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
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.
