**** The move from Tritium to Luminova was during production of the B-Series. Until now no exact information by Panerai is known. The view of many Paneristi is:

PreA & A-Series with case number OP6500 & OP6502 had 100% Tritium dials (maybe changed during revision to Luminova)

B-Series with case number OP6518-OP6521 has less than 10% an original Tritium dial (some were flipped by owners from Luminova to Tritium to increase the value of the watch)

C-Series has 100% Luminova dials.
