Panerai Luminor BiTempo Blue PAM01360 Replica
Panerai Luminor BiTempo Blue PAM01360 — VS Factory Super Clone
Among modern Panerai releases, few pieces capture the spirit of adventure and precision like the Luminor BiTempo PAM01360. The term BiTempo — Italian for “dual time” — reflects the watch’s GMT capability, combining utility for travelers with the brand’s signature bold aesthetic. Recreated with mastery by VS Factory, this super clone brings Italian design and Swiss-inspired engineering together in one seamless timepiece.
🌍 Design Overview — The Dual-Time Icon
The Panerai Luminor BiTempo stands out immediately with its deep ocean-blue dial, a hue that changes with the light — from navy at dusk to electric azure under sunlight. Its layout remains true to Panerai tradition:
-
Large 12 and 6 Arabic numerals, laser-cut in a sandwich dial format.
-
Small seconds at 9 o’clock, maintaining the Luminor’s visual balance.
-
Power-reserve indicator at 5 o’clock, reading up to 72 hours.
-
Arrow-tipped GMT hand, independently adjustable for travel.
-
Date display at 3 o’clock, under a domed magnifier for clarity.
The overall effect is unmistakably Panerai — professional, masculine, and ready for the open sea.
⚙️ VS Factory Craftsmanship
The VSF PAM01360 is built to mirror every authentic curve and proportion of the genuine BiTempo:
-
Brushed 316L stainless-steel case (44 mm) with polished bezel edges.
-
Sapphire crystal, anti-reflective coated inside and out.
-
Accurate “REG. T.M.” crown-guard engraving, with realistic lever tension.
-
Vivid blue rubber strap, embossed with “PANERAI,” perfectly color-matched to the dial.
-
Super-Luminova lume, glowing blue-green in darkness — identical tone and longevity to the genuine model.
“The most difficult part,” says one VSF watchmaker, “was matching the metallic gradient of the BiTempo dial. We layered the blue lacquer in micro-increments to catch light exactly as the original does.”
🧠 Movement — P.9012 Clone by VS Factory
At the heart of the VS Factory BiTempo is the P.9012 clone automatic movement, the result of years of refinement. This calibre reproduces the features of Panerai’s in-house P.9012 with impressive fidelity:
-
Independent hour-hand jump function for easy local-time adjustment.
-
24-hour GMT hand with separate setting.
-
Running seconds at 9 o’clock.
-
Power-reserve indicator (72 hours) functioning smoothly and accurately.
-
Decorated rotor and bridges, with engraved “Officine Panerai” markings visible through the sapphire back.

💬 Collector Impressions
“The VSF BiTempo is one of the best-executed Panerai clones I’ve seen — the dual-time function and power-reserve hand move exactly like the real one.”

🧭 Why the VSF BiTempo PAM01360 Stands Out
-
Realistic dual-time functionality with smooth hand alignment.
-
True sandwich dial construction, not printed lume.
-
Near-identical case weight and thickness to genuine.
-
Excellent crown-guard machining — firm, clean lever closure.
-
Reliable movement stability and 3-day power reserve.
VS Factory once again achieves what few others can — capturing not just the appearance, but the spirit of Panerai’s engineering.
