SBF’s new Panerai PAM1287 (PAM1288 and others are sibling models) features the same polished bezel that gives off an emerald‑like luster. It is paired with a polished gradient emerald‑green dial. The 44 mm case is sized for Asian wrists.
What makes Panerai’s new diver’s watch special is its innovative use of eSteel™ material. It matches stainless steel in physical structure and corrosion resistance. More importantly, it demonstrates Panerai’s commitment to sustainability. Each Submersible QuarantaQuattro eSteel™ watch, the steel‑cased model marketed around environmental themes, contains 72 grams of recycled material, accounting for more than half of its total weight.
The eSteel logo is printed at the 6‑o’clock position on the dial and on the crown protector. Needless to say, replicas do not adopt this eco‑friendly material. Personally, I believe this feature is more of a marketing gimmick than practical value and can be disregarded. It comes in three colour variants: deep blue, grey and green. The dial shares the same hue as the bezel and receives polished and gradient‑colour finishing, echoing the earth‑toned aesthetic tied to this special eco‑focused material.
The fully‑wound power reserve of the VS Factory replica reaches approximately 50 hours.
