UNCTIONAL TESTING OF THE PINS FOR QUICK CHANGING
The functional efficiency of the strap attachment pins is tested by more than
1,000 operations of fitting and removing the strap, to ensure that the strap can
be changed with absolute security.

HE PANERAI CERAMIC BRACELET
The links of the ceramic bracelet are made out of injection moulding. After
undergoing a series of manufacturing processes at high temperature, these
links are assembled to create the bracelet. Samples of the bracelets are
subjected to different tests of overall ageing: alternating movements on the
artificial wrists, traction and torsion, salt spray (according to standard ISO
9227), and synthetic sweat (according to standard NIHS 96-50).

HE PANERAI METAL BRACELET
All the parts of the bracelet are formed from a solid block of metal by
operations carried out by numerically controlled milling machines. After the
quality of every single component has been checked, the non-removable part
is assembled and laser-welded, then polishing is carried out by hand. Samples
of the bracelets are subjected to a series of tests of overall ageing of the
bracelet: alternating movements on the artificial wrists, traction and torsion,
salt spray (according to standard ISO 9227), synthetic sweat (according to
standard NIHS 96-50) and measurement of nickel release (according to
standard EN 1811).
