Sporty: Panerai Submersible QuarantaQuattro eSteel

zelin0802

The Panerai Submersible QuarantaQuattro eSteel, launched in 2022, is a rugged companion for sports and everyday life. It is distinguished by the use of recycled materials and a new dial with a gradient from grey to black. replica watches for sale

Today, everyone is talking about sustainability. And for good reason, as both manufacturers and customers are increasingly committed to this goal. Of course, a watch is a very small product. A strap made of plastic recovered from the ocean and a case made of recycled metal may contribute less to the overall picture than using environmentally friendly fuels or recycled plastic from the construction industry.

But one aspect cannot be ignored: watches are emotional products, and their manufacturers are internationally renowned brands that often attract a large number of fans. When a watch manufacturer prioritizes environmental protection and sustainability, this message can reach a large number of people. Ideally, the brand raises awareness of issues that affect all of us.

For example, Panerai recently started using cases made of recycled metal. The limited edition Submersible Mike Horn Edition PAM00984 launched in 2019 was made of eco-titanium, and the Submersible eLab-ID PAM01225 launched in 2021 continues this practice, with eco-titanium and other recycled materials accounting for 98.6% of the total weight of the watch. In addition to this concept watch, Panerai also launched its first best replica watches made of eSteel in 2021. Although they contain less recycled materials, they are available in more models and in larger quantities.

The Submersible QuarantaQuattro eSteel PAM01288 watch we tested in this test has recycled materials accounting for at least 53% of its weight. Panerai achieved this ratio by recycling stainless steel for the case and recycled PET for the strap. Recycled steel is mixed with traditional stainless steel to make eSteel, and its raw materials come from the watchmaking industry and other industries. Panerai says that using eSteel can significantly reduce CO2 emissions during the production of the watch cases.

At Panerai, efforts to achieve sustainable production methods are combined with other sustainability efforts. For example, since 2012, the brand has been a certified member of the Responsible Jewellery Council, a standardisation organisation for the jewellery and watch industry focused on corporate ethics and responsible supply chains. Panerai also organises plastic collection days and supports the Imibala Trust, which works with South African schoolchildren from poor families, as well as various organisations recommended by Panerai employees.

Each watch fan must decide for himself how important these corporate sustainability approaches are and how much they will influence his purchasing decisions. But what is objectively certain is the style advantage of the watch we tested. Its dial, a new addition to the Submersible collection, features a beautiful colour gradient that transitions from grey at 12 o’clock to black at 6 o’clock. Together with the first polished ceramic bezel, this discount replica watches combines sportiness with elegance.

Another new feature is the 44 mm diameter, which is also the origin of the Italian name of this model. The new size fills the gap between the 42mm and 47mm Submersibles. At 13.3mm thick, the watch not only fits in as a striking sports watch, but also guarantees good proportions and a comfortable wearing experience.

The Caliber P.900 is of moderate size and has a power reserve of 3 days. Panerai introduced this automatic movement in its ultra-thin Luminor Due series in 2019, later used it in the 42mm Submersible and now also in the new 44mm version. With a diameter of only 28.2mm and a thickness of only 4.2mm, the P.900 movement is very slim.

The P.900 movement was designed by Manufacture Horlogère ValFleurier, which, like Panerai, belongs to the luxury group Richemont. Horlogère ValFleurier was founded in 2005 in Val-de-Travers to develop and produce selected movements for various brands under the Richemont Group. The P.900 movement is based on a movement that is also supplied to other members of the group. For example, IWC uses it for the 32110/32111 movements and Baume & Mercier uses it for the Baumatic. Panerai’s version has the same long-lasting 3-day power reserve, but without the stop-seconds function for precise time setting and the elaborate surface decoration. In addition, on the model we tested, the minute hand jumps back by about 2 minutes when the crown is pulled out.

A very simple mechanism is installed to finely adjust the rate. The effective length of the hairspring can be changed by manually moving the position of the hairspring key. Our rate tests thus found mixed results. The electronic Witschi Timegrapher found that our test review replica watches ran too slow, losing 4.5 seconds per day, but the maximum difference between the various positions was a reasonable 8 seconds per day.

The closed caseback is acceptable given the simplicity of the movement behind it. Panerai has engraved SLC on the caseback, siluro a lenta corsa, or “slow torpedo” in English. The Italian Navy developed the SLC in 1935 as a manned torpedo and used it primarily in sabotage missions against enemy ships during World War II.

The solid, fully threaded caseback gives off a rugged impression, as does the patented crown guard, which has a lever that must be opened before the crown can be pulled out to set the time. This hinged component has been around since the late 1940s, long before Panerai’s history as a maker of watches for naval frogmen. This system is no more sealed against the winding pushbutton than a screw-down crown, but it has the advantage that the open lever immediately catches your eye, so you don’t jump into the water with the crown pulled out. There is a rubber ring around the crown to make it easier to pull out and turn the pushbutton. After that, you can push the crown firmly into the case by turning the lever, which on watches made from this environmentally friendly alloy is engraved with the name “eSteel”.

The functional advantages of the special crown guard are undeniable. But more importantly, the rotating lever gives Panerai replica watches for men a distinctive look. Combined with the cushion-shaped case and sandwich-style dial used on many models, the distinctive stem ensures that a Panerai (Luminor) is instantly recognisable even from a distance.

However, the Submersible model does not feature the traditional sandwich-style dial, which is one of Panerai’s three defining characteristics. Instead, it has applied hour markers that, like the hands and hour markers, are filled with a large amount of luminous material. Most of the indicators glow with Panerai’s characteristic Super-Lumi-Nova green, but the minute hand and the dot at 12 o’clock on the bezel glow blue. This luminescence makes it easy to read the time at night or underwater. However, while the time is clearly legible, the bezel remains dark except for the large circular zero point and has only individual minute markings for the first quarter of an hour.

When you wear a Panerai Submersible, you don’t have to give up your luxury watch if daily life gets a little tough. Its ruggedness is ensured by the scratch resistance of its sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel, the pressure resistance of the case up to 30 bar, and the two durable straps. One of the straps is made of recycled PET with a lining and perforated leather reinforcement. If you decide to wear this watch while swimming, you should replace the PET strap with the additional rubber strap that comes with the watch. Each strap can be easily removed using the special tool that comes with the watch by pressing the latch under the strap lug until two very sturdy bars slide out of the metal sleeves sewn into the strap.

This sturdy and easy-to-use system also protects the watch from scratches, which would be a threat if you use the strap-changing tool to open traditional spring bars. The only downside is that Panerai only comes with a large pin buckle, so it must be removed separately and attached to the new strap with a screwdriver, which is also included.

After taking a closer look at our test watch, we can summarize its pros and cons. First, the pros: This watch looks good, runs for up to three days, is comfortable to wear, easy to read, and embodies Panerai’s sustainable development concept, which is in line with today’s spirit. But it deserves criticism because of its relatively plain movement and the less than perfect satin finishing of the case above the strap lugs. replica richard mille rm 027 watches

Introducing the Richard Mille RM 65-01 Yellow and Blue Quartz TPT Automatic Split-second Chronograph

zelin0802

Richard Mille’s most complicated automatic watch gets a material makeover.

Last week, Richard Mille added two new colors to the replica RM 65-01 collection. First launched in 2020, the RM 65-01 consists of 600 parts in total and is the most complicated automatic (non-LE) watch the brand has ever produced. The highly saturated egg-yellow color will be limited to 120 pieces, while the pale blue will be the main color of the collection. Both are made of Quartz TPT or Thin Layer Technology (Quartz TPT was originally developed for the RM 27-02 Nadal), a composite material made of multiple layers of quartz fibers, which is often used in very high-performance applications due to its resistance to high temperatures, high strength, and transparency to electromagnetic waves.

With a focus on motorsports, Richard Mille has long specialized in highly complicated chronographs. These new RM 65-01s are the latest in a series that began with the RM 004, a manual-winding, split-seconds chronograph powered by a Renaud & Papi movement. This high-frequency, automatic split-seconds chronograph uses Caliber RMAC4, a high-frequency movement with variable inertia that beats at 36,000 vibrations per hour (vph)/5 Hz. The RMAC4 in the RM 65-01 was supplied by Vaucher and was originally based on the architecture and layout of Parmigiani’s caliber PF361.

I’m not a big fan of talking about frequency, but taking a few frequency crash courses (refresh your knowledge here) is very helpful in understanding this model. Technically, a chronograph running at 5 Hz is more functional than the more common 4 Hz alternative. The movement running at 5 Hz features a balance that physically oscillates at 36,000 vph; in dial terms, this means being able to measure elapsed time in tenths of a second intervals (after all, that’s the whole purpose of a chronograph – just ask Zenith), while a chronograph running at 4 Hz would measure eighths of a second. copy watch for sale

Equipped with a vertical clutch and a double six-column wheel for a smooth push-button feel (hey, you get what you pay for), this chronograph is capable of measuring up to 12 hours. Total power reserve is 60 hours, while a variable-geometry rotor optimizes winding based on the wearer’s activity. The pusher at eight o’clock is labeled “Quick Winding”, which is very much in the style of Richard Mille, as it enables just that. More for functional purposes (or, as another watch journalist astutely told me, “a solution in search of a problem”), pressing this pusher just 125 times “quickly” charges the mainspring. A function selector on the crown enables the wearer to quickly switch from traditional winding mode (W) to setting a semi-instantaneous date (D) or hour and minute display (H).

Summer is officially here, which means prime Richard Mille fake season for the flamboyant, watch-wearing elite—and for Pharrell Williams, who can’t seem to take off his RM UP 01. Speaking of Pharrell, last year a custom-colored RM 65-01 was auctioned at Joopiter’s “Just Phriends” auction, complete with Pharrell’s signature on the caseback. The sale was curated by Sarah Andelman, former creative director of Parisian concept store Colette. R.I.P. Colette. This all speaks volumes about the beauty of this RM model, considering the overall colorful, modern feel of the other lots in the auction.

Color is one of the things RM does best. While this release appears to be a simple color change to the existing 65-01, it is important to note that the colors and hues must be added to the resin material that eventually becomes Quartz TPT during the first stages of manufacturing. If the color-changing chemicals conflict with any other materials in the quartz composite, the entire material could be affected. This color change is likely the result of a long R&D process, and few other brands would go through such a lengthy process just for a color change.

Is a quick-winding mechanism essential when you can wind your high quality fake watch simply by pulling out the crown? No. But these are adult toys. The more cleverly the buttons on the dial are color-coded to correspond to the functions, the more fun it is. Do these watches look more technical than they really are? Maybe. Am I willing to let myself be blinded by marketing because I like to get a quick glimpse into a very glamorous lifestyle that is not mine? Yes.

Richard Mille RM038

zelin0802

Angus Davies reviews the Richard Mille RM038, a watch built for recent Augusta Masters winner Bubba Watson.

Bubba Watson wins the Augusta Masters.

At 6-foot-3, he’s a colossus in size and hits the ball with prodigious power, leading the PGA Tour in driving distance with an average of 313.1 yards.

Bubba was a refreshing change from the average golfer on the PGA Tour. He is self-taught and has developed his own very personal style.

Many golfers spend years training with coaches, holding the club in a certain way and honing their swing through video analysis, but not Bubba.

Wearing an all-white outfit with pink detailing, he used a pink driver to support the charity. On his website, Bubba states that “helping these charities, and more importantly, the families involved, means more than winning a golf tournament”. I suspect this is a mantra embraced by many sports coaches.

Bubba is approachable and recounts his humble origins and growing up in Baghdad, Florida. He opened up about his emotions, tearing up and hugging his mother affectionately as he celebrated his victory at the Masters.

During his playoff with Louis Osterhuizen during the Masters, his ball landed in the woods. The bushes should have thwarted his ambitions, thwarted his ambitions. However, Bubba said that after hitting the ball with such ferocity, golf wisdom would suggest imminent failure, “It’s just a crazy shot I see in my head.” The ball landed on the green. This is not one to follow the rules. copy watches for sale

So it’s no surprise that he wears an unconventional watch, the Richard Mille RM 038.

dial
The dial is unlike any other brand of watch. The design language of Richard Mille watches is inspired by Formula 1. Skeletonized hour and minute hands are one of the few details faithful to orthodox horology.

The bridge is shaped like an anti-roll bar and spans the dial. They are not made of untreated silver and do not have the Côtes de Genève pattern in line with other high-end timepieces on the market. Richard Mille never went with the flow.

The bridges, bridges and balance cock are all made of grade 5 titanium and are clearly visible through the sapphire crystal mounted on the front and back of the case. This isn’t horological porn designed just to tease, and it has its merits in the choice of materials used. Grade 5 titanium is lightweight, ensuring it won’t weigh down on the wearer. Bubba Watson, Felipe Massa and Rafael Nadal have all highlighted this key advantage, all of whom choose to wear Richard Mille watches while practicing their chosen sports.

The wearer can appreciate the spectacle of horological craftsmanship, as the tourbillon cage rotates to resist the effects of gravity. But unlike some tourbillons that require care to ensure their longevity, Richard Mille has given its models a solid structure that makes them extremely wear-resistant.

case
Richard Mille never seeks expediency when designing watches, and the case design perfectly reflects this. The three-plan case is made up of three key elements; top, sides, and bottom. The sides of the case are perfectly contoured, with the top and bottom perfectly aligned to keep out dust or moisture that could damage the precious work inside.

Two Nitrile O-rings mounted on the sides and front and back of the case further reduce the risk of compromising water resistance. fake watches for sale

The case is the culmination of countless machine processes, resulting in the striking silhouette synonymous with this captivating brand. Twelve grade 5 titanium spline screws and 316L stainless steel wear washers snap together like clamshells to protect the internal structure from potential damage.

The most striking thing about the case is the color, a lighter shade of whiter. Made of extremely strong WE54 magnesium, an electric plasma oxidation treatment called Miarox® provides the unique shade. It is this treatment, commonly used in the aerospace, automotive and medical sectors, that gives the case its scratch and corrosion resistance.

sports
Tourbillons are one of the most complex complications, often heavier and more delicate than normal. However, this is no ordinary sport. It’s strong and light.

The lightweight of the rotating barrel increases its speed and its accuracy by default.

The choice of movement material is eclectic, not seeking change, but approaching the watch from different perspectives. The results are amazing.

The beauty of the RM038 Tourbillon movement is the ability to see through the sapphire crystal the hard work of the gears and cogs. The movement is delivered in a unique form and made of high-tech materials.

Richard Mille doesn’t skimp on the details for its clients. This is a great example of polished pivots, polished sinks and beveled polished steel components.

Richard Mille did not follow accepted norms, copied other masters, and did not follow the herd. The RM 038 is a refreshing change from the approach taken by many watchmakers, who some feel seem to offer homogeneous watches that lack originality.

Richard Mille chose a unique course for the RM 038, a bit like the way Bubba Watson plays golf.

Bubba succeeded in the green belt of Augusta, while Richard Mille mastered the green valley of Swiss watchmaking with the innovative RM 038. buy watches online

Hublot Introduces Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Repeater Ceramic

zelin0802

ceramic acoustics.

After launching a series of candy-coloured ceramic integrated bracelet watches at Watches & Wonders 2022, Hublot has launched a ceramic “high complication”, the Big Bang Integral Cathedral minute repeater ceramic watch.

While complex end-to-end ceramic watches already exist, striking watches in ceramic are rare, with only Hublot and Audemars Piguet making such watches. The Big Bang Integral is a novelty combining a tourbillon and a minute repeater, in fact, one of them has a longer than usual cathedral gong.

It manages to be water resistant in contrast to most attention-grabbing watches that are merely resistant to moisture, due to the challenge of sealing the slider while allowing for maximum sound transmission.

The latest Big Bang Integral perfectly sums up Hublot as a brand, showcasing its strengths (and some weaknesses). Powered by a complex in-house movement, paired with a case and bracelet, it showcases the brand’s mastery of unusual materials – all thanks to the brand’s extensive and flexible manufacturing.

In typical Hublot fashion, the watch is loud visually rather than audibly — even in black. It looks like a Hublot, and the brand essentially has one aesthetic. It has a technically modern aesthetic that complements the open dial, a feature uncommon in minute repeaters but useful because it reveals the chiming mechanism in its entirety.

Good value for money for such a watch. At the same time, it has a higher finish on the ceramic case and bracelet than older Hublot models, which makes it even more attractive.

Ceramics and One
The Tourbillon Repeater is the flagship model of the Big Bang Integral collection, the brand’s first integrated bracelet watch, but only two years ago. Although recently introduced, the watch still feels familiar thanks to the well-designed bracelet integrated into the case.

While open dials are common for Hublot Review best watches, this is relatively rare for classic haute horlogerie complications such as the minute repeater. Here, it can reveal the striking mechanism usually hidden under the dial, giving you a glimpse of the rack and snail mechanism responsible for promoting the minute repeater to strike the time.

And the minute repeater utilizes a cathedral gong that wraps twice around the circumference of the movement, rather than once like a traditional minute repeater. The extended length makes a louder chime.

It is worth noting that the movement structure also incorporates thoughtful details. The tourbillon is not hindered by any gears like a tourbillon movement. Instead, the center wheel sits just on the edge of the tourbillon cage. This shows the attention paid to the aesthetics of the tourbillon, although it is tempered by the relatively simple frame.

It can be observed that the decoration of the movement is a mixture of machined and hand-finished.

For example, most of the bridges feature wide, flat bevels with faint machining marks indicating that the angles were done on a CNC machine. At the same time, more critical parts such as the hammers and bridges of the governor are decorated with circular polished chamfers that can only be done by hand.

On the front, however, the visible steel components are neatly finished with ruled surfaces and hand-chamfered edges. perfect cheap watch

Breitling new Endurance Pro watch

zelin0802

Breitling luxury has just launched a new watch designed for everyday athletes. Launch of the new Breitling Endurance Pro. As part of the brand’s professional series, this sports watch is a lightweight way for athletes and sports enthusiasts to enjoy Breitling’s excellent timing functions anytime, anywhere.

The Breitlight case size of Endurance Pro is 44mm. Breitlight is a proprietary material of Breitling, which is 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than stainless steel. Moreover, it is durable and very resistant to scratches, traction and corrosion. Inside this case is the Breitling Calibre 82 with SuperQuarts technology, which is ten times more accurate than typical quartz. On the dial, you can find Breitling’s 1/10-second and 30-minute chronographs that are easy to read even on the go.

Breitling launched Endurance Pro in five different colors, each with a black dial and a black bidirectional rotating bezel. Colors include white, blue, yellow, orange and red. Each comes with a matching Diver Pro strap.

Breitling Endurance Pro cheap revives the fashion of the 1970s

Breitling’s new Endurance Pro is half a professional tool watch and half a fashionable fashion watch, designed to target a young audience with a high level of technology. This watch belongs to the brand’s entry-level category and confirms Breitling’s positioning as the preferred manufacturer of affordable but professional sports watches. The price is correct ($3,000), and the color makes it beyond the category of purely technical tool watches and enters the field of fashion watches.

Breitling ambassador and triathlete Daniela Ryf said: “This is a good color, so you won’t lose it in your swimming bag.” She wore a bright orange version. Other colors include red, yellow, blue and white, and the strap matches the color of the details on the black dial.

Endurance Pro was inspired by a model called Sprint in the 1970s, which has a pulsimeter so athletes can measure their heart rate. Endurance Pro also has a pulse meter scale, as well as compass and timer functions.

Like Sprint, the shell of Endurance is made of resin. In this case, this is a modern proprietary material called Breitlight launched by Breitling in 2016. The weight of this resin is 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than steel. Make it an ideal sports watch. It is also thermally stable and completely scratch-resistant. Triathlete and Breitling Ambassador Jan Frodeno (Jan Frodeno) said: “I almost forgot to wear it.” He also participated in the triathlete Chris McCormack (Chris McCormack) speech. gents watches

The movement is a quartz movement, typically in the 70s, but it is a modern movement launched in 2014 called SuperQuartz. Breitling said that the precision of this movement is 10 times that of a traditional quartz movement. It has passed COSC certification, which means it has guaranteed accuracy. The watch is equipped with a colored strap made of rubber or Econyl, which is made of recycled materials. The waterproof depth is up to 100 meters.

In addition to the launch, Breitling also sponsored the Endurance Pro Strava Challenge. Strava is the leading application for runners and cyclists, which allows athletes to track and analyze their activities. Participants in the Strava Challenge that goes live today will compete for prizes, including Breitling Colnago C64 bikes, Breitling Endurance Pro watches and Breitling jersey sets.

In order to win prizes, contestants must complete 500 minutes in their chosen activity (including swimming, running, biking or hiking) (about a world-class triathlete to complete a complete “Triathlon” competition time). Participants of the Breitling Endurance Pro Strava Challenge will have two weeks to complete the 500-minute race. Winners will be randomly selected from competitors who have completed the Strava Challenge.
