Panerai Luminor Marina 1312 VS Factory Review

The Panerai Luminor Marina 1312 model is produced by VS Factory with a solid 316L stainless steel case, standard case diameter and Super Clone P.9010 movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

When we look at the history of Panerai, the limited edition Luminor Marina model, which made a splash at the time, was released in 1993. The birth of this series was the first major success in the history of the Panerai brand; Even today, the interest of Luminor Marina watches has never diminished. This brand new PAM01312 is actually a development of the old PAM00312 model.

This watch continues the same tradition, just like all other Panerai models. The case is made of 316L stainless steel, which offers excellent corrosion resistance, and its diameter of 44 millimeters is exactly the same as the original.

Dial and Hand Details

The classic sandwich dial features large numerals and stick hour markers in the positions of the main hour markers; There is a small seconds dial at nine o'clock and a date window at three o'clock, which fully reflects the classic Panerai style. Unlike the Panerai 312, the word “Automatic” has been added to the six o'clock position. Another major difference is that the 1312 is equipped with a striking blue small seconds hand; It is not difficult to guess how many people this touch of blue has won over.

The distinctive crown protection bridge on the side is one of Panerai's iconic pieces. Founded in 1860, the Panerai brand produced highly waterproof military watches for the Italian Navy. In order to provide better water resistance to military watches, Panerai invented the crown protection bridge, which is also a patent of the brand.

Case and Body Workmanship

It has a closed case back design (a point to note here: in the old model, the case back is transparent, in the new model it is closed; you can verify it on the official site). Inside is the structure and processing quality of the P.9010 movement. The external appearance of this mechanism has been carefully processed by VS Factory; The brushing workmanship is fine, even the chamfering process is applied and ruby ​​material is used. Not only is its appearance elegant, but the movement performance is also stable.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Black calfskin strap is preferred with light brown contrast stitched edge trim. The bamboo knot texture of the strap is natural and clear, placed in a balanced pattern; The contrast colored design reflects an elegant atmosphere. A pin buckle is used and the English name of the brand is embroidered on the top of the buckle. In addition, a specially made strap with strong white lume, made from a VS special mold, is also given as a factory gift.
