MECHA 43 STEEL BLACK

The Panzera Mecha 43 Steel Black is a tough adventure tool watch with a mechanical quartz movement, a 43 mm case and water resistance to 300 m. Panzera calls it its toughest watch ever: built for those who scale vertical cliffs, train hard, work harder and keep pushing their limits.

Matte black and solid steel

The crisp, high-contrast matte black dial pairs with the integrated solid-link 316L steel bracelet, brushed and polished to match the case. The hands and main indices are coated with Super-LumiNova for visibility in low light and at night. The bidirectional rotating bezel integrates a solar compass, so however far off the beaten track you go, it helps you find your way home.

Movement and performance

At its heart is the proven, accurate and robust Japanese VH31 mechanical quartz movement. It beats 4 times per second, so the seconds hand sweeps almost smoothly, like an automatic, with the precision and toughness of quartz. It has 5 jewels, hacking seconds and a 3-year battery life. The 316L steel case has a screw-down crown and caseback and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.

Hand-assembled in Sydney

The Mecha 43 is designed and hand-assembled by Panzera's watchmakers in their Sydney, Australia workshop. Each watch goes through a five-day assembly, testing and certification process for accuracy and quality, and is engraved with a unique serial number.
