extreme hardness (up to five times greater than steel), its strong resistance to
a wide range of temperatures, and the fact that when worn for long periods the
watch does not become scratched, damaged or corroded.
The finishing of the ceramic components is done by sandblasting, a special
technique by which micro beads are blasted onto the material in order to give
it a matt finish.
In the case construction, Panerai has made use of techniques involving many
complex working operations which ensure an exceptional aesthetic finish and
the best resistance in terms of shock absorption. To optimise the reliability of
the watch over a long period, the winding crown incorporates a special
element with a threaded ring whose function is to control the degree of force
with which the winding crown is locked by the device protecting the winding
crown, which protects it from shocks and accidental damage as well as
helping to ensure the water-resistance of the case.
The moving lever is mounted in the bridge fixed to the case which is engraved
with the letters REG. T.M. (Registered trademark).
The name of the watch "LO SCIENZIATO" is engraved on the case between
the lugs at 6 o'clock.
The crystal is made of sapphire, obtained from corundum, a very hard material
(second in hardness only to diamond), free of impurities, transparent, abrasion
resistant, and with anti-reflective treatment.
The screw-in back has a sapphire crystal window enabling the mechanism and
the haute horlogerie finish to be admired. Engraved on the titanium backcase with
hard black coating are the case number, the sequential number of the watch with
the number produced, the materials and the maximum depth of use.
The water-resistance of your watch, indicated on the back by the symbol
, is guaranteed to a pressure of 10 bar, which corresponds to the
hydrostatic pressure exerted by a column of water on 1 square centimetre at
a depth of 100 metres under normal conditions. In these circumstances your
watch is therefore water-resistant to a depth of about 100 metres.

HE DIAL
The dial is a skeleton dial with Arabic numerals and hour markes.
In order to ensure optimal levels of luminescence and greater resistance over
time, Panerai uses exclusively "Grade A" Swiss Super-LumiNova
this luminous substance, special high-performance pigments are used. This
allows an increase in the duration of the readability of approximately 35%
compared to standard Super-LumiNova
The small seconds and tourbillon indicator are at 9 o'clock, the second time zone
is indicated by the central hand and by the small 24-hour dial at 3 o'clock.
