The new Panerai Submersible S BRABUS PAM01403 continues the narrative of
disruptive and spectacular concepts in partnership between Panerai and BRABUS.
A DMLS Engineered Skeleton timepiece
The 47mm case is made of eTitanio™, a 100% recycled titanium powder derived from pre-consumer scraps titanium alloy, and crafted using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technology. Panerai ranks is among the first and remains one of the world’s very few watchmakers to utilize this technique – resulting in a structure that is lighter in weight and characterized by a uniform appearance that is nearly impossible to achieve via traditional methods.
Courtesy of a precise 3D printing process, the watch case materializes seemingly out of thin air, as it is constructed by adding material rather than removing it. Layer upon layer, titanium powder is fused together by high-power fiber optic laser sintering, transforming into a solid material and creating a shape from nothingness.The DMLS titanium watch weighs a mere 115g, with the case alone coming in at 23.6g. This DMLS case is approximately 30% lighter than the standard titanium case.
At the heart of the Submersible S is one of Laboratorio di Idee’s high-end complications –
the Skeleton Caliber. The watch features a micro-rotor that ensures automatic winding, providing a power reserve of up to 3 days. A GMT function with a second bicolor hour hand and AM/PM indicator is also
included, underlining the watch’s functionality and versatility.
The watch is paired with two distinct bracelets: the first, a bi-material black calf strap, and
the second, a black strap made of 68% recycled PET from post-consumer wastes.
PAM01403 is a boutique exclusive time, limited to 177 pieces worldwide, an homage to
the year BRABUS was founded – 1977.
