Lume watches don't mean anything special to most people; Lume is seen as an indispensable part of a watch. Diving watches such as the Rolex Submariner, Omega Seamaster and Blancpain Fifty Fathoms all feature an excellent lume function. However, the history of lume-enabled watches is only about a hundred years old; Today's safe and clear lume-enabled watches have been achieved as a result of repeated research and experiments by people. The birth of Lume-enabled watches was due to the impact of military operations. Because early military devices and military watches did not have a lume material that could give off light, it was very difficult to read the time in dark environments; However, illuminating it with strong light sources such as flashlights was also extremely dangerous as it gave away the location. It was under these conditions that lume paint and lume-enabled watches emerged.

VS Factory Panerai 1117 Workmanship Review

VS factory purchased many original Panerai this year for development and replica production. This model, which is 44 mm in size, is at a size that both men and women can easily wear, like Panerai 1118 and 1119; As a matter of fact, watches with large dials are very fashionable nowadays. The entire watch was designed with the goal of lightness; The case, crown, protection bridge and handle are made of titanium material. The advantages of titanium are lightness, pressure resistance and corrosion resistance; It also adds a unique texture and aesthetic feeling to the watch, providing a more comfortable use when worn. Moreover, since titanium is extremely compatible with the skin, it also reduces the possibility of metal allergy in the parts that come into contact with the wrist.

The watch glass is made using slightly curved sapphire glass and treated with a double-layer anti-reflective coating process. The glass, which has a clean and smooth appearance, allows the time to be read clearly from any angle and has good resistance to scratches. A blue sunburst pattern is used on the dial; The overall layout is also extremely balanced. In the positions of the numbers 12 and 6, there is the Panerai brand logo and the series to which the watch belongs; The date window is placed at the number 3 position, and the small seconds dial is placed at the number 9 position. These two balance each other, creating a visual integrity that is both flashy and elegant. Sword-type hour and minute hands are placed in the center; All hour markers and hour and minute hands are filled with green Super-LumiNova lume material. The fillings are smooth and full, there is no overflow.

The titanium case on the side feels very nice to the touch; In addition, sandblasting was applied to the case surface, giving the watch an overall more qualified appearance. The ears are cut with sharp and distinct lines, generally slightly curved, and the chamfered sections are processed in an extremely aesthetic way. The classic curved protection bridge design, patented by Panerai in 1956, is maintained on the crown. This design is both distinctive and original, and also protects the winding crown at all times. This design is not only the symbol of Panerai watches; At the same time, it provides a good seal by fixing the crown head, preventing water from entering the mechanism and thus ensuring superior waterproof performance.

The case back is a closed case back made of electroplated titanium alloy. In this way, not only does it not look like a fake at first glance, as is the case with transparent case backs, but also the operation of the movement is better protected and the waterproof performance is greatly increased. The inscriptions engraved on the case back can be read clearly; The logo on the back is also smooth and finely processed. This shows how carefully VS works! PAM1117 is equipped with VS's self-developed P.9010 integrated movement. This P9010 movement is modified based on the integrated P9001; exactly the same as the original in structure, appearance and function. The balance position has been corrected and the problem of the hour hand not being able to jump fast has been resolved; Its stability and durability are also extremely good.

The strap is made of nylon material with mesh fiber; It has a woven texture on its surface and is waterproof. The blue strap integrates with lume marked stitching; Using nylon velcro fasteners is both simple, practical and extremely reassuring.

Summary: This VS Factory Panerai 1117 Super Lume watch is a flashy and energetic mod.
