Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. Today, we will introduce the newly launched VS Factory Panerai PAM01412 SEALs Special Edition. This model is a version released by Panerai for the North American market. In terms of appearance, this watch has distinctive features, adopting a “shipwreck-aged” craftsmanship, while actually being a brand-new timepiece. The watch has a diameter of 44mm and is equipped with the familiar perpetual integrated movement.
The VS Factory Panerai PAM01412 SEALs Special Edition watch has a diameter of 44mm. The case is made of stainless steel, treated with PVD coating and hand-polished to present a unique battle-aged appearance. Each case is unique, with no two being exactly the same, which enhances the watch’s vintage style. Of course, this design also gives the watch a charming characteristic. Additionally, the watch weighs approximately 143 grams.
In terms of the crystal, the VS Factory Panerai PAM01412 SEALs Special Edition watch uses the same sapphire crystal as the genuine model, which is a common feature shared with other Panerai timepieces. The crystal offers exceptional transparency. The dial design is equally remarkable, featuring a textured black-gray gradient sandwich dial that reveals the light green luminous material beneath, adding a touch of mystery to the watch. The matte black lacquered hands form a striking contrast with the dial’s colors, making time reading clearer.
The overall lines on the side of the VS Factory Panerai PAM01412 SEALs Special Edition watch are very comfortable. Meanwhile, the entire watch has undergone brushed detailing, giving it a great hand feel. On the right side is the classic bridge: the green rubber crown is protected by the iconic crown guard, which is not only practical but also enhances the watch’s recognizability. Of course, the bridge itself also reinforces the watch’s unique identity.
The VS Factory Panerai PAM01412 watch features a solid closed case back design, with a relief engraving of the Naval SEALs emblem. Additionally, quick-release strap buttons are integrated at the lugs, making it highly convenient to replace the included canvas strap provided by VS Factory. In terms of movement, the VS Factory 1412 is equipped with the in-house VS Factory P9010 automatic movement, which offers precise timekeeping, durability, and a power reserve of 3 days.
In terms of the strap for the VS Factory Panerai PAM01412 SEALs Special Edition watch, VS Factory has equipped this timepiece with a rubber strap and includes an additional “dual-material” strap as a bonus, catering to wearing needs in different scenarios. The material and craftsmanship of the straps, as well as the design of the buckle, all reflect Panerai’s meticulous pursuit of detail.
Overall, the VS Factory Panerai PAM01412 SEALs Special Edition watch is meticulously crafted in its entirety, including its mature case aging process. Previously, XF Factory released an aged version of the Zenith Vintage Flyback, and the case I have been wearing since 2017 remains intact without any fading issues. Since VS Factory and XF Factory belong to the same group, their craftsmanship is interchangeable. Additionally, its movement is highly mature and stable. Watch enthusiasts who are interested may wish to contact Bokey Watch Industry for more information and to purchase!
