Panerai Wristwatch PAM00671 model is produced by VS Factory with a 5th class titanium 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.

Panerai bronze watches; With their rarity, classic and tough stance, they quickly started a trend in the world of high-end watchmaking. The classic design of the brand's idea workshop (Laboratorio di Idee) revealed the spirit of mastery that combines advanced technology and superior craftsmanship.

In recent years, bronze watches have become a big trend in men's upper segment watches. For Panerai, the Italian high-end watch brand with a deep-rooted history, this heavy historical background has been a strong basis in the production of retro timers. In 2012, Panerai introduced its first bronze watch, the 382; With its unique serial form specific to the brand and its aged bronze case design reflecting the spirit of the period, it attracted great attention from watch enthusiasts and became an extraordinary work of that period. The second bronze watch of the brand was Panerai PAM507, which was exhibited at the 2013 fair; noted for its enduring appeal and distinctive nautical style.

Four years later, at the 2017 SIHH, Panerai introduced its third bronze watch. For the first time, the new model introduced the navy blue dial, which had a military feel; Complementing this with a character-filled aged bronze, it added a natural freshness to the model and combined it with a retro feeling, creating a distinctive nostalgic depth.

VS Factory is highly experienced in processing bronze material; He gained a lot of knowledge on this subject. The oxidation control in this Panerai 671 bronze is on point; The engraving in the details impressively captures the atmosphere of the original.

Case and Body Workmanship

The unique appeal of the bronze case comes from the fact that it is much more playable than other metal cases. The copper component in bronze reacts with air and creates an oxidizing effect. Thanks to this change, everyone who wears a bronze watch sees a different oxidation effect on their watch depending on the different environments they live in, leaving unique traces.

The most critical challenge of bronze watches is to oxidize the bronze case at the speed we want and in a way that gives a more retro look. VS factory constantly researched this challenge, pursuing superior workmanship. In the end, he achieved the result closest to the oxidation effect of the original Panerai 671.

When you compare it with the small factory versions on the market, you can easily see that the oxidation color in those versions is uneven, even darkening, and black stained rust clusters easily form. Bronze is a material consisting of an alloy of copper and pure tin. It provides the highest level of resistance to corrosion caused by sea water and environmental conditions. Although its soft original color reacts with external factors over time and forms a green rust on the surface and covers the case surface, this green rust does not change the properties of the material; On the contrary, it makes the watch more unique and gives it a simple, nostalgic atmosphere.

Dial and Hand Details

Sea blue dial: In the simple and balanced sea blue dial, the brand's signature stick and dot hour markers, the skeleton hour and minute hands in the center and the small seconds dial at 9 complement each other and display the unique atmosphere of Panerai diving watches. All covered in a cream lume coating; In harmony with the bronze case, it exudes a simple and retro sailor style. There is a date window at position 3 and it makes time information more practical. The hour and minute hands and hour markers are all lume coated; You can easily read the time even in dark environments, it is very useful. At night, the clock emits a faint glow; The lume markings in a dark cream tone strongly convey the spirit of the period and add an extra retro depth to the watch.

The bezel comes polished at the factory; It is homogeneous and has no defects such as cutting the hand, and the damper feel of the rotating diving bezel is also extremely good. The lume point at position 12 is slightly lower than the metal surface as in the original; Font marks must be exactly aligned at 12 o'clock. Correcting the bezel alignment on every model is a critical challenge.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The bridge protection workmanship is equally fine; The size of the letters, the depth of the engraving and the position of the silver rivet are all the same as the original.

The case back and buckle are made of titanium; This material is a very simple job for the Panerai replica, the workmanship is superior.

Movement and Caliber Performance

Self-developed p9010 mechanism; Its appearance is the same as the original, its functions are also the same. I have explained this in every aspect in my previous articles, you can look there if you wish.

Many watch enthusiasts describe the Panerai PAM671 as a watch that combines a military-tinged navy blue dial with retro bronze; Accompanied by the aged bronze full of character, the freshness of the model emerges naturally, combining with the retro feeling and offering a unique nostalgic depth. I completely agree with this view; Only lovers like us can truly feel the charm of bronze watches.
