It may not look as bright as the Ceralume chronograph on the outset, especially considering how IWC has integrated Super-Luminova into both the dial and strap of the watch. However, the Submersible Elux required an equally extensive amount of research and development. Its inspiration, goals, and execution were just different.
The light switch is located under a guard at 8 o’clock, and the Power Light indicator at 6 o’clock will track how much juice is left. But don’t worry about being left in the dark if it runs out — the minute hand and bezel pip are still coated with blue Super-Luminova X1, while the hour hand and indexes have been treated with green Super-Luminova X2, both improved variants of standard Super-Luminova that glow brighter and for longer.
On that note, the Submersible Elux features a case, bezel, and case back in blue Ti-Ceramitech, another patented invention that took Panerai seven years to develop. The ceramised titanium is 44 per cent lighter than steel and boasts a fracture toughness 10 times that of traditional ceramic. At 49mm by 21.9mm, the Submerisble Elux is not going to be everyone’s everyday watch, but given that the objective here is mechanical creativity, it doesn’t need to be.
