BRABUS x Panerai Part 5
Panerai Submersible S BRABUS
30.06.2023 - Inspired by a shared passion for luxurious design and driven by the cutting-edge of innovation, the Panerai Submersible S BRABUS is the next extraordinary chapter in the collaboration between Panerai and BRABUS.
The skeleton time piece’s 47mm case is made of eTitanio™, a 100% recycled titanium powder derived from pre-consumer scraps titanium alloy, and crafted using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technology. Panerai ranks among the first and remains one of the world’s very few watchmakers to utilize this technique – resulting in a structure that is 30% lighter than a standard titanium case and characterized by a striking appearance that is nearly impossible to achieve via traditional methods. Production will be limited to 177 pieces worldwide – an homage to 1977, the year BRABUS was founded.
At the heart of the Panerai Submersible S BRABUS is one of Laboratorio di Idee’s high-end complications – the Skeleton Caliber. Showcasing a stripped-down movement, the skeletonized structure of the watch is achieved through a sophisticated watchmaking procedure that draws attention to the movement’s key components.
The time piece features a micro-rotor that ensures automatic winding, providing a power reserve of up to 3 days. A GMT function with a second bicolor hour hand and AM/PM indicator is also included, underlining the watch’s functionality and versatility.
Further features of the Panerai Submersible S BRABUS include a security device for a watch control mechanism, a rotating bezel system, a lever with a rotating roller, a polarized date and a zero reset as well as a stop second movement. The watch’s small seconds at 9 o’clock features a second reset for optimal time setting. The patented polarized date allows the numerals to be visible only when passing through the opening without hiding the mechanism. With its skeletonized structure, the Panerai Submersible S BRABUS is water resistant up to 30 bar (~300 meters), making it both functional and stylish. Precise details in red embody aesthetics inspired by the BRABUS design DNA.
