White Dial Panerai Luminor Marina PAM01314

Panerai’s main keyword in 2020 is definitely "Luminor", because this was originally a luminous material, and was later named directly as the research and development result of the watch series. It has reached its 70th anniversary. Therefore, the new products launched by the brand in 2020 are concentrated in Luminor. The series couldn't be more reasonable. Luminor Marina PAM01314 is a new product recently released by Panerai Luminor replica watches. It still follows the basic line, including the small three-hand function, stainless steel case, etc., but it has one design that is full of highlights, that is, the dial looks like a normal Panerai is different.

Panerai Luminor Marina PAM01314 follows many classic Panerai designs. The huge pillow-shaped case, patented crown bridge and other devices show the unique beauty of Panerai watches. The diameter of the table is 44 mm. The size of 44 mm is worthy of praise, which is not too big and retains Panerai's own style. The case is made of 316 stainless steel and is finely polished by a polishing process. The case has smooth lines and a smooth texture. The outside of the bezel is polished and wire-drawn by a CNC machine tool, showing a matte effect. The steel of VS is all made of special purity diamond, and it is processed with particularly tough tools. It has to undergo repeated pretreatment and fine grinding to show this delicate and smooth effect.

The white dial is a classic sandwich structure, with a date window and a small seconds dial at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock respectively. "Sandwich" is actually used to describe the structure of the watch dial. Unlike other common dials, the luminous paint of the sandwich dial is not directly coated on the dial, but is coated with Super in the second layer of the dial. -The metal plywood of LumiNova luminous paint, the luminous layer is like a sandwich. The numbers and time scales of this dial structure will be more eye-catching in a poorly lit environment, making reading more convenient. Panerai used the sandwich dial design as early as the late 1930s, and this design was originally developed for functional considerations to ensure that naval commandos can clearly read the time even in low light conditions. The table mirror is made of sapphire glass, the mirror surface is pure and transparent, after anti-glare treatment, it is clearly visible, second only to the hardness of diamond, and no scratches.

The unique crown guard is engraved with REG.T.W, the crown is round, and the winding crown is decorated with serrations, which is convenient for the wearer to grasp and adjust. The cut edges and corners of the lugs are distinct and very textured. The crown still continues the patented classic arch bridge design obtained by Panerai in 1956, which is not only unique in personality, but also protects the crown at all times. This design not only symbolizes the Panerai watch, but can also lock the head to form a good air tightness to prevent water from flowing into the movement, thereby ensuring excellent waterproof performance. Secondly, the guard bridge surrounds the crown, which can effectively protect the crown from collisions, thereby preventing the movement of the movement from being affected by external forces. The self-developed P.9010 movement, this P9010 movement is modified on the basis of the integrated P9001. The structure, appearance and function are completely the same as the original one. The balance wheel position and the defects of the inability to jump the hour hand are corrected, and stability And durability are very good.

Combination of Titanium And Carbon Fiber - Panerai PAM1662 Grey Watch

The Panerai Luminor Marina PAM01662 watch uses a combination of two materials-direct metal laser sintered titanium and Carbotech carbon fiber. The different materials are mixed and matched on the watch to transform it into another refreshing feeling. The titanium metal used in PAM01662 is different from the titanium metal in our impression. The DMLS technology it uses is to sinter the titanium metal powder into a titanium metal layer with a thickness of only 0.03mm, and then stack the titanium metal thin layers layer by layer. Until the case parts of Luminor are shaped, the titanium watch made in this way is more corrosion resistant and lighter in weight. In addition, sandblasting is applied to the surface of the case to make the watch no matter what to watch. It looks more special and more textured than ordinary titanium watches.

The smoky gray dial of Panerai Luminor Marina replica PAM1662 is a relatively rare monochromatic color scheme of Panerai. The case is designed to be lightweight. The titanium case combines the carbon fiber bezel, crown and bridge protection lever, which is very light to wear. The 44mm diameter may be due to the black carbon fiber bezel. It looks a little smaller, and it should be a size that can be managed by Asians. The bottom cover is also made of black DLC titanium, taking into account the change in color. Moreover, because titanium is very skin-friendly, it also reduces the possibility of metal allergy to the part that is close to the wrist.

The case is made of extremely sturdy titanium material, the case body is polished clean and delicate, and the lines are smooth, giving people a very MAN feel. The black bezel is made of a unique composite material Carbotech carbon fiber material, which is made by overlapping carbon fiber thin layers at 7 layers per millimeter, arranged alternately in orientation, and bonded under high temperature and high pressure. In addition to being light, it has excellent properties. The compression resistance and corrosion resistance. The matt black surface is rich in texture and the texture is also very beautiful, and each carbon fiber bezel exhibits a different texture due to the different cutting methods, becoming a unique existence.

The smoky gray dial layout is very exquisite, and there is no graininess that can be seen through the zoom lens. The 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions are decorated with the Panerai brand logo and the watch series. The calendar dial is set at 3 o'clock and the small seconds dial is set at 9 o'clock. The two are symmetrically distributed on the dial, highlighting the beauty of harmony. , The overall atmosphere and without losing the elegant viewing beauty. The scales at 6, 9, and 12 o'clock are Arabic numerals, and the others are spike-shaped scales. The sword-shaped pointer is placed in the center. All hour scales and pointers are covered with gray Super-LumiNova luminous coating, even in poor lighting conditions. Under conditions, the wearer can also read the time clearly and intuitively. We can also see that the luminous filling of VS Panerai 1662 is uniform and full without any overflow. The font of the calendar has also been reprinted and is very neat, and the numbers are not large and small.

The design of the dense bottom greatly improves the water resistance of the whole watch, which can well protect the normal operation of the internal movement. Taking into account the issue of skin-friendliness, the bottom cover is also made of titanium, but Panerai did not forget to plate the bottom cover with black DLC to make the front and back of the watch completely black. The pattern lettering on the bottom cover is all carefully processed by VS, the thickness is fine and there is no flaw.

3 Things About Panerai Luminor Watches

Many of our impressions of Panerai watches today come from the Luminor series, including its sandwich face plate, crown bridge protection device, etc.; however, in the development of the Luminor series for such a long period of time, it has actually been experienced. Many things have gradually evolved into what we see now. It should not be difficult for people who have a little knowledge of watches to distinguish Panerai’s two signature series, Radiomir and Luminor, but we will mention three things about Panerai Luminor replica watches below. , Not everyone knows it. Regarding the causes and consequences of the Luminor series, as long as you figure out the following three things, you will definitely have a better understanding of it.

1. The term Luminor has nothing to do with watches at first

It is said that Panerai began to use the luminous material called Radiomir in 1916 to make instruments and timing tools suitable for military underwater use. However, because Radiomir contains the chemical element of radium, it was later confirmed by the scientific community that it would emit harmful to the human body. Therefore, Panerai began to slowly abandon the use of raw materials that have the advantage of being able to adhere to the surface of the tool in water and glow in the dark environment. Later, in 1949, the brand finally released a new luminous material based on tritium elements, and named it Luminor. In addition to maintaining similar advantages to Radiomir, this material has the most important point that it contains a relatively small amount of radiation, which is used to make watches. It will not affect the human body. Therefore, Luminor was not developed as a watch series at the beginning, but Panerai first developed this luminous material, and then created a new case the next year, and directly named the Luminor luminous material contained on the dial of the watch. .

2. The reason why Luminor uses a pillow-shaped case

In the first half of the 20th century, watches were mainly made of round cases, but why did Luminor and Radiomir adopt pillow-shaped cases instead of round cases? It turns out that this is a coincidence, because the early Panerai was more inclined to sell watches, jewelry and watchmakers, they did not have the ability and equipment to produce their own watches, even if they could assemble their own watches, they still could not cope with what the military needed. The number of products, so the brand had to seek help from third-party manufacturers. You may be a little surprised because the partner Panerai was looking for turned out to be Rolex! Rolex was already known for its Oyster case, which emphasizes water resistance. Therefore, it is only natural that Panerai, who wants to make underwater timepieces, asked Rolex to make watches. Rolex did not have a highly vertical production like today. Ability is similar to the production model of looking for suitable watch parts and combining them. When Panerai was developing the Luminor watch, the main requirement for Rolex was that the diameter of the watch should be large and the watch must be clearly seen in the water. Therefore, they chose to use the pocket watch movement to assemble the watch, and because the art deco style was still popular in that era In the 1940s, the brand chose a pillow-shaped case that looked more special. In particular, Radiomir’s lugs were directly welded at the beginning. It was not until the 1940s that lugs integrated with the case began to appear. This feature continued later. To Luminor. Since then, the pillow-shaped case has become the most classic and signature image of Panerai watches in people's hearts.

3. Luminor's crown bridge protection device is related to the movement used by Panerai

In the middle of the 20th century, the research on diving watches became more and more vigorous, which also derived the screw-in crown, which can greatly improve the waterproof performance of the watch. However, the screw-in crown will cause the accumulation of use times. The thread is smoothed, and the waterproof performance will be affected after the smoothing. Even so, you will find that the classic diving watches born around the 1950s are often equipped with screw-in crowns. The reason is simple: automatic movements at that time The penetration rate of the dipper has become higher, and people have greatly reduced the chance of manual winding, which makes the screw-in type with a diving watch more than enough. But why did Luminor watches have to install a crown guard when they first appeared in the 1950s? In all honesty, the bridge guard is not a creative design, but it can effectively press the crown into the case. Panerai did not install the crown bridge for reasons such as looking to be more dazzling than others or to show off its water resistance. In fact, it was because Panerai’s watches used a high proportion of hand-winding movements at that time, in order to extend It was decided to add an additional bridge guard on the crown of the watch for the service life of the watch. Originally it was just an additional device based on the characteristics of its own products, but it was unexpected that it would become the most representative design of the brand after 70 years.

New Material - Panerai Luminor 1950 Submersible Carbotech

The Panerai Luminor 1950 Submersible Carbotech is a carbon fiber version. Panerai's watches can be traced back to a corresponding counterpart in history, and the main feature of Luminor 1950 is to push the brand's signature-prominent crown protection bridge. The series originates from the model provided to the Egyptian Navy in 1956.

Pull out the lever on the bridge, you can pull out the crown to adjust the set time, push on the lever, you can push the crown back to its original position and fix it firmly, it is more convenient and quick to use, and it is easier Be in a safe position to avoid the embarrassment of water that may turn into the rotating bezel because it is not locked. Submersible is based on this and a unidirectional rotating bezel, which is more in line with modern cognition of the appearance of diving watches (this is also the necessary structure of diving watches).

Design originates from history, but the material is entirely the product of modern technology. The Panerai Luminor 1950 replica watch introduces Carbon Fiber composite Carbotech. This is a strong structure formed by carbon fiber and high-tech polymer PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) by high pressure and high temperature molding.

PEEK is an engineering plastic with a melting point of 334 degrees. It has corrosion resistance and flexibility, and is often used in military applications. Panerai laminates it with carbon fiber and heats it under pressure to create a new material that is hard, corrosion resistant, low allergenic, and weighs only one-third the volume of titanium. Because it is laminated and pressurized, it will form an approximately parallel stacked texture, which is different from the irregular texture of forged carbon; but because of cutting parts, the texture of each watch is different and can be said to be unique. .

The P.9000 self-winding movement is in line with the brand's comprehensive self-made strategy. The entry-level movement created to replace the OP III is similar in size, but the specifications are much higher, such as a dual barrel to achieve a 3-day power reserve. , Two-way winding efficiency is better. Luminor 1950 Submersible Carbotech number PAM00616. The bottom cover is engraved with the words "Florence1860" and a totem of slow speed, indicating the origin and year of the brand, and the historical background of the Luminor 1950 series. This is the first time the brand has embossed a blue rubber strap on a black rubber strap.
