This process of futuristic 3D printing involves the sedimentation of titanium powder, sintered layer by layer by a high-powered optical fibre laser, 30 microns (0,03 mm) at a time.
The bezel, crown and lever of the Safety Lock crown protection bridge are made of Carbotech
The bezel, crown and lever of the Safety Lock crown protection bridge are made of Carbotech, a carbon composite developed by the Panerai Laboratorio di Idee.
