Luminor Marina, Submersible & Radiomir — Sandwich Dial & P.9010 Movement Guide
Discover our premium collection of Panerai super clone watches — Housed in the historic cushion-shaped case architecture and engineered to 1:1 mechanical fidelity. In the high-end replication market, Panerai super clones have achieved benchmark status through the exact cloning of their manufacture movements and case construction. Our collection bypasses cheap decorated calibers in favour of true custom clone architectures — the Cal. P.9000, P.9010, and P.900 — maintaining the precise weight, massive wrist presence, and unmistakable tool-watch utility of the Italian Navy’s original contractor.
Iconic Panerai Super Clone Series
- Luminor Marina (PAM 1312 / PAM 111) — The definitive Panerai silhouette. Featuring the patented crescent-shaped crown-protecting device with a fully functional locking lever, and the historic multi-layered sandwich dial construction with Swiss Super-LumiNova compound
- Submersible Professional Divers (PAM 1616 / PAM 2223) — Built for sub-aquatic operations, showcasing rotating ceramic or forged Carbotech carbon fibre bezels with high-tactile click springs, paired with OEM-spec vulcanised rubber straps
- Radiomir Vintage Line (PAM 1334 / PAM 424) — The purest heritage reference. Characterised by its wire-lug attachments, cushion-profile steel case, and gold-plated vintage leaf hands on manual-wind or automatic clone calibers
Collector Notes: Crown Guard Tolerance & The Sandwich Dial
The technical benchmark for a true Panerai super clone lies in the crown-guard tolerance and the luminous depth of the dial. The signature Luminor crown-locking lever must engage with a crisp, mechanical snap — not loose or gritty. On our 1:1 super clones, the micro-roller on the lever tip is aligned to press flush against the crown tube, maintaining water-resistant compression at the correct torque. The sandwich dial construction replicates the dual-plate architecture: a lower disc fully layered in Swiss Super-LumiNova, covered by an upper stencil plate with precision-milled hour apertures — producing the deep, dimensional nocturnal glow that is unique to Panerai and immediately distinguishes it from a single-layer replica dial.
Clone Calibers — P.9000, P.9010 & P.900
Our Panerai super clone collection covers three distinct clone caliber architectures, each matched to the correct reference family:
- Clone Cal. P.9000 — The original in-house Panerai caliber, fully developed at the Neuchâtel manufacture. 7.9mm thick, twin mainspring barrels, 72-hour power reserve. Used in the classic 44mm Luminor 1950 references including PAM 312 and PAM 359. Discontinued on the genuine but correct for these historic references
- Clone Cal. P.9010 — The successor to the P.9000, retaining the twin-barrel architecture at a slimmer 6.0mm profile. Adds the quick hour-set function: the hour hand adjusts independently in one-hour increments without interrupting the minute hand — the correct behaviour for rapid time zone changes. 72-hour power reserve, 28,800 vph, seconds-stop device on crown extraction
- Clone Cal. P.900 — The modern ultra-thin caliber at 4.2mm, used exclusively in the Luminor Due and slim-case references. Single mainspring barrel, 72-hour power reserve. Correct for 40mm dress-oriented Panerai references — architecturally distinct from the thicker sport references above and not interchangeable
Visible through the sapphire casebacks, each clone caliber replicates the correct structural layout — twin barrel configuration on P.9000 and P.9010, single barrel on P.900 — with matching bridge finishing and rotor weight for the reference. Every Panerai’s case alignment, lug pin tolerance, and movement amplitude is verified through our pre-shipment quality control process before dispatch.
