Materials
Panerai commitment to innovation and technical expertise set the stage to innovative and high-tech materials,
enhanced every year through the research and development of the Laboratorio di Idee within the Manufacture in Neuchâtel.
Ceramica
Panerai’s Ceramic is a high-tech material derived from Zirconium Oxide powder, renowned for its strength and stability. Shaped through a complex process of working and finishing operations, it achieves a matte surface highly resistant to scratches, corrosion and heat.
25% lighter and 9 times harder than steel, it embodies Panerai’s pursuit of enduring performance and refined design.
