After the success of last years Black Ops Edition, Panerai and Brabus are teaming up again for a second limited-edition dive watch. The Panerai Submersible S Brabus Blue Shadow Edition draws inspiration from the Brabus 900 Deep Blue day-boat. The 47mm titanium case was shaped using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), a 3D printing method that produces a form that is both lightweight and strong. Both the unidirectional rotating bezel and lever are made from corrosion resistant Carbotech, a carbon based material with a variegated pattern that gives each watch a unique character. Designed to showcase Panerai’s new skeletonized P.4001/S caliber, the open-worked dial features blue Super-LumiNova filled hands and indices. The caliber’s one-piece off-centered oscillating weight allows for bidirectional winding – where the two spring barrels can be wound while the watch is worn. The product of three years of development, the P.4001/S caliber also includes a GMT function, an AM/PM indicator and three-day power reserve. In addition, the patented polarized date display offers a view of the date indication through the opening at 3 o’clock. The watch is water-resistant to 300 meters and limited to 200 pieces.
