The watch’s aesthetic is based on the silver sun-brushed dial, which is reminiscent of the boat’s sleek, reflective hull. This eye-catching colour scheme is complemented by grey and red tones, which mirror the Luna Rossa team’s uniforms to create a cohesive visual narrative that connects the watch to the sailing team’s identity.
One of the most striking technical features of the PAM01681 is the ‘azurage’ technique applied to the small seconds sub-dial. This intricate pattern is created using a specialized tool that carves concentric circles into the dial, resulting in an illusion of moving waves that adds depth and texture to the surface of the dial.
With a rubberized black crown that prioritizes functionality and durability, the material provides a superior grip, even in wet conditions, making it easier for the wearer to adjust the watch’s settings while on the water.
Water resistant up to 30 BAR (~300 meters), the timepiece has been rigorously tested, subjecting it to a pressure up to 25% greater than the guaranteed water resistance value. Innovation at Panerai extends to the user experience with an intuitive interchangeability system that allows the wearer to effortlessly switch between straps with a special device that accompanies the timepiece, ensuring versatility and style.
