After making waves at the Watches and Wonders showing, the Panerai Luminor 8 Giorni ‘Brunito Steel’ continues to captivate watch enthusiasts. Its distinctive character resides in its unusually finished steel case, which has been dubbed ‘Brunito steel’. Resembling the distressed-jeans style in the fashion world, the Brunito steel case is a refreshing change from standard watch models.
Through a skilled process, the large 44mm steel case is layered with black PVD treatment and then brushed by hand to obtain a unique distressed metal look that resembles metal aged over time. This effect showcases various subtle hues from the bright silver of the base steel to the dark black PVD coating. The craft extends even to the strap buckle, making each watch distinctly unique.
