- Has been realized for the 2004, a limited edition of the Luminor Base in 500 units (steel, Pam 0) and another of the L.

Moreover, another limited edition, serial 00R, of the Luminor Base (steel, Pam 2) in 80 units and of the L.

The liaison between Unitas-Eta, Swatch Group and Panerai, Richemont Group, is likely to be ended in the next future. In the factory in Neuchatel, Panerai are studying for a completely new movement, the first caliber Panerai of the history that, probably, will make its public debut in 2005. Will be hand-wound or automatic? They will not produce the Historics?
