Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey. In this new product review, I’m introducing the Panerai Submersible Series PAM1287 from the former VS Factory (now renamed SBF Factory). This is the green dial version of the 2022 Submersible eSteel™ collection. The gradient dark green color is deeper, which I wonder if it echoes the series’ deep water resistance or is due to the green ceramic polished bezel—either way, this green dial version is incredibly appealing and hard to resist. Moreover, dive watches with green ceramic bezels are inherently premium in the watchmaking world, and this model’s performance will surely not disappoint watch enthusiasts.
The dimensions are the same as the original, with a diameter of 44 mm and a thickness of 15 mm.
The overall appearance, this PAM1287 is also the first time that Panerai officially uses polished ceramic circles, and also adopts a more popular color scheme in the color matching, dark green, plus a gradient green dial, the dial is about to come out under the glossy bezel, using polishing and gradient color treatment, the color from top to bottom from light to deep, presenting a stunning layered beauty.
The disc surface of the circle mouth is all made of ceramic, high polish, and the disc surface is gradually green, interpreting the layering of time. The circular scales are shiny because each one has been polished and filled with a Swiss luminescent layer, a two-tone luminescent color that shines brightly.
The glass is still made of sapphire glass, and there is a fisheye effect, which is also a major feature of the stealth series, if you can’t see the fisheye effect when you buy it, then you have to consider whether it is Panerai of the SBF factory.
The case is made of 316L stainless steel, and the whole is mainly polished by wire drawing process, which looks like the texture is in place, and the tooth gap on the ring mouth is also relatively good, and it will not cut your hands.
The bridge on the right side also has eSteel lettering, and the handle head is also wrapped in hard rubber, and the function is the same as before, with the first speed hour hand driving the calendar forward or backward, and the second speed adjusting the time.
Dense bottom design, the back cover is polished with sunray pattern, very delicate, there is also a brand message lettering on it, which is also relatively clear, and the middle is a three-dimensional relief of a slow-speed torpedo. In terms of movement, the SBF factory 1287 gradient green adopts P900 movement, this movement is also the highlight of the original VS factory, after all, the development of VS factory is inseparable from the opening of the movement, the movement has achieved the VS factory, of course, the movement of the VS factory makes the watch very strong in terms of stability, which also allows the watch to have a very comfortable experience in the later stage, and at the same time, it is also very attractive for the polishing of the movement!
The new strap has a nylon fabric and a leather bottom, neat stitching, and the corresponding pattern letters are embossed, basically maintaining a one-to-one design in all directions.
Here you have to pay attention to the fact that for the new strap, it will be a little hard in the early stage, and it will be very comfortable in the later stage, and at the same time, it is also very convenient to wear with a pin buckle!
Summary: The SBF Factory Panerai 1287 offers a high level of overall authenticity, avoiding the awkward issue of being obviously fake at first glance. This Panerai 1287 stands out from other Panerai models due to its design philosophy based on eSteel™. To highlight this material, the crown guard and dial both feature the engraved “eSteel™” logo. Restoring these details poses no difficulty for SBF Factory at all! Beneath its meticulously crafted exterior, the movement inside is equally exceptional. It is equipped with the VS Factory P900 movement, which can replicate the operational methods and functions of the authentic version—a feat no other manufacturer has yet achieved in the market. This is a source of pride for SBF Factory. Additionally, the VS P900 movement boasts remarkable stability.
