Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. In this review, we will introduce the VS Factory Panerai Luminor Series PAM01118 carbon fiber wristwatch. This model is also the 70th anniversary limited edition launched by Panerai in 2020, with a total of 270 pieces. The PAM01118 features a carbon fiber case. Previously, VS Factory has also released two other 70th anniversary limited editions: the Panerai PAM01117 with a titanium case and the Panerai PAM01119 with a basalt carbon fiber case. Watch enthusiasts interested in these models can check Bokey blog for more details. Below, we will discuss the craftsmanship details of this VS Factory Panerai Luminor Series PAM01118 with a carbon fiber case to see if it is worth buying and collecting!
First, let’s look at the overall design of the watch. The Panerai PAM01118 can be said to incorporate many iconic design elements of Panerai, with almost all the features you can imagine present in this timepiece. For example, the sandwich dial, carbon fiber case, super-luminous coating, two-and-a-half-hand design, and crown guard are all signature hallmarks of Panerai.
And in terms of the overall weight of the watch, it is relatively light, with a diameter of 44 mm, a thickness of 14.9 mm, and a weight of only 113 grams. Like the 312, 359 and other steel watches that we are familiar with in the past, the thickness is about 16 mm, and the weight has to go to about 160 grams, which is very heavy to get started, and it is very “unfriendly” to friends with small wrists.
VS Factory Panerai Lumino PAM01118 Carbon Fiber Watch Detail Review:
Looking at the details again, the carbon fiber pattern of the bezel of the VS factory Panerai 1118 is not like Richard’s very broken texture, but like the annual rings of a tree, which is ring-shaped, which is also the right version, and it is also very characteristic and looks very comfortable.
The mirror is made of sapphire glass, which is highly transparent as a whole. It features the classic Panerai sandwich dial, with delicate black radial patterns on the black dial. These subtle black radial patterns exhibit different visual effects when viewed from various angles.
The font printing is also in place, and there will be no ink overflow.
The hour and minute hands and the small seconds at nine o’clock are luminescent coating, the polishing of the hands is relatively clean and neat, and there is no roughness after macro magnification, and the central axis of the hands is also a polished solid metal shaft.
The whole case shape of the carbon fiber case is also relatively correct, concave and convex, and it is also a longitudinal line of the version in terms of grain direction.
The carbon fiber handle and the bridge are inlaid with luminous filling,
The titanium back is blackened with DLC and features an engraving of the 70th anniversary, as well as an inscription on the watch, as well as a limited edition of 270 pieces, the 110th one. The movement is still the P9000 movement produced by the VS factory, and the genuine product is the P9010 movement, the two are different in the way of adjusting the calendar, P9000 is driven by the fast hour hand, and the P9010 movement is a direct fast adjustment calendar, on this difference, but in terms of overall performance, the P9000 movement of the VS factory is also very good, after all, it has been five or six years since it was launched, and there is not much problem with the whole, and the movement is relatively durable and has high precision.
The strap is made of knitted nylon strap with luminescent stitching, which is delicate and comfortable to wear. Fitted with a titanium clasp. This strap buckle is also the first time that Panerai has paired it, and it looks more casual in terms of overall style, and it is more comfortable to wear, after all, the buckle is not made of steel, so there will be no problems such as knocking hands.
Finally, take a look at the real glow-in-the-dark picture of the VS factory Panerai 1118
