Hands-On: Panerai Submersible Elux LAB-ID PAM01800 Watch With Electric Illumination


I take again my phrases that the fashionable luxurious watch trade doesn’t make idea merchandise anymore. Idea merchandise are functionally and technically attention-grabbing objects that discover new concepts however aren’t precisely meant for mainstream attraction. Whereas Panerai is making 150 examples of the reference PAM01800 Submersible Elux LAB-ID timepiece, this very a lot is a purposeful idea watch. It really works alright, and it positive is enjoyable, however this unusual and really massive timepiece feels extra like a real-world film prop than a device — which, on this $100,000-plus type — somebody may use in any sort of harmful real-world state of affairs. That’s a part of why a timepiece like that is a lot enjoyable to jot down about: as a result of “they” made it, even whether it is arduous to think about what its pool of consumers appears like.

Fortunately, we covered the Panerai Submersible Elux LAB-ID watch in detail, else it will be very tough to glean from Panerai’s web site what the timepiece is all about. A product like this requires an unlimited rationalization and there may be solely a skeletal product web page on Panerai devoted to the PAM01800. In our information article, you possibly can be taught extra about what “Elux” meant to Panerai traditionally, and a bit extra of the technical particulars on how this product accommodates each a mechanical automated motion and a micro-generator designed to create sufficient battery cost to energy the backlight for as much as half-hour when totally charged.


Panerai isn’t the primary firm to mix an digital backlight system with a base mechanical motion, neither is it the primary to cost some huge cash to take action. Our information article concerning the Panerai Submersible Elux LAB-ID hyperlinks to our hands-on articles with a number of watches from Louis Vuitton and HYT which carry out comparable options and use an on-demand digital system to create a backlight to learn the time. Panerai does so in a very slick method the place hidden LED lights trigger the hour markers and palms to glow. It even managed to incorporate a light-weight on the 60-minute marker on the uni-directionally rotating diver’s model bezel. The impact works fairly properly general, even when Panerai doesn’t appear to have created an answer to any critical utility or engineering challenges. I say this as a result of if you happen to want such a tool in your wrist (i.e. an analog watch with backlighting) in the actual world, you’ve loads of cheaper choices from firms like Casio and Timex. Even if you happen to want a deep-diving watch with an analog backlight, you’ve choices. I suppose, if you happen to actually need to break up hairs, you’ll give Panerai credit score for creating the primary conventional mechanical diver’s watch with such a backlight system, however I’m unsure there are lots of functions the place a watch like that is the one answer to a diver’s visibility downside.

The Elux “Energy Gentle” system works reasonably merely. Contained in the watch, the motion has six mainspring barrels, 4 of that are devoted to energy technology for the electrical backlight. As soon as totally wound, this method will provide as much as half-hour of steady backlighting. There may be even a backlight energy reserve indicator for the battery cost over the 6 o’clock hour indicator. Presumably, to extend the cost you simply have to wind the crown in a specific path. On the left of the case is a security latch over the button that turns the Elux Energy Gentle on or off. Most wristwatch backlights solely stay on for a couple of seconds, so the truth that this gentle can keep on so long as you want (or till the ability wears out) makes it considerably distinctive. I need to admit it’s enjoyable to have the backlight on on a regular basis because it helps deliver visible consideration to the dial, and who doesn’t like glowing palms and markers?

The motion contained in the Submersible Elux LAB-ID is the in-house Panerai P.9010/EL. The bottom motion is a Panerai staple, operates at 4Hz with 72 hours of energy reserve, and has automated winding. Being a Submersible model watch, the dial is comparatively clear, providing solely the time with subsidiary seconds at 9 o’clock. The thickness of the dial in addition to that of the general case may be attributed to the necessity for all the additional elements such because the digital system, and the power to feed gentle/energy to numerous areas. However, the watch continues to be very massive and is 49mm large. I didn’t have an opportunity to measure the thickness, however you possibly can see within the photos that it’s in all probability near 20mm. The watch isn’t designed to be any bigger than is critical, however given what Panerai was making an attempt to engineer into the case, dial, and bezel, the general package deal merely wanted to be this huge. That makes it appear to be a novelty watch when worn until you’ve very massive wrists (or are carrying a really cumbersome wetsuit).

The Panerai Submersible Elux LAB-ID’s case tries to be as gentle as doable being made out of principally titanium and being water-proof to 500 meters. Little bare titanium may be seen save for the bezel. As a substitute, a lot of the case has been coated with a bluish ceramic materials. Panerai calls this “Ti-Ceramitech” and it appears just like a Cerakote coating, however considerably totally different. Panerai claims that the Ti-Ceramitech may be very scratch-resistant. That could be so, however plenty of issues scratch off on it. The granular floor texture of the Ti-Ceramitech is just like sandpaper – which signifies that issues rub off on it fairly simply. So even when the case itself isn’t scratching, it does seem to want cleansing regularly. I perceive that Panerai needed to make this watch light-weight, sturdy, and likewise a bit totally different as there are lots of different massive titanium watches in the marketplace. Choosing this grayish-blue therapy coloration permits the Submersible ELUX LAB-ID to really feel distinctive, they usually haven’t even restricted it to only this watch. You may get the identical Ti-Ceramitech case materials on a few of Panerai’s Submersible Quaranta Quattro (44) Luna Rossa watches (for appreciably much less cash too although they’re nonetheless high-end diver’s model watches).

As a enjoyable novelty product, the PAM01800 may be very cool and is straightforward to know and luxuriate in by novices – as a result of who doesn’t perceive a light-weight? As an engineering problem, you possibly can see that Panerai’s designs want to beat actual points that made it arduous for the watch to be sufficiently small, water-proof sufficient, and fairly sufficient. They have been in a position to efficiently insert a brand new system into an current watch household – leading to a concept-style watch that’s each acquainted in addition to totally different. It isn’t nonetheless sensible or groundbreaking, and the very excessive worth level will restrict possession of a Panerai watch like this to the only a few. It might be cheaper to buy a roughly $10,000 – $15,000 Panerai Submersible and carry a UV torch in your pocket to cost up the Tremendous-LumiNova at your whim. The truth is, the Submersible Elux LAB-ID watch dial has Tremendous-LumiNova on the dial, which the backlight calmly expenses and stays glowing when the Elux Energy Gentle system is turned off.

Hooked up to the PAM01800 is an identical blue-gray rubber strap that enables the watch to be worn comparatively comfortably. The sheer measurement and worth audacity of the Submersible Elux LAB-ID make you smile to see it, however maybe not essentially lust for proudly owning it as a tasteful timepiece possibility. For very well-funded “huge youngsters,” this real-life idea watch goes to be a deal with to put on and showcase to their timepiece buddies. Since our information article about this PAM01800 watch earlier in 2024, the value has truly went up. The present worth for the restricted version of 150 items Panerai Submersible Elux LAB-ID watch is $100,500 USDFor extra data, please go to the Panerai website
