How close is the workmanship and originality of VS Factory Panerai 1176?

The VS Factory Panerai 1176 watch measures 44 mm; Fully ceramic case, resistant to scratches, color does not fade and does not wear out. The fascinating blue rubber crown pleases both you and those around you with its unique visual effect. Here is that iconic sandwich dial. Regarding the case and movement workmanship, you can take a look at the VS Factory Panerai 441V2 review on our website.

Compared to the 441, the tip of the GMT hand and the small seconds hand at 9 o'clock are also turned blue in this model. In addition, this watch has another hidden beauty: the Super-LumiNova lume coating appears white in bright conditions and creates a high contrast with the black brushed dial surface, making reading the watch very comfortable and enjoyable. However, when you switch to darkness, the user notices with pleasure that the lume effect is actually blue. Moreover, the normally orange date numerals in the date window at 3 o'clock also glow blue in the dark; so the "Bucherer Blue" theme is really worked through.

I think the most impressive part of the watch at first glance is the crown. This time, Panerai covered the crown with blue rubber; The blue rubber stands out especially among the black ceramic surfaces such as the case and crown protection bridge. This is a design that we have not seen in ordinary Panerai watches on the market. In addition to being visually unique, the rubber-coated winding crown also provides indirect convenience to the user when setting or winding the watch, thanks to the anti-slip grip it provides.

The closed case back of PAM01176 is also completely black. However, considering that some users' skin may be more sensitive, the case back material was chosen as skin-friendly black coated titanium, not ceramic; You can wear it with peace of mind.

The case back is also different from an ordinary Luminor GMT; because the word "BUCHERER BLUE" is engraved on it, which simply refers to the special collection value of the watch, limited to 288 pieces.

The movement is based on the VS Factory P.9000 movement, converted to the P.9010 movement; It offers two different time zone functions, stable and reliable.

Paired with a waterproof material strap with blue stitching; It looks extremely cool.

Summary: VS Factory ceramic case craftsmanship is now quite mature. Watch lovers who read the 441 review will know; The overall closeness of the 441 to the original was already very good. This closed case back version offers even higher intimacy compared to the transparent case back model of the 441. Those who love this rare special version can buy it with peace of mind. I hope my articles are useful to you. I will share more detailed parts disassembly, real shot review and real-replica comparison in the coming days.
