Replica Panerai Submersible S Brabus Black Ops Edition
Panerai, a luxury watchmaker pursuing Italian sensibility and Swiss precision, has launched a unique special edition in partnership with German automotive tuning specialist Brabus. Inspired by the design of Brabus’ luxury boat line, Shadow Black Ops, the product name was also named the Submersible S Brabus Black Ops Edition.
The Submersible S Brabus Black Ops Edition is presented in a 47mm Carbotech™ case. The unidirectional rotating bezel and trademark-protected crown guard (safety lock crown protector) are all made of Carbotech™ to give a sense of unity. Developed and manufactured in-house at the replica Panerai Laboratorio di Idee in Neuchatel, Switzerland, Carbotech™ is used as a material for the aerospace industry by stacking very thin layers of carbon fiber in alternating directions. It is a new synthetic material obtained by high-pressure compression with Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK), a high-tech polymer that is also used as a high-tech polymer. It has a strong character.
As the first original fruit of a marine-based collaboration between Panerai and Brabus, the movement and dial design are also far from traditional Panerai styles. The Panerai brand introduces an automatic skeleton movement for the first time, exposing key components through an openwork dial and decoration reminiscent of a black ops boat engine grille. It is the result of directly referring to the appearance of the Black Ops boat, which is the result of applying intense red as a point color to the hands coated with Super-LumiNova while finishing the entire matte black color.
The new in-house automatic caliber P.4001/S is based on the P.4000 series, which shares an off-center micro-rotor design, with date and GMT functions, day/night (AM/PM) indicator, power reserve indicator (movement side). ), it can be said that the existing P.4001 modified by adding skeleton processing and black coating finish is a variation. There is no significant functional change, but as mentioned earlier, there is a dramatic change in the product concept, so the overall feel of the watch is quite different.
Comprising of 341 parts and 31 jewels, the P.4001/S caliber vibrates 28,800 per hour (frequency of 4 Hz), and its double barrel design guarantees a power reserve of about 3 days (72 hours). In addition, when the crown is pulled up to the second stage, it supports stop seconds (hack function) and seconds reset (zero-reset) function, making it easier and more accurate to set the time. Through the see-through case back, you can see the black-plated tungsten micro-rotor, the circular power-reserve indicator, and the barrel with the grill decoration and the exposed cover. As presented in the Submersible Collection, a professional diver’s replica watches, it is guaranteed to be waterproof up to 300 meters. Meanwhile, the strap is fitted with a black rubber lining and a gray fabric strap engraved with the Brabus logo on one side, with a black DLC-coated titanium buckle fastened, and a Velcro-style Panerai Sportec strap is provided with interchangeable tools.
The Submersible S Brabus Black Ops Edition (Ref. PAM01240) is a limited edition of 100 pieces and can be purchased at selected Panerai boutiques worldwide. The official retail price is 45,200 Swiss Francs (CHF). The exact domestic release schedule and price have not yet been disclosed.
