Launched in 2017, PAM00692 is the first mechanical watch fitted with a Bulk Metallic Glass or BMG case, one of Panerai’s pioneering innovations. Harder and lighter than steel, this bulk metallic glass has a disordered atomic structure, obtained through a high-pressure injection process at a high temperature, followed by a cooling process lasting for only a few seconds, so that the atoms do not have enough time to become arranged in an ordered, regular structure. The disordered structure is the secret to its great robustness and extreme resistance to corrosion, external shocks and magnetic fields, and enables it to preserve its appearance over time.
