Since the pioneering invention of the mainspring in the 15th century, pocket watches and later wristwatches have been constantly refined in form and function. The RB 14 PANAMA take five wristwatch is an exciting new model in this development. Fully wound, the mechanically driven watch runs for five days. This remarkably long performance is achieved through a high-quality, modified automatic movement with two barrels. An innovation that lends this watch a high degree of individuality. In terms of the design, it impresses with many individual aspects, which conclusively blend into unity. The numerals on the clearly designed dial appear surprisingly three-dimensional, since they are applied to a second level. The typographic design with the Estilo typeface emphasises the watch’s imperturbably modern character. The case shows an equally timeless aesthetic and is well suited for everyday use. Thanks to a special anti-reflection coating, the watch glass is extremely scratch-resistant and keeps intact for many years. In addition, a special plasma nitriding with a Vickers hardness of more than 1,000 makes the bezel virtually resistant against scratches. The RB 14 PANAMA take five is worn either with a leather band manufactured using the traditional full-bugg technique, or with a vegan band crafted from high-tech materials. Its pure elegance in accordance with sophisticated mechanics fascinates the wearer every day anew.
Statement by the Jury
The RB 14 PANAMA take five wristwatch leads a symbiosis of delicate dial design and innovative mechanics to a highly particular appeal.
