Twenty-two grand for carbon
By Tom Hargreaves, Falmouth, Cornwall ยท
Carbotech is Panerai's carbon composite, and it's light and tough and looks like a dark slab of slate. The 44 mm Submersible QuarantaQuattro in it is 14.7 mm thick with 24 mm lugs, 300 m, closed back, P.900 with 72 hours, rubber strap.
$22,000 to $23,500, though. That's a lot of money for a case whose main selling point is how it looks, and it's more than a Rolex Deepsea. You're buying the look. I wouldn't.
