W&W 2020: Panerai Luminor Marina Fibratech – PAM01663

Panerai introduces a new generation of their Fibratech watches: Luminor Marina Fibratech 44 mm (PAM01663). This material is used for the case of this model, however set off and enhanced by Carbotech used for the bezel and the crown bridge lever. 

Obtained with natural and eco-sustainable row fibers, Fibratech is a composite with remarkable physical and mechanical properties. It is 60% lighter than steel, resilient and highly resistant to corrosion.

Fibratech is made from unidirectional mineral fibres produced by the fusion of basalt rock; these fibers, binded with polymers, become thin layers which are superimposed in a precise orientation and then consolidated through a pressure and temperature controlled process.

The new PAM01663 runs with calibre P.9010 that has been entirely conceived and developed by the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel. The 6 mm thin automatic movement is fitted with the function for quickly setting the time, which at the same time modifies the date. The movement has a power reserve of 72 hours, provided by its twin spring barrels.

The new Luminor Marina Fibratech 44 mm is water resistant to 30 bar (300 m) and is worn on a blue Panerai Sportech strap with white stitching.

A second rubber strap in blue is also supplied as well as a dedicated tool for changing. Price: 16,000 euros.
