Introducing Submersible Elux LAB-ID concept watch

The new Submersible Elux LAB-ID PAM01800 is the result of 8 years of R&D in our Manufacture in Neuchâtel, the new timepiece is a concept watch and a showcase of innovations thanks to 4 dedicated patent applications.

The core of the new Elux LAB-ID is the luminescence and visibility in every light condition, thanks to the Power Light function that can be activated on demand for a total length of 30 minutes, by simply opening the patented pusher-protector system and click on the dedicated pusher located at 8 o’clock.

This energy illuminates the 12 indexes on the dial, the patented hands and the dot on the unidirectional rotating bezel.

At 6 o’clock on the dial, the linear power reserve indicator shows the residual energy available for lighting up the watch.

The historical background and the source of inspiration

Building on Panerai innovations in the field of luminescence, such as the renowned Radiomir and Luminor compounds, the new Submersible Elux LAB-ID is the culmination of a journey that took the name from the historic patented Elux Panerai invention and the expression of the Laboratorio di Idee.

Elux, an abbreviation of ‘elettroluminescenza’ to mean electroluminescence, is a technology historically patented on June 15, 1966 by Panerai: Elux were originally retro-illuminated panels with electroluminescence technology, designed to enhance the luminescence of naval instruments of the Italian Navy.

A concentrate of high technology & exclusivity  

The new Elux LAB-ID is able to transform the mechanical energy stored into the barrels in luminosity to light up the dial indexes, the hands and the bezel.

The compact 8 x 2.3 mm microgenerator features custom-made coils, magnets and a stator to optimize energy efficiency, it incorporates a high-speed rotor operating at 80 revolutions per second, generating 240 Hz high-frequency electrical signal

How to activate the Power Light function

The Power Light Function is activated thanks to a dedicated pusher located on the case at 8 o’clock, with a simple gesture of opening the patented pusher-protector system.

The protection ensures that the pusher is actioned only when needed, a fundamental security for a reliable & innovative instrument

Hands & Bezel lighting systems

Illuminating moving elements such as the hands (patented) and bezel marker (patent pending) was a particularly ambitious process.
