That production time is well arranged t judging by the results-and by the buzz this 41mm replica watch generated during last week’s show. The watch’s $85,000 price tag will not keep away from many passionate royal Oak buyers.
And finally, the watchmakers at Le Brassus have also expanded the case options for the royal Oak Tour billion Extra-Thin (which in yellow gold was a love of mine in 2016). The options now include two new limited-edition versions: one in brushed pink gold with matching bracelet, the other in stainless steel. Just like their platinum and yellow gold predecessors, each model features the in-house caliber 2924 hand-wound skeleton movement.
At the same time, Panerai also inspired sports watch addictions with it own brand of case material experimentation. Clearly, this Italy-Swiss brand is serious about becoming a leader in developing new materials for sports watches, and at SIHH 2017 Panerai jumped ahead of most of its peers with two particularly cutting-edge models.
Last week, we discussed a lot about the five new Panerai Luminor Submersible models replica watches. Do you still remember there is one of the model called Luminor Submersible 1950 BMG-Tech 3 Days Automatic – 47mm, is imitated from a special material which is not available in the previous watch industry.
One which is called BMG (Bulk Metallic Glass), the case material is a special glass-like alloy that also includes zirconium, copper, aluminum, titanium and nickel.Together with the cleanly designed rich blue dial, the new case and its great corrosion-resistant alloy is as impressive on the wrist as it is on paper. Price: $10,200.
The second high-tech Panerai entry to 2017 is the Panerai LAB-ID Luminor 1950 Carbotech 3 Days LAB-ID, a bold 49mm model with a carbon-layer/polymer case that’s fit with a movement ensure to work without lubrication for fifty years.
The LAB-ID’s case is made of a composite carbon-fiber-based material (which you may recall from last year’s Carbotech model) and its dial is full of carbon Nanotubes. Inside, its P.3001-C manual-wind movement is made from carbon composites and operates without any lubrication.
The LAB-ID’s movement’s plates, bridges, barrels, escapement and anti-shock device use self-lubricating and dry lubricating materials. Many of the movement’s surfaces are printed with Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) while bridges and plates are made of a absolutely new material: a low friction composite that integrates a Tantalum-based ceramic.
The watch, a tour de force of high-tech micro engineering, is priced at 50,000 euros, or about $53,000, will be made in a limited edition of fifty.
Panerai also stated that it would expand its existed popular role in the world of yacht racing to become an official partner of the 35th America’s Cup. Panerai has partnered with Oracle Team USA (the current holder of the Cup) and Soft-bank Team Japan. Gradually, cheap replica Panerai will provide a plenty of limited-edition America’s Cup watches, consisting of the Panerai Luminor 1950 regatta Oracle Team USA 3 Days Chrono-fly back Automatic Titanio – 47mm, Panerai ‘s second model with a regatta countdown function.
