DLC versus Ceramic
The difference is color is very evident with the DLC looking like a Dark Grey and the Ceramic looking matte Black Thanks for looking...
Beautiful shots, Nad
What is next? Maybe a forged carbon Panerai to get 3 black musketeers with each one its own material? Cheers Luc...
Also the finishing of the surface is different
I feel ceramic more uniform and soft...its like silk. DLC is less smooth...and feels colder than ceramic. Agree with NAD...ceramic is just 100% matte finished. Great pics as always Nad. Thanks for sharing
VERY different shades of black/grey
Throw in a tantalum for further comparison: Craig...
Actually I think
that's precisely why it's so difficult to find the perfect strap for the 292... In a sense it's so dark that any strap w/ texture would appear almost too light in comparison.
How is the ceramic coated?
Is the ceramic powdercoated or is the material black all the way thru? I know with PVD, if you you scratch deep enough you will reveal bare metal. What happens in the ceramic?
The ceramic case is solid ceramic
It's not a ceramic coating like the PVD coatings. The ceramic is very tough and highly resistant to scratches, but you will see tiny hairline scratches after a while, assuming you wear the watch regularly. Cheers, Anthony
