Recently, Panerai launched six new watches for the LuminorDue series. Among them, PAM926 (38 mm), PAM927 (42 mm) and PAM964 (45 mm) are made of matte titanium. All three watches have a date function, and the largest PAM964 also has a second time zone and power reserve display.

   It is worth mentioning that the PAM926 and PAM927 are equipped with a newly developed P.900 movement. The P.900 has a diameter of 121/2 cents (about 28 mm) and a thickness of only 4.2 mm. It is the thinnest movement produced by Panerai. The movement is self-winding and provides a power reserve of up to 72 hours (3 days). No more details have been disclosed about this movement, but it is likely to be a new entry-level movement from Panerai.

   The smallest of the three watches is the PAM926 (38 mm), which is equipped with a P.900 automatic winding movement. This is also the first time that the 38 mm model is made of titanium. PAM00927 (42mm) is slightly larger, but the built-in movement is exactly the same as other specifications. The largest is the PAM964 (45mm), which is driven by the P.4002 self-winding movement. It has a second time zone, a power reserve display and a seconds hand reset function.
