The light and very resilient case is made of titanium which is manufactured by the technology known as ‘Direct Metal Laser Sintering’ (DMLS). This process of futuristic 3D printing involves the sedimentation of titanium powder, sintered layer by layer by a high-powered optical fibre laser, 30 microns (0,03 mm) at a time.
The bezel, crown and lever of the Safety Lock crown protection bridge are made of Carbotech
The bezel, crown and lever of the Safety Lock crown protection bridge are made of Carbotech, a carbon composite developed by the Panerai Laboratorio di Idee.

The 6 mm thin automatic movement is fitted with the function for quickly setting the time, which at the same time modifies the date. The movement has a power reserve of 72 hours, provided by its twin spring barrels.
The new Luminor Marina DMLS 44 mm is water resistant to 30 bar (300 m) and is worn on a black Panerai Sportech strap with anthracite stitching.
