-LumiNova numerals, hands and indices lend themselves to subtle timetelling. An open caseback and a polished blue alligator strap complete the look (PAM01181). Next are two iterations with polished steel cases, white sun-brushed dials, and beige Super-LumiNova numerals, indices and hands, accentuated with a polished dark pink alligator strap (PAM01180) or the Luminor Due steel bracelet (PAM01301). And rounding up the quartet is the monochrome iteration featuring a mesmerising sun-brushed blue dial housed in a steel case, supported by a polished blue alligator strap (PAM01179).
Offering even more versatility, the Luminor Due Luna&rsquo;s alligator straps can easily be swapped out via the quick release system, which does away with the use of tools. Strap material options include sumptuous satin, and leather with a satin-like texture and appearance.
