A world first, Panerai’s all-new Submersible Elux LAB-ID PAM01800 watch draws inspiration from Panerai’s Elux luminescent technology (electroluminescence) that was patented in 1966 (and used as a significant instrument for watches for the Italian Navy). The new Elux LAB-ID boasts four patents and was years in the making in the brand’s Laboratorio di Idee, which has created multiple concept watches over the years. Water resistant to 500 meters, the 49mm watch features a 30-minute on-demand Power Light function that is a breakthrough innovation. The wearer need only open the patented pusher-protector system to activate the mechanically powered illumination. The watch also boasts a linear power light reserve indicator, patented hands and patent-pending bezel marker. The 49mm case is made of the ultra-new proprietary patent-pending Ti-Ceramitech — a ceramized titanium material. The revolutionary watch is powered by a new 363-part automatic mechanical movement with anti-shock device.

Founded in Florence, Panerai was not only a workshop, but also the city's first watchmaking school, helping to perfect and keep the craft alive under one roof. Equated with high quality, the brand supplied precision instruments such as naval combat sights and a radium-based powder that it developed to make the dials of instruments brighter. Panerai's Luminor collection continues to be a popular timepiece that remains radiant through its luminous Arabic numerals and polished steel casing.The brand's close ties with the navy also instigated the creation of the renowned instrument we know today as the Radomir watch, a high functioning timepiece that features manual mechanical movement, wire lungs and is water resistant. To date, Panerai has continued to support nautical activity, partnering with UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission last year to help promote the sustainable development of ocean sciences. This collaboration yielded The Submersible eLab-ID, a concept watch with the highest percentage of recycle-based material ever.
