Frequently asked questions

Is the Panerai Luminor Marina Tantalium nickel-free?

No. At least one part that touches the skin is steel, usually the caseback or the clasp, and steel carries nickel, so the guide does not list it as nickel-free.

What is the case of the Panerai Luminor Marina Tantalium made of?

The case is tantalum. That is confirmed against the maker's specification. The caseback is titanium.

What size is the Panerai Luminor Marina Tantalium?

The case is 44 mm across. It is water resistant to 300 m.

How much does the Panerai Luminor Marina Tantalium cost, and is it available?

It is no longer made, so the only way to buy one is used.
