Officine Panerai presents the new LAB-ID concept watch, the actual Submersible Elux LAB-ID PAM01800.
LAB-ID (“Laboratorio di Idee”, Italian with regard to “Laboratory of Creativity”) brings together Panerai’s technical expertise to represent the brand’s commitment in order to constantly seeking innovative methods to improve the standards and performance associated with its creations, starting with the particular LAB-ID Luminor 1950 Carbotech PAM700, first launched in 2017.
the Submersible Elux LAB-ID is a completely mechanical watch with 6 barrels and 4 trademarked systems that convert typically the mechanical energy stored in often the barrels into light power, illuminating the dial, fingers and bezel.
Elux, short for " elettroluminescenza" (electroluminescence), is a technologies patented by Panerai upon June 15, 1966. At first, Elux was used in electroluminescent panels designed to enhance the luminescence of instruments on Italian Navy ships.
Its Power Light functionality can be activated on with regard to a total of 30 minutes through opening the patented push-button protection system and pushing the pusher at eight o'clock.
This particular illuminates the 12 hours markers on the dial, the actual patented hands and the spots on the unidirectional rotating viser. The linear power reserve indication at 6 o'clock displays the remaining energy of the lighting.
This small 8 x 2 . three mm micro-generator uses customized coils, magnets and stators to optimize energy effectiveness. It uses a high-speed one that rotates 80 occasions per second and creates a high-frequency electrical transmission of 240 Hz.
Illuminating moving components such as the hands (patented) as well as bezel markings (patent pending) is particularly challenging, requiring the present to be conducted to the board outside the case while maintaining outstanding water resistance.
The actual hour markers and hour or so hands are in green Super-LumiNova X2, now in a brand new grade that is 10% better than Super-LumiNova X1 right after 180 minutes in night. The blue minute hands and the dot on the frame are in Super-LumiNova X1.
The watch has a forty-nine mm diameter case made from Ti-Ceramitech, a ceramicized ti material developed by Panerai utilizing a plasma electrolytic titanium o2 ceramicization process. This process changes the surface of the titanium alloy right into a dense ceramic layer. It really is 44% lighter than metal and has a fracture strength 10 times higher than ceramic.
Water resistance is going to withstand pressures up to fifty bar (~500 m/1, 600 ft).
The particular self-winding P. 9010/EL la mecanique consists of 363 parts, operates at a frequency of twenty-eight, 800 vibrations per hour and it is equipped with six barrels: 4 barrels are dedicated to providing the power required for the 30-minute on-demand Power Light function and also two barrels are dedicated to sustaining a three-day chronograph reserve of power.
