Sustainable Concept Timepieces

The Panerai Submersible eLab-ID concept watch is a pioneering effort in sustainable watchmaking, utilizing 98.6% recycled materials by weight. The watch features a case, sandwich dial, and movement bridges made from EcoTitanium, a recycled titanium alloy that is both lightweight and durable. The Super-LumiNova on the dial and hands, as well as the silicon in the escapement, are also 100% recycled. This focus on sustainability extends to the entire supply chain, with Panerai collaborating with various suppliers to source recycled materials and establish a model for circular watchmaking practices.

The Submersible eLab-ID concept watch retains the robust functionality expected from a G-Shock timepiece, offering 300 meters of water resistance and a legible sandwich dial. The watch also includes a Power Light function, which provides up to 30 minutes of illumination on demand, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions. By showcasing these innovations, Panerai aims to inspire other watchmakers to adopt more sustainable practices and reduce the environmental impact of their products.
