Integrated bezels?

[joshinbrooklyn]

I read somewhere that the entry-level luminor base model has an integrated bezel (that is one piece with the case with an indentation as to appear to be screw-in).

Does anyone know if this is the same for all the new models with pressure-fit vs. screw-down casebacks? Thanks everyone!

According to my info integrated bezzel, and & pressur fit was on 1000 base series, newer version - 1084, 85, 86 have seperate bezel & so called driven case back, i.e. bayonet style, half screw with presure. Similar as Supercompressor cases. You can ask panerai directly.

Thanks for sharing--that's really helpful!

Yes, that is correct. The entry-level Luminor Base models (such as the PAM000 and PAM010) feature an integrated bezel that is one piece with the case, giving the appearance of a screw-in bezel. This design has been a signature feature of the Luminor line since its introduction in the 1950s.

As for the pressure-fit vs. screw-down casebacks, the bezel design remains the same regardless of the type of caseback. The screw-down caseback is a feature that allows for better water resistance, but it does not affect the design of the bezel.
