Radiomir vs luminor

what is the difference between a radiomir and luminor? is it self-winding vs manual winding?

Hello Kabayan...The big different is in their case...

This one is example for Radiomir...



This one example for Luminor...(I believe you already knew it)



About the size, Luminor is 44mm and Radiomir 45mm. Beside their LE 47mm of course.

Is there a Radiomir that has an automatic movement? I thought they were all manual.

Ooops...I forget about 40mm Panerai...
Sorry, I don't know about 40mm Radiomirs. All I knew is 42mm. Am I wrong?
