One of the reasons the Panerai watch is instantly recognizable is that there is an excessive design standard for models of (almost) all brands. These include a large cushioned case, a legible dial, some oversized numerals and a bridge crown.
Therefore, if the outline of the fake watch is essentially untouchable, how do you create new models? One way is to use new and innovative materials, which Panerai did in 2015. Let us be familiar with the Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech PAM 616.
Carbotech is the name of the carbon fiber composite material of Panerai until PAM 616, which has never been used for watchmaking before. Carbotech was essentially a carbon fiber layer that was compressed under high pressure with a polymer called polyetherketone (PEEK) to form chunks that could be cut and molded as needed.
The resulting material is not only strong and durable, but also has a charming wavy shape, almost like a marble-like pattern. In addition, the two cases of the Panerai Carbotech PAM 616 will not be the same because of the organic way the pattern was formed. In addition to aesthetics, Carbotech has been ultra-light, hypoallergenic and corrosion resistant – all of which is good when your primary objective is to scuba dive.
To build Luminor Submersible 1950 PAM 616, Panerai shaped Carbotech materials into familiar sea-diving 47 mm watchcase outline, and on the crown is equipped with one-way rotating bezel of diving watches and leverage bridge. Being different from replica watches that are inspired by the vintage watches that Panerai made for the Italian Navy, the Submersible is a series of actual dive watches.
Therefore, Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech PAM 616, waterproof deepness amounts to 300 meters, and provide sufficient lumens. The black dial includes a date window at the 3 o ‘clock position, a second hand at the 9 o ‘clock position, and some small blue touches to add color. The face of the Panerai Submersible Carbotech was a flat sapphire crystal that barely stood out above the bezel.
Flip the watch and you’ll see a titanium back cover with a hard black coating that protects the automatic p.9000 movement inside the watch. The internal p.9000 movement operates at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 times per hour), providing 72 hours of power reserve for the user.
The completion of Carbotech PAM 616 was its very comfortable black rubber watchband. The accordion assembly can be best worn. The blue OP logo matches the details of the dial. The Luminor Submersible 1950 Carbotech PAM 616 managed to retain constitute the basic elements of replica Panerai watch, bring brand-new things at the same time. For fans of carbon fiber and large statement watches, the PAM 616 is an ideal choice.
