Panerai and his diving line from diving awakery hardly need an introduction, since these robust, militarily inspired watches, which were processed for modern adventurers who are rooted in Panerero's mission, to develop precision instruments for the Italian marine accommodation. PAM01697 in stainless steel and the PAM01698 in Carbotech appreciate the historical cooperation of the brand with the Marina Militare, a partnership from the early 20th century. This legacy is now being expanded to honor the Aviazione Navale, the Naval Aviation Division, whose pilots operate in some of the most extreme environments.
The diving military PAM01697 is equipped with a 44 mm brushed 316L steel case, which contains an unidirectional rotating bezel with a green matt ceramic insert. The mass-down housing is engraved with the Aviazione Navale Wings emblem, an element that celebrates its debut in the Panerai collection. The PAM01698 consists of Carbotech, a composite network developed by Panerai, a material that is easier than titanium or ceramic and is resistant to corrosion and external forces. At high temperatures, Carbotech housings consist of layered carbon fiber leaves compressed with pee (polyether ether ketone), and has a unique grain and a unique texture to ensure that no two watches are exactly the same. The fallback is in the DLC-coated titanium and also shows the Aviazione Navale Wings. Both models offer 300 meters of water resistance, whereby Panerai tests each piece beyond 25% beyond the nominal depth, according to the standards for professional diving instruments.
These new references of the military militaries of the Marina militaries lead to design information that are inspired by the uniforms and equipment of the Italian Naval aircraft crew. The dials of both models are represented in a green-grained, matt finish with a black gradient, which reflects the tones that are contained in marine flight equipment and helmets. The indices used were enlarged for an increase in the Super Luminova interface in a tactical gray tone (grade X2), which offers excellent readability in poor lighting or underwater conditions. The small seconds subdial are reminiscent of a radar screen with a subtle engraving of the anchor insignia of the Aviazione Navale, and the marina military signature at six o'clock, the design connects the design with Panereras military roots.
Both watches are driven by the Panerai P.900 caliber, an automatic movement made by Valfleurier, the joint movement facility of the Richemont Group. During Panerai's brand, the P.900 has its architecture with Cartiers 1847 MC, the 32000 series of IWC and Baum & Merciers Baumatic. The caliber is compact and efficient and measures a diameter of 28 mm and is 4.2 mm thick, which enables a relatively slim profile, despite the tool observation image of the watches. It works with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations/hours, uses a single barrel for its 3-day performance reserve and contains a stop-second mechanism for a precise setting. An Incabloc-Anti shock system improves shock resistance and corresponds to the mission-oriented design of the watches.
With the rough construction of these military models for the Marina-Marina, a green canvas belt with tone-on-tone seams is caused by military textile equipment. Both watches are also delivered with an additional black rubber belt, ideal for diving or wet conditions. The PAM01697 has a stainless steel flair, while the PAM01698 is combined with a DLC-coated titanium buckle and corresponds to the dark matt aesthetics of its housing.
The diving militare Pam01697 must be evaluated 12,100 EURThe PAM01698 in Carbotech sold for 18,900 EUR. Certainly not the best accessible watches, but these Aviazione naval-inspired models have a proper flair. For more information, see Panererai.com.
