VS Factory Panerai pam1118 carbon fiber watch review

Panerai Wristwatch PAM1118 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.

Case and Body Workmanship

There are three models of the Luminor series with a 70-year warranty, which Panerai introduced for the first time: PAM1117 has a DMLS titanium case, PAM1118 is made of Carbotech™ carbon fiber material, and PAM1119 is made of the latest Fibratech™ basalt fiber material. All three have a matte-textured, understated design that perfectly highlights the omnidirectional lume design. Panerai 1119 will also be produced as a mold replica by VS Factory; Its launch will be after Panerai 1118, so let's wait and see together.

This VS Factory Panerai 1118 carbon fiber watch measures 44 millimeters in diameter, so it's a big size. It looks great on women's wrists too, no problem, it has a very assertive appearance. The case is made of Carbotech™ carbon fiber composite material. This material is obtained by stacking thin carbon fiber layers alternately in certain directions, 7 layers per millimeter, and gluing them together under high temperature and pressure. In addition to being lightweight, it has excellent pressure and corrosion resistance and offers a distinctive texture. Much lighter in weight than ordinary stainless steel models; It doesn't look bulky at all when worn.

Movement and Caliber Performance

On the movement side, VS used the P.9010 self-winding movement. It has an oscillation frequency of 4 hertz and a power reserve of 3 days. The case back is engraved with finely sandblasted titanium; It looks really nice. The functions of the mechanism are exactly the same as the original and its stability is quite high.

Dial and Hand Details

The strap is made of black Sportech™ material with lume stitching. The effect is extremely impressive when worn at night.

As I mentioned above, the most striking aspect of this watch is its brand new lume design. In terms of lume material and lifespan, the lume material used is no longer Luminor's tritium-based compound. Tritium is also a radioactive substance and carries similar risks to human health. Additionally, the radiation of radium and tritium is limited in time; It wears out and loses its lume feature within 10 to 20 years. The material widely used in the watch industry today is Super-LumiNova. This material does not self-radiate; A substance that stores light. When exposed to light for a few minutes, it absorbs the light source and continues to glow for hours. Its chemical stability is better and its life is longer.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

In addition to the hour markers and hour and minute hands on the dial, the crown, crown protection bridge, lock lever and even the stitching of the strap are illuminated with lume. This bold innovation has truly taken the dive watch's lume feature to a whole new level.

Summary: This brand new Panerai 1118 carbon fiber watch, released by VS Factory, both enriches its product range and offers another option to those who love carbon fiber watches. This watch maintains the VS factory's extremely high production standards in terms of workmanship; You can buy it with peace of mind and satisfy your curiosity.
