Panerai introduces the Submersible Elux LAB-ID PAM01800

This past weekend, Panerai revealed an all-new watch that is a world first in terms of materials.

The new Submersible Elux LAB-ID PAM01800 by Panerai marks a significant advancement in the realm of mechanical luminescence, showcasing the brand’s innovative prowess through its Laboratorio di Idee.

Mechanical Luminescence Technology

Energy-Storing Barrels

The watch boasts a fully mechanical movement powered by four energy-storing barrels.

These barrels are integral to converting mechanical energy into electricity, allowing the watch to produce light on demand—a unique feature in the world of horology.

LED Illumination

Activated by a patented pusher-protector system, the LEDs on the dial and bezel can illuminate for up to 30 minutes.

This feat is achieved by a high-speed rotor and microgenerator operating at 80 revolutions per second, generating a high-frequency electrical signal. The lighting system includes a Power Light function and a linear Power Light reserve indicator.

Innovative Material and Case Design

Ti-Ceramitech™ Case

The 49mm case is crafted from ceramized titanium, a material developed through a patent-pending process called Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation.

This process transforms the titanium alloy surface into a dense ceramic layer, resulting in a striking blue hue inspired by the open seas. The ceramized titanium offers higher hardness and fracture toughness compared to traditional ceramics, while also being lighter than steel.

Enhanced Dial and Bezel Features

SuperLuminova® Technology

The dial features SuperLuminova® X2 on the indices and hour hand for vibrant green luminosity. The blue-accented minute hands and bezel dots are illuminated by SuperLuminova® X1, ensuring superior brightness.

Small Seconds Indicator and Rotating Bezel

The dial includes a small seconds indicator at the 9 o’clock position, and a counterclockwise rotating bezel equipped with a patent-pending lighting mechanism.

Signature Design and Protection

Iconic Crown-Protection Bridge

Maintaining Panerai’s signature design, the watch includes the iconic crown-protection bridge, ensuring durability and functionality.

Conclusion

The Submersible Elux LAB-ID PAM01800 is a testament to Panerai’s commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.

Its groundbreaking mechanical luminescence technology, coupled with advanced materials and thoughtful design, sets a new standard in modern watchmaking.

This timepiece not only highlights Panerai’s ability to push traditional boundaries but also enhances practicality and visual appeal for adventurers and watch enthusiasts alike.
