Ennebi Titanic Ref 5218-MM | The World's Biggest Watch? - Panerai Radiomir Egiziano

This unofficial name points at a watch designed and built by the request of an English collector. It has to be put on the diving gear and it should be read by divers (in particular by incursori) who are breathing pure oxygen. For the design and setting-up of this watch, ENNEBI‘s designer Alessandro Bettarini (ENNEBI) did not use as reference either watches currently on sale, ot watches from the past, or any prototypes. Titanic‘s remarkable sizes are determined exclusively by operational needs, as for all the watches of the same kind, and several new technical features were taken under consideration to design this watch.

Let’s consider the images at the bottom. Titanic is made of stainless steel AISI 316 and it has some peculiarities that make it unique with respect to other watches for divers. The lever located on the left side of the watch, that is near to the upper lug on the opposite side with respect to the charging crown (the lever can roll away into the watch), is used to block the bezel. When the lever is out (open), the bezel can rotate freely in both directions. The bezel can be dismounted without harm the water-tightness of the watch. It can be removed by using three pivot screws located on the case back of the watch.

The charging crown has 2 gaskets that assure the water-tightness of the watch up to a maximum pressure of 30 Mpa. An O-ring seal located on the recharging axis and an energized-fluoropolymer lip seal allow to recharge and to put in action the watch even during a deep immersion.

The dial is engraved by means of a mechanical pantograph and the incisions are filled with a luminescent paste.

The standard movement we use is the 6497 on which the watch identification number is engraved. The watch identification and reference numbers are engraved in the case back. The standard version of Titanic has microphoned finishings. Ennebi Titanic Model 5218-MM belongs to a limited serie of 99 pieces.
