Panerai Pam 661 Carbotech at home in the water.

Here are a few action pics of my Pam 661 Carbotech at home in the water.



Hands down this Carbotech is the most comfortable watch I have ever owned. It’s become my ultimate “Big Black Watch” It’s a lightweight beast.b-)

Thank you. It became a Panerai grail watch for me when it first came out. I really researched Carbotech a lot as I am a fan of ceramic on black watches. It’s a amazing watch material.

Congrats, it looks great! I miss not getting this watch. I waited for a regular limo or with ecru lime but this year we got a bunch of subs. I’m hoping next year is the luminors turns!

Big congrats, awesome watch! I’ve always been a fan of the material and this particular expression of it.

Looks really good.

Expect many more reports as I dive alot in the summer with my watches. I am worried the Carbotech may spoil me with comfort and unbelievable durability compared to my metal watches. The best way to describe the Pam 661 Carbotech on the wrist is like having a mat black Laferrari in a mechanical watch. Its way different than my other Pam's and metal watches.

Looking forward to more of your excellent phot and following the patina process + seeing it on different straps.

Regarding the dial, the ecru lume and blue look really good together with the carbotech.

Congrats again, great choice.

A quick phone video. I am going fresh water diving today along some bridge piers about 15-25' depth. I believe the 661 will go as its ideal for such a watch. On more extensive dives I use my watch as a secondary timing device with a Suunto on my other wrist. My Pam 104 and Rolex Sub did great. I am looking forward to using the much lighter Carbotech this year.
