You may notice so many nice words in replica watch descriptions. Practical is not something you hear often in Panerai parlance, but the special watch is refreshingly just that. Today we will talk about the very wearable and luxurious fake Panerai Luminor GMT PAM01088.
A pretty newly established model by Panerai, the Luminor GMT PAM01088 made its debut in 2016 to replace the PAM00088. The replica watch sports a 44mm stainless steel case and like all Luminor models, it contains the trademark lever-controlled bridge protecting the winding crown. This, of course, is to ensure the watch’s water resistance to 300 meters. After all, Panerai timepieces were born as diving watches for the Italian Navy in the early part of the 20th century.
Moving onto the dial, the replica Panerai Luminor GMT PAM01088 bears quite a bit more information relative to other Panerai models. Apart from the semi-skeleton hour and minute hands and gray subdial housing the small seconds, there’s also a date window and a GMT function. The GMT function allows the wearer to read another time zone thanks to the arrow-tipped hand pointing to the 24-hour markings on the periphery of the dial. Features of Panerai watches, the Luminor GMT PAM01088 is equipped with plenty of lume and lights up beautifully in the dark.
Panerai replica watches are popular for their sumptuous leather straps and the Luminor GMT PAM01088 is no exception. Presented on a rich brown leather strap with a steel tang buckle, the Luminor GMT is wonderfully comfortable to wear and a joy to look at. There is even an extra black rubber strap if the wearer decides to go for a dive or just wants to add a new look to the watch.
The main difference between the Panerai Luminor GMT PAM01088 and the previous PAM00088 is the movement that drives the watch. The cheap Panerai Luminor GMT PAM01088 runs on the Caliber OP XXXI automatic movement (versus the previous OP VIII).
In fact, the Caliber OP XXXI is a modified version of the famous ETA/Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement. However, Panerai removed the chronograph function and added the 24-hour hand. Operating at 28,800 beats per hour, the COSC-certified Caliber OP XXXI automatic movement offers 50 hours of power reserve.
