The ceramic used is Zirconium Oxide and it is molded from powder using a process of isostatic pressure (instead of being cast, as is the normal practice). In this way all the positive features of this material are enhanced: its extreme durability (up to five times greater than 316L steel), its strong resistance to a wide range of temperatures, and the fact that when worn for long periods the watch does not become scratched, damaged or corroded.

Also, ceramic formed in this way takes on a more homogeneous appearance than that resulting from the which is the traditional method of casting the material.
No other brand other than perhaps Rolex or Audemars Piguet has such a dedicated and loyal fan base. This cult brand of Italian origin enjoys a superb reputation. Founded in 1860 in Florence, Italy, Panerai became the official supplier to the Italian navy. The instantly recognizable oversized case design is a hallmark of this cult brand. Often produced in very limited runs, these watches are reknowned for selling way above their recommended retail price.
