DETAILS
Panerai Luminor Submersible Black Dial Automatic Carbotech 47mm PAM00616 Panerai out did themselves with developing this new Carbotech material which has been trademarked by them. The material process begins with thin sheets of carbon fiber, which then bind with a high end polymer, PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone), and are compressed at high temperature. The sheets of carbon fiber are piled on top of each other with the fibers set in a different direction of the sheet above or below. The combination of materials and their arranged structure makes a tougher, more resilient final product than carbon fiber alone, ceramic or titanium. In addition, Carbotech is lighter, non-corrosive, and hypoallergenic. It will not scratch, and any event, which would be on an almost unimaginable scale that could break the watch, would also likely leave the planet uninhabitable.
