Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 47 mm Carbotech
The Luminor 1950 case was developed by Panerai in the late 1940s to be worn by commandos of the Italian Navy. In 2015, Panerai introduced Carbotech, a material designed to enhance both the aesthetics and performance of the case. It is both lighter and stronger than ceramic or titanium, as well as being hypoallergenic. No two cases are the same due to each layer being compressed in a non-uniform pattern, so in addition to performance benefits, each piece is visually unique to its respective owner.
