I couldn't have authored a better take on some of the novel materials Panerai is choosing to work with. There's a lot of different ways to give watches a "blacked out" look. Each has their pros and cons. Panerai as experimented with composite, DLC, ceramic, Carbotech; you name it. Ceramic seems to be material that routinely rises to the top to accomplish this look (albeit still with its own limitations).

The Carbotech looks great. This sort of accident could theoretically occur with almost any material used. The repair could be tricky.
