...Panerai Studio Shot Of The Day...
Luminor Panerai GMT 8 Days
Monopulsante Chronograph
Ceramica 44MM PAM00317
Martin Wilmsen took these superb photos of his PAM 317 GMT Chronograph. This model is nicknamed "The Black Night" since it is so dark black. This model is really rare as Panerai only made 500 pieces. The ceramic case on this watch is not formed by traditional machining or casting, but by a process named "Isostatic Pressure", which results in an extremely hard case, which is estimated to be five times harder than stainless steel. The reason this model is named a "Monopulsante", which means "Monopusher" in English, is because the chronograph only uses by a single push button, which starts, stops and resets the Chronograph features.
The photo below shows the exhibition case back which has a sapphire crystal so you can see the movement, which is also blacked-out.
