Panerai Submersible Elux LAB-ID PAM01800 Concept Watch



Officine Panerai presents the new LAB-ID concept watch, the Submersible Elux LAB-ID PAM01800.

LAB-ID (“Laboratorio di Idee”, Italian for “Laboratory of Creativity”) embodies Panerai’s technical expertise and represents the brand’s commitment to constantly seeking innovative solutions to improve the standards and performance of its creations, starting with the LAB-ID Luminor 1950 Carbotech PAM700, first launched in 2017.

Limited to 150 pieces, 50 pieces per year for three years, the Submersible Elux LAB-ID is a fully mechanical watch with 6 barrels and 4 patented systems that convert the mechanical energy stored in the barrels into light energy, illuminating the dial, hands and bezel.

Elux, short for "elettroluminescenza" (electroluminescence), is a technology patented by Panerai on June 15, 1966. Initially, Elux was used in electroluminescent panels designed to enhance the luminescence of instruments on Italian Navy ships.

Its Power Light function can be activated on demand for a total of 30 minutes by opening the patented push-button protection system and pressing the pusher at 8 o'clock.

This illuminates the 12 hour markers on the dial, the patented hands and the dots on the unidirectional rotating bezel. The linear power reserve indicator at 6 o'clock shows the remaining energy of the light.
