With its imposing cushion case and crown-protecting bridge, the Panerai has a silhouette that does not go unnoticed. But the same architecture, made of broad surfaces and visible mechanical relief, also multiplies the contact points exposed to everyday micro-scratches.
The most exposed areas
- The cushion case: its broad flat faces (steel, titanium or bronze depending on the version) mark visibly, without the curve that softens scratches on a classic round case.
- The crown-protecting bridge: a Panerai signature, mechanical and protruding, and therefore particularly exposed to knocks.
- The wide lugs and the clasp: in direct contact with the leather strap or metal bracelet, areas of repeated friction.
- The bezel on models that have one, exposed as on any watch with a visible bezel.
Why it matters on this model in particular
On bronze versions, the patina is sought after and evolves naturally over time, but an accidental scratch on the case breaks that even evolution and leaves a mark that does not "heal" the way a natural patina does. On steel or titanium versions, the broad flat surfaces make every micro-scratch more visible than on a more rounded case.
