Panerai's High-Tech Cases: Carbotech, Fibratech, BMG-TECH | MR PORTER

PANERAI made its name strapping chunky luminous dive watches to Italian Navy frogmen. Eight decades later, the brand is leading a quieter revolution — one of the most aggressive materials programmes in modern watchmaking. In this About Time instalment, we look at Carbotech, Fibratech and BMG-TECH — the futuristic case materials PANERAI has developed to push the Radiomir and Luminor into the 21st century. Lighter than titanium, tougher than steel, and — on the wrist — noticeably different.
