We will be launching a new replica Panerai Radiomir Black Seal watch this week. What do you think of at the mention of Panerai? "Ocean, of course."

A Small Brand Profile of Panerai

The history of Panerai started from 1860, it was known for producing precision instruments and excellent quality at that time. In the beginning, it only made precision instruments and wrist watches for the Italian Royal Navy. Today, Panerai has been one of the most famous advanced sports watch brands in the world. With the design inspiration coming from the ocean, it positions itself as a sports and casual advanced watch brand. Italian design style and Swiss expertise make each Panerai watch have distinctive characteristics and excellent quality.

In 1860, Guido Panerai, the founder of Panerai company, had shown its talent in watch-making, at that time, Panerai exclusively supplied the Italian Navy precision instruments and compass, in the early 20th century, Guido Panerai opened a watch shop in Florence, this shop later became the official authorized dealer of Rolex and Patek Philippe.

In 1936, Panerai released their first wrist watch, which was equipped with Angelus movement, this watch was made at the request of the Italian Navy.

In 1938, Radiomir watch that was produced by Panerai officially became the permanent exclusive product of the Italian Royal Navy.

In 1997, Panerai was acquired by Richemont Group and pushed to international market, under the control of production and unique marketing strategy, Panerai storm immediately swept the whole world. Today, there are no other watch brands that can replace the unique status of Panerai, which is leading the fashion trend with its "large face", in the development, it not only continued to introduce new masterpieces and technology, but also follow its Italian design tradition.

In 2002, Panerai opened a store in Hong Kong, this was the first boutique that was opened in Asia, the second was located in Shanghai. Hong Kong boutique was set up on the first floor of Prince's Building, where many world-famous brand shops gathered. The customers of this boutique came from different countries, including watch lvoers and collectors, this store not only sold Panerai common series products, but also supplied special edition watches that were produced each year.

Replica Panerai Ferrari Chronograph PVD Black

It is common that one watch series usually includes several models which are different in material, color, function or something else. Then one question suddenly comes to my mind: face of so many unfamiliar even unheard of watch models, how do you make a wise choice to buy a favorite, practical and suitable one? Some people will depend on their thought, some will rely on their feeling, and some will not make a decision, which indicates that many to choose mean no choice. I have ever heard such a sentence: "Life is a comedy to him who thinks and a tragedy to him who feels." Do you agree and how do you figure out this situation? Certainly, it is the best to use your thought and feeling at the same time. How about taking the Panerai replica watches as an example to verify the effectiveness?


These two watches are respectively crafted in a solid 304L stainless steel and black PVD coating cases; both are in the range of Panerai Ferrari California. At first sight, which one do you prefer to? Why? You may find that they are very alike, featuring black grid dial, two sub-dials, yellow long and short pointers, white Arabic hour markers and minute indexes, black leather strap with yellow stitching, so the apparent different point lies in the case. If you are unfamiliar with some specific professional watch knowledge about case material, it is really difficult for you to make a choice? At this moment, the only thing you will be dependent on is your own feeling. Sometimes it works, but sometimes you regret buying it after you take it to home. Therefore, master a little basic expertise about watch, along with a little intuition, the result will be different and may be more reliable.

As far as these two Panerai Ferrari watches are concerned, you have been told that one is made of 304L stainless steel and the other is with black PVD coating, then can you tell me the distinction between them? In fact, the watch with black case is actually in the basis of the 304L stainless steel, but with the addition of a layer of PVD which is the abbreviation of Physical Vapor Deposition that occurs in vacuum at working pressure and generally involves bombardment of the substrate to be coated with energetic positively charged ions during the coating process to promote high density. This physical film is characteristic of high strength, abrasive resistance, heat dissipation and anti-corrosion. That is to say, watch case with PVD coating can be better able to protect from scratching.

After listening to my introduction, you know the answer now? So to make a right selection, you should look deeper than the surface. Keep asking "why".

Panerai Mare Nostrum Special Edition 2010 PAM 300 Watch Review

As a part of the collections at the Officine Panerai Museum in Florence, the Panerai Mare Nostrum Special Edition 2010 PAM 300 enables creation of a new Mare Nostrum an extraordinary model from a collectors' point of view.

The 52 mm diameter case of Mare Nostrum is made of AISI 316L brushed steel. The whole case comes in a tonneau shape with especially strong lugs. However, due to the wide flat bezel with ridged edge on which, the PAM 300 looks round. Bezel and case back are both made of brushed steel. The screw-down back plate has four grooves to assist unscrewing. Unlike the original, Panerai Mare Nostrum Special Edition 2010 PAM 300 features a sapphire crystal window through which the movement can be seen. The winding crown is engraved with the inscription Mare Nostrum. Brushed steel push-buttons for the chronograph functions is at 2 and 4 o'clock.


The black dial of PAM 300 represents in two levels. The outer, upper ring bears small Arabic numerals, stick hour markers and round minute markers. The central level carries the names of the brand and model and the two subsidiary dials. Of course, the hour markers and hands are all coated with luminescent material, providing legibility even in dark place. This unique dial is protected by a 1.6 mm thick anti-reflective sapphire crystal.


Panerai Mare Nostrum Special Edition 2010 PAM 300 is animated by exclusive Panerai OP XXV calibre hand-wound mechanism. This 22 jewels movement features 12 3/4 lignes with monometallic Glucydur balance, Incabloc anti-shock device and Swan's neck regulator. It beats in 18,000 alternations per hour.

Replica Panerai Ferrari Rattrapante Black PVD


It is obvious by now that there is little chemistry between Panerai and Ferrari. Though mixing two good things doesn't always make a great thing, the match of this Panerari Ferrari watch is perfect and unprecedented after all. Absorbing essence and casting away the disadvantage make this watch sought-after and top-ranking in the Panerai and Ferrari watch world. It is also a hot item that is well received by watch fans and collectors. On one occasion, I incredibly got a Panerai Ferrari watch from one of my friends. It is a replica, which highly imitates the same original Panerai watch. To further find out more differences between the replica and original, I specially searched for some photos and put them in this post. If you are interested in, you can carefully analyze and compare them.


By comparison, can you find out the differences between them? Both of them are characteristic of a black dial, two red and one black small dials. The biggest difference lies in the number of pointers; the replica has three, and the genuine has four. Additional hand of the genuine is a Rattrapante pointer. In fact, the genuine is a real Chrono-Rattrapante watch, yet; the replica is just a chronograph watch. Besides this, another difference is the scale of the minute-counter, the genuine is marked the 30-minute, and however, the replica is the 24-minute. As a whole, their design and appearance is very similar, but the price and quality is a world of differences. Therefore, to buy which one primarily depends on your budget and personal preference.

In the following, I will focus on describing the replica Panerai Ferrari Rattrapante watch.


Crafted in a black PVD case measuring 45 mm, this Panerai Ferrari replica is lovely and calm. The shape of case inherits the consistent design of Panerai, beyond that; there is nothing special on the case. It's better to concentrate on the dial design. Secured by the transparent glass face, we can clearly and completely appreciate the full view of this black dial, which is mainly inspired by Ferrari's character. This source of inspiration can be reflected in the Ferrari's prancing horse logo and red tone often used in the Ferrari racing cars. Yellow, red and black constitute the whole style and taste of this replica watch, which is fresh and piquant. Red takes the lead among these three kinds of color and is embodied in the small second sub-dial, 30-minute and 12-hour counters, as well as the chronograph hand and "TACHYMETER" lettering. There's one more thing that you cannot ignore is the soul of this watch – a Japanese Miyota Quartz movement, which hides in the stainless steel case embellished with a prancing horse against the red background at the center, around which is carved the check pattern.

Through the detail description above, are you eager to own such a replica Panerai watch? If yes, don't hesitate and hurry up!

Replica Panerai Radiomir Marina Militare PVD Black

When it comes to the color black, what impression will come into your head in advance? As far as I know, black gives expression to multi-layer connotation. On the one hand, it is positive, which associates you with solemnness, seriousness, perseverance and mysteriousness; on the other hand, it is negative, which is reminiscent of darkness, fear, scare, coldness, and painfulness and evil. All these make me have a new insight to black. Therefore, in this new round of watch release, I specially select a full black watch of Panerai, which is quite simple and fashionable.
I extremely believe that what it brings to your mind at first sight is absolutely the great feeling. This new replica Panerai watch named Radiomir Marina Militare exactly copies the same original Panerai watch model which was launched at SIHH 2010. Though this replica makes some changes in color, the whole design and appearance is 100 % the same as the original. Now let's compare these two watches (left is a replica in black, right is an original in brown).

To know about this replica Panerai Radiomir Marina Militare watch, how about have a quick view of its specification?

Model: PVD case, black dial, yellow markers, small seconds, black leather strap
Movement: Asia 6497 manual winding movement
Material: Solid 316 stainless steel with black PVD coating
Crystal: Sapphire crystal scratch durable glass face
Dimensions: 45 mm
Water-Resistant



Black PVD case measuring 45 mm closely protects the inner parts of this imitation. Under the sapphire crystal glass face is the black dial inset Arabic/stick hour makers in SuperLumiNova lumen, and small seconds subdial t 9 o'clock. The "8 Giorni Brevatto" text is on the opposite side of the sub-seconds dial, which is taken from some historic Panerai models, additionally, the "Marina Militare" lettering is looking at the "Panerai" lettering face to face. A necessary component of this watch to adjust the time is the crown, which is now solely and elegantly standing on the case lateral without any setoff. Open the solid case back, you will see the heart of this watch – an Asia 6497 manual winding movement, which is exquisitely and orderly composed of plenty of small parts, to greatly assure the precise time display and provide the regular energy for this watch.

Replica Panerai Chronograph Asian Valjoux 7750

On the verge of Chinese Mid-autumn Day, we fortunately welcomed a superlative full stainless steel replica Panerai Chronograph watch which is driven by high-performance Asian Valjoux 7750 movement. Why don't you buy a special gift for yourself or your family and friends in this pleasurable autumn. There is no doubt that this Panerai Chronograph replica watch with Asian Valjoux 7750 movement. Now, let's share its excellence together.

This is a watch fully created with 316L stainless steel. Here I will put the Panerai replica watch aside for a while. Let's first know more about the stainless steel - the most frequently used materials used to make watch. There are several types of the SS, and they are type 302, type 304, type 304L, type 316 and type 316L. The type 316L stainless steel has a carbon content lower than 316 to avoid carbide precipitation in welding applications. Machinability - 45%. Drawing or stamping - good. Welding -very good, recommended for welding. Compared to chromium-nickel austenitic SS, 316L stainless steel offers higher creep, stress to rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperatures. This material is corrosion resistant, heat resistant and hot and cold working. It is really a perfect application in making watch components. This replica Panerai Chronograph watch is made from this excellent material. The case, crown locking system, bracelet and the case back all come in 316L stainless steel with fine finish. It is a brilliant timepiece.


At the first sight, I was impressed by the harmonious collocation of colours representing on the dial. Of course, the black dial is still the classic feature of a Panerai watch. This time it matches three silver subdials which seems to be more aesthetic in vision. The stick hours markers, hour and minute hands, the hands of subdials come in green luminescence while the Arabic numerals with white luminous coating. The second hand represents in bright red. All these colours give the watch lovers an aesthetic and elegant dial.

The Swiss grade accurate and reliable Asian Valjoux 7750 movement marks this Panerai Chronograph watch a high-end and authentic replica watch. If you are still thinking that a Asian copy movement is a cheap and low quality one, then you are definitely wrong. The skills of making high-performance movement in Asian watch markets are very advanced and progressive. Every production process is manually finished by skillful watchmaking masters. Tha Asian Valjoux 7750 movement is not only 100% same as the Swiss Valjoux 7750, but also works as the original Swiss 7750. In replica watch markets, the Asian Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement is using 25 jewels with 28,800 beat versions. It is 13.25 ligne (30 millimeter) design, 7.9 millimeters thick. It provides the hours, minutes, seconds, date and chronograph functions, seconds: running Secs at 9.00 subdials, chronograph: 3.00 subdial - minute counter, 6.00 subdials, hour counter.
This Panerai Chronograph replica watch bears the same classic design and excellent performance, elegant, fashion, high-end and authentic, It is truly a fabulous timepiece for tasteful gentlemen.

Panerai Ferrari Chronograph Pink Gold


Combining the same Italian creation and excellent craftsmanship, the cooperation between Panerai and Ferrari brings us an outstanding Ferrari Engineered by Officine Panerai.

For Panerai's engineers, this is a challenging and ambitious project. Ferrari is the most successful and most famous car manufacturer in the world. They have to deeply study and research Ferrari car's design, culture and tradition, in order to get inspirations for its Ferrari Engineered by Officine Panerai watch collection. These watches obviously differ from Panerai's traditional watch models. However, they all bear Panerai's strong characteristics. And apparently Panerai did excellently in this thing.

The Ferrari Engineered by Officine Panerai Chronograph Pink Gold 45mm watch is a special limited edition launched in 2008. There are only 50 pieces all over the world. The special watch demonstrates the soul of Ferrari's history. It is a classic and modern Panerai watch with reliability, robustness and accuracy features. This watch is water tight to 100 meters. Square case with rounded corners, 45mm diameter, the unique aerodynamic shape design make people think of the gentle curve of Ferrari sports car. The case is treated with matting and polishing. The two pushers and crown are decorated with square grid Microhyla for convenient operation. The crown is engraved Ferrari's famous Prancing Horse logo. The case back is protected by sapphire crystal galss, through which you can appreciate the movement. It is engraved with "Engineered by Officine Panerai".

Every detail of the watch is very refined. The dial comes in matte black. The outer ring on the dial is tachymeter scale and the inner ring is minute marking. The continuous seconds and 30-minute chronograph counters respectively locate at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. The shape of counters, the style of red hands, the inscriptions, the figures form and the dial color are all inspired by the graphics and symbols of Ferrari antique car's dashboard.

The pink gold watch is animated by Panerai OP XX VIII movement which is 12¾ lignes in diameter. The movement comes from a antique movement produced by Swiss movement manufacturer Minerva company. This company has ever precise minute and second chronograph during 1930s and 1940s. Now, the Minerva company has been incorporated into the Richemont Group. Using this old movement is not just a simple assembly. The 50 movements are all dismantled and polished by Panerai's technicians. The Incabloc anti-shock device and Glucydur balance are both improved. However, they still use the original adjusting screws. After improvement, the old Minerva movement is now a new excellent precise one. It beats at 18,000 VPH.
Panerai offers two strap selections for this new Panerai Ferrari watch. The first is the traditional hand-sewn alligator leather strap. The second one is sport style rubber strap with "Ferrari" word.

Replica Panerai Radiomir Black Seal PVD Black


 

Highly copied from its counterpart – original Panerai, this replica Panerai Black Seal watch reappears its character and quality, giving full play to the optimal advantages. Design of this imitation is simple and basic without any redundant adornment, and every element plays an important role to take part in the manufacture of this watch.

When speaking of this Radiomir series, we have to mention of its historic event: it was the first watch created by Officine Panerai and in the memory of the value men who wore the Panerai at the beginning of the 1940s. The step of its evolvement has never stopped. Up to this day, Radiomir has gone through several changes both in appearance and function. Here, let's collectively witness the charm and innovation of its subordinate series: the latest replica Panerai Radiomir Black Seal watch.


Characterized by the black PVD cushion-shaped case, this Radiomir Black Seal replica watch boasts the large case which measures 45 mm and is water resistant. Legibility of the black dial is quite clear due to the luminous material of the markers, hands and lettering. At 9 o’clock is likewise placed a small second dial as usual.


Compared with genuine Radiomir Black Seal, this replica has one obvious distinction, which depends on the decoration of the dial. The genuine has one more torpedo pattern reproduced at 6 o'clock, while the imitated watch is none.

 

On the other hand, in contrast to the traditional Radiomir Black Seal watch, besides the selection of material, the big change of this new replica lies in the design of the 3 o'clock position. The previous model is set with a date window for decorative and functional purposes, while, at present, this kind of design has been replaced with an Arabic numeral "3" to indicate the 3 o'clock. Another difference is the lettering. The former has "Automatic" word beneath the "Panerai" on the contrary; the present model leaves out the "Automatic", and only remains "Panerai" lettering.

All of these three Panerai Radiomir Black Seal watches, no matter genuine or replica, are powered by a manual winding movement. To facilitate the watch fans to appreciate the construction of this movement and allow them to get a thorough understanding of its mechanism, we now open the case back for a special purpose. Hope you enjoy and love it.

Swiss ETA 6497 Replica Panerai Luminor Base Logo

Except for the official website, the Italian luxury watch brand Panerai has another brotherhood web known as http://www.paneristi.com/. This is an ideal and perfect forum for all Panerai collectors and lovers. They gether there to share experiences, exchange information and make comments. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Officine Panerai company specially launched a limited edition - the Luminor Base PAM 360 watch model.


It is really hard to touch such a world top excellent masterpiece. Fortunately, it is my pleasure that I am able to appreciate an authentic and high-end replica version of this watch.

At the first sight, I was really fooled by this replica model, black dial and case, brown leather strap with white stitching, luminous hour markers, they look like the same as the original version showing. While keeping close observation, there are some differences with its real version.

From the pictures above, we can see that the colour tone of the two watches truly exists distinctions. The most obvious is the finishing of case. You will feel comfortable and pleasurable to appreciate the smooth, soft-looking and finely polished black case of the original one. While the replica one's seems to be a little rough and hard. Of course, this is due to the different coating materials they have. The case, bezel, crown guard, crown and buckle of the original PAM 360 are all coated with DLC (Diamond-like Carbon). However, the replica one's are just ordinary PVD coating. However, the use of titanium make this replica watch light and precious. Same teamed with brown vintage leather strap, the colour of replica model is deeper which is tend to be orange-like. Actually, compared to the original light brown, this deeper colour tone is more matchable with the whole watch in my opinion.

Cheap Replica Panerai Luminor GMT PVD Black




GMT is one significant watch function invented to figure out the problem of time indication in a foreign country. It enables the local time and the time elsewhere to be read simultaneously. With the increasing development of the watch industry, many watch brands gradually master this technology and adopt it in their watch mechanism. What I am going to talk about is exactly a GMT replica watch from a world noted brand – Panerai, one series of which fitly takes example by this function and creates a wide range of models with GMT. This series is named "Luminor GMT."

At first sight, the arresting full black PVD all around this replica Panerai Luminor GMT watch body catches my eyes instantly. The uniform tone of case, dial and strap accentuates the powerful momentum reflected by this robust timepiece. What’s more, the adornment of black greatly highlights the brightness of these green luminous stick/Arabic numeral hour markers. The dual markers consist of the outer GMT markers and inner home time markers, providing you the optimal time zone indication. A round magnify glass is rightly above the date window, so as to improve the date legibility. Half skeleton sword-shaped hour and minute hands, as well as the GMT hand with luminous triangle tip are lazily displaying the time. A small subdial at 9 o’clock is used as small seconds, which is indicated by a luminous leaf-shaped small pointer. The large fluted crown on the case lateral is protected well by an enclosed shoulder. The energy provider comes from a gold-plated ST2509 Automatic movement, which can be viewed and appreciated through the transparent case back.

In general, this replica Panerai Luminor GMT black pvd watch is your ideal choice when going abroad due to the dual time display. Besides, its clear readability and tight protector provide the great convenience for you at any time and at any places.
