Panerai has released the Submersible Elux LAB ID PAM01800 which features Elux technology for lighting in a variety of situations.Interestingly,the replica watch has a case made of Ti Ceramitech material and is water resistant up to 500 meters.
In 1966,Panerai replica acquired a new material called”Elux”,or short for”Elettroluminescenza”,meaning”electroluminesence”.This is a radioactive material that can be used to illuminate a variety of materials,even in a dark room.Panerai has developed electroluminescent panels,which consist of different sized,shockproof and energy efficient light surfaces.
Previously,the technology was used extensively by the Italian Navy,from lighting panels in command centers to helicopter landing signals on military docks.This Elux technology was then adopted by Panerai and applied to the Elux LAB ID PAM01800 submersible,which has high visibility as well as strong endurance.
After seven years of research,Panerai replica introduced a new material called Ti Ceramitech.The device is produced by the titanium ceramization process using plasma electrolytic oxidation to transform the titanium surface into a hard ceramic layer.Ti Ceramitech is said to be 44%lighter than steel and 10 times lighter than steel and more crack resistant than ceramics.
The device is applied to a blue Panerai Submersible LAB ID PAM01800 case and measures 49mm in diameter and 12.6mm thick.Additionally,the Ti Ceramitech material is painted in matching colors on the case and is water resistant up to 500 meters,coupled with a blue rubber strap that is comfortable to wear while diving.
Thanks to Elux technology,the PAM01800 is equipped with a power light that can be activated when necessary,with a total duration of 30 minutes.This function is powered by the energy of the barrel,thereby triggering 8 microgenerators measuring 2.3 mm including a magnet that moves a rotor coil that rotates 80 times per second and generates a high electronic frequency of 240 Hz to light the lamp.This function can be activated via a hidden push button on the back at the 8 o’clock position The icon,bright spot light and hands form a light green color.The power indicator is located at the 6 o’clock position above and can indicate the remaining power available to turn the clock on.
Meanwhile,the hands,icon and dot frame on the bezel have a Super LumiNova coating.The green frame accents on the sleeve and icon index use Super LumiNova X2,which provides 10%higher brightness than the Super LumiNova X1.
The replica watch is powered by a Panerai caliber P.9010 automatic movement.The movement features 55 jewels pulsing at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour,in addition to a power reserve of up to 3 days,a Glucydur®balance,6 barrels,4 patented systems as well as Incabloc has®shock resistant function.Therefore,there is no reason to doubt the performance of PAM01800 as it has reliable performance.
The movement is then protected by a hard casing back made of Ti Ceramitech material.The lettering”ELUX”glows in the dark thanks to the technology used by Elux.
