Best regards, Fred Tan Email: Fred_Tan@me.com Singapore PERSONAL NOTE: - This is a recently completed piece with movement release certification date that’s only few weeks old - This combination of ceramic that’s pressed from ceramic powder & hardened black coated titanium & mvmt bridges is what a tool watch should be - strong, rugged and yet elegant - This is the strongest & most robust yet elegant and useful watch in the mart right now CASE, LEVER, PUSH-BUTTON, CROWN PROTECTOR & BEZEL: - High-tech zirconia black ceramic case, lever, crown, push button, crown protector & bezel - High-tech ceramic is highly valued for its scratch resistance, durability, lightweight, and smooth touch - Highly resistant to shocks and corrosive agents as well as to scratches and abrasions - Zirconia has extremely high fracture toughness and this significantly extends the reliability and lifetime - 5x harder than steel - High-tech ceramic is introduced due to pitting issue on stainless steel case, crown, caseback & bezel that will lead to irreparable leakage when exposed to elements beyond 20 years. - Not just a machine milled ceramic that’s prone to nano-cracks like what other brands do. This is defect-free, flawless crystal, crack-free ceramic thanks to state-of-the-art micro-isostatic pressing painfully slow process that merges powder zirconia with just pure brute pressure - Isostatic process is used mainly for large objects’ fabrication like turbine & engine parts. No one has ever used this intricate high-tech new process for small watch parts. Panerai is the industry pioneer in fabricating micro-isostatic parts for the tiny push button, bezel, crown, buckle, crown protector & lever for the Black Knight - Other brands use forged carbon that is weak when compressed or exposed to high shock, old-tech, very cheap, extremely fast & easy to make but mark up the price as if it’s the ultimate material when it’s not. Panerai select an uncompromising, really expensive, slow, complex, defect-free isostatic pressed ceramic as it’s the strongest & robust material that can be fabricated into a watch parts. - Other brands only use weakened milled ceramic on the case & use PVD Ti for the rest. Panerai use flawless, strong, robust & scratch-resistance machine-free isostatic ceramic not only for it’s case but for it’s push button, bezel, crown, buckle, crown protector & lever as well, which is industry first. - Only a handful PAM317 has reach market due to severely long production time caused by high technical challenges in fabricating the ceramic parts without machining. - The ceramic isostatic pressing fabrication process on such a small tiny parts for this watch is painfully complex, intricate & extremely slow, very expensive & very hard to repeat with good precision, stability & accuracy - which explains for the long waitlist & low delivery - Matt-finished smooth-feeling feather-like ceramic case, push button, lever, crown, push button, crown protector & bezel that’s very desirable MOVEMENT - Physical Vapor Deposited (PVD) on Diamond-Like-Coating (DLC) bridges (movement plates) to marvelously compliment the matted ceramic surfaces harmoniously. - New P.2004/B specification tolerance for to allow thicker bridges (movement plate) - High rejects during mvmt assembly - There’s no room for rework if the PVD bridges are scratched due to slipped screwdriver or toolings – which explain why this watch is slow to reach the mart, aside from the mind-boggling ceramic processes! - Hand-wound mechanical 3-barrels - Panerai P.2004/B calibre, executed in-house entirely by Panerai - No parts are derived anywhere outside Switzerland unlike some major luxury brands - 13¾ lignes, 8.2 mm thick, 29 jewels - Glucydur® balance, 28,800 alternations/hour - KIF Parechoc® anti-shock device - Power reserve 8 days with linear indicator, three barrels - 321 components CASEBACK: - Physical Vapor Deposited (PVD) on very strong & hard Diamond-Like-Coating (DLC) Titanium screw caseback - See-through sapphire crystal.
