Introducing: The Panerai Submersible BMG-TECH 47mm

January 14, 2019

No doubt some of you will remember previous "BMG-TECH" editions from Panerai that employed a special alloy made of a blend of titanium, nickel, aluminum, zirconium, and copper in their case construction. BMG-TECH is, for lack of a better term, a high-tech alloy that is very strong while also offering improved protection against shock, magnetism, and even corrosion. With the new Submersible BMG-TECH 47mm, Panerai has fitted a BMG-TECH case with a bezel made of Carbotech for a modern expression of the Submersible aesthetic.? Initial Thoughts As this is not the first 47mm Submersible to use BMG-TECH construction C the story here is the combination of the BMG-TECH case and the Carbotech bezel to form the PAM00799. Utilizing the in-house P.9010 automatic movement with three days of power reserve, the PAM00799 has blue luminous accents, 300 meters water resistance, and will sell for $14,900. This new BMG-TECH model expands Panerai's efforts in using avante-garde materials to recreate their now-iconic aesthetic. In applying new-age materials, Panerai is able to bring some variety to a line up that has long focused on what is essentially two vintage designs and might even succeed in bringing the brand to a new material-focused audience.?
