Panerai Luminor BiTempo PAM01361 Replica
Panerai Luminor BiTempo PAM01361 — VS Factory Super Clone
The Panerai Luminor BiTempo PAM01361 from VS Factory (VSF) embodies the modern spirit of Panerai: a bold tool watch fused with refined Italian sophistication. This dual-time masterpiece—known for its BiTempo (two-time-zone) function—represents both technical innovation and timeless design. The VSF version achieves a near-perfect 1:1 recreation, from the luminous depth of its sandwich dial to the mechanical precision of its clone P.9012 movement.
🕰️ Design Overview — Modern Dual-Time Precision
The PAM01361 BiTempo combines utility and elegance in a 44 mm stainless-steel case. Its aesthetics remain faithful to Panerai’s maritime roots:
-
Matte black sandwich dial with cream Super-Luminova numerals.
-
Dual-time (GMT) hand with an electric-blue arrow tip.
-
Power-reserve indicator (0–72 hours) at 5 o’clock.
-
Small-seconds subdial at 9 o’clock.
-
Date window at 3 o’clock beneath an anti-reflective magnifier.
-
Polished bezel set against brushed lugs and crown-guard lever.
The result is a balanced composition that transitions seamlessly between business wear and exploration gear.
⚙️ VS Factory Movement — Clone P.9012 Automatic
Inside, the VSF P.9012 clone powers the watch with extraordinary authenticity. Engineered to replicate the genuine Panerai Caliber P.9012, it delivers identical functions and user feel:
-
Independent hour-hand adjustment for quick time-zone changes.
-
GMT (BiTempo) hand tracking a second time zone.
-
Small seconds + power-reserve indicator, both fully functional.
-
72-hour power reserve via dual-barrel system.
-
Engraved bridges and Geneva-striped rotor, visible through sapphire back.
-
Smooth, low-noise winding with realistic crown resistance.
Every tactile detail—from winding torque to lever closure tension—has been meticulously tuned to mirror the genuine experience.

🌙 Design Language — The BiTempo Identity
Unlike earlier Luminor GMT models, the BiTempo focuses on readability and symmetry. The blue arrow GMT hand adds modern flair, while the sub-dials retain the simplicity of classic Panerai. The luminous numerals—cut from the upper dial layer—emit a soft beige glow in daylight and a vivid green in darkness.
The power-reserve arc is functional yet elegant, showing real-time energy feedback without crowding the dial.
“The BiTempo isn’t loud—it’s confident. It’s a watch for travelers who prefer quiet excellence.”

💎 Why VS Factory’s PAM01361 Stands Out
-
Faithful sandwich dial construction with true depth.
-
Independent GMT hand works exactly as genuine.
-
Perfect color-matched lume and blue hand tone.
-
Correct date-window magnification and AR reflection.
-
Crown-guard lever engraving (“REG. T.M.”) matches OEM depth.
-
Balanced case finish—brushed and polished surfaces transition smoothly.
The VSF PAM01361 proves that high-fidelity replication isn’t about imitation—it’s about preserving Panerai’s mechanical character in every component.
