Chris Pratt seen doing his latest movie press with a 44mm Black Panerai.

I noticed Chris Pratt doing a TV interview with a unmistakable black Panerai 44mm Luminor on his wrist. Turns out he is all over with this watch from the golf course to his latest Disney movie press.

I have seen a bunch of guys post behind the scenes stuff with camera ops/dps and such wearing pams. I think they are more popular in Hollywood and such than maybe with the crowd around here these days

Looks badass on him. Panerai is so unique unlike any watch I've owned.

I have been loving my Panerai Carbotech. Probably the best/toughest diver I have ever tested from Panerai. Stronger than titanium and scratch resistant as ceramic without being brittle. Probably could be my one and only and oddly enough for being a black watch gets the most comments.

Carbo tech was born out of the slytech right?

It’s what split the 2, I could be wrong

It’s Panerai’s latest high tech patent material. To me it looks like damascus steel but feels like ceramic on the wrist.

Pam 661 Carbotech. The p.9010 movement is outstanding in function and form. I am getting over 80hr power reserve with +1 second a day. All the advanced automatic movement upgrades like ceramic rotor bearings, etc...

Agreed. I know there’s lots of strap options, but sure looks the way it came from the factory IMO

Chris is wearing a Ceramic Pam 1441. It is on its stock leather strap. This is the same as the TUTTONERO model with ceramic bracelet. It is a GMT but oddly enough this particular Pam has a WR of only 100m instead of 300m? I came across that when I was looking to purchase my latest Pam 661 Carbotexh purchase that has 300M WR. I have no idea why a ceramic models don’t have a 300M WR like most all 44mm Luminor models. The only Ceramic model that has a 300m WR is the SUBMERSIBLE.

What's the diff between ceramica and carbo tech? Carbo tech is more more durable and tough?

Completely different materials. One is ceramic and the other one is basically a form of carbon fiber.

Beat me to it Carbotech is also only used and patented by Panerai so it makes it a lot more exotic/exclusive than ceramic which is used throughout the watch industry.

I posted this last summer but while diving by a bridge pier with my Pam 661 Carbotech on, I hit the watch hard on the lower support stones about 15’ under water. I hit the watch so hard that had it been one of my Rolex models, I would have surfaced to assess the damage. When I did surface to check the Carbotech out, it had no marks on the case or crystal. I was shocked because the stones were even jagged and surely would’ve left a deep gouge or dent on a metal watch. My Pam 661 still looks absolutely pristine like it just came out of the box. It’s the toughest premium watch material I know of. This is what made me a believer even over my ceramic watches.

We are all watch enthusiast here and having a automatic watch that looks this good, top tier movement, and made out of a exotic material that is a step above but also tougher is very appealing on many levels to the WIS. I think the price point is easily justified. I said this about the overall ownership experience of the Panerai Carbotech models.... “It’s like wearing a flat black LaFerrari on the wrist.”

Like a snowflake, no two Carbotech models are the same by the way they are constructed and manufactured.
