Officine Panerai release a new piece, the Panerai Radiomir 3 days Platino 47mm or PAM 00373.? Forming part of the brand’s Special Edition collection, the piece draws on Paneristi-pleasing historical styling.? The beauty of this piece lies in the simplicity of its rich brown dial, using bar-markers and dots in place of numerals, framed with the signature cushion-shaped 47mm case.? This one uses Plexiglass in place of sapphire crystal, another vintage styling touch.At its heart is the brand’s acclaimed in-house P.3000 Calibre with 3 day power reserve, a? movement characterised by its large plainly finished bridges.? Water resistance is to 100m.Panerai continue their clever strategy of producing limited editions across their portfolio and the Radiomir 3 days Platino will be a limited editon of 199 pieces, another fine example of their “less is more” ethos.? The piece comes presented on a brown alligator strap with white gold buckle.Popularity: 4% [?]|||No Comment Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic BronzoPosted bySylvia McElherroninJanuary 26th 2011Panerai release the? Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo.? It’s not the only piece unveiled by Officine Panerai at SIHH 2011, and many would argue that it’s not the pick of the crop of their new releases, but with a watchcase constructed from bronze it is surely the most unusual.? Known as the PAM00382, it is symbolic of all things pelagic, a piece so aquatic in appearance that you can almost sense the saltiness of the sea.? If King Neptune wore a watch then this would be it.If you know Panerai, then you’ll know this model, it has all the safety hardware – unidirectional rotating bezel with graduated scale for dive time, the outsize security brake lever-locked crown, the raised studs on the bezel.? That bronze case ( ….sure to produce a patina which would impress even “Old Man” Harrison) has a tactile brushed finish and after a series of 44mm models across the Panerai portfolio big is back, this one is a cuff-busting 47mm across.The stunning yet subtle green dial continues the aquatic theme, displaying by far the best Luminor dial layout – bar-markers and dots, with the small seconds at 9 o’clock and date window at 3 o’clock, another fine example of a reassuringly retro + refreshingly revamped mix which Panerai execute so brilliantly.The? piece uses the formidable P9000 Calibre with its chunky 3/4 plate construction visible through the caseback.? Sensitive skin? fear not, a titanium ring frames the sapphire crystal on the caseback so no nasy rash.? The only possible problem with this big boy might be that weighty bronze case.The Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Bronzo is a limited edition of 1000 pieces and comes presented on a vintage style leather strap with a spare strap and the tools required to fit it also supplied.Popularity: 6% [?]|||No Comment Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT TaipeiPosted bySylvia McElherroninDecember 1st 2010Panerai present a new limiited edition watch – the Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Taipei limited edtion watch.The piece celebrates the Taipei 101 building in Taiwan which until this year was the world’s tallest building and where on the basement retail level, Panerai have a boutique.This is an eye-pleasing addition to the Panerai collection – 44mm stainless steel case, on-trend brown tones, nicely proportioned large “12″, “6″ and “9″ numerals, with the other smaller numerals in place of hour markers and the distinctive linear power reserve indicator just above the 6 o’clock.?

An engraving of the Taipei 100 building is featured on the back of the watch case.Presented on a vintage leather strap, the Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Taipei is as you may have already guessed limited to 101 pieces.Taking watch design inspiration from architecture is not a new phenomenon, earlier this year the highly acclaimied Jean Dunand Palace more than paid tribute to London’s Crystal Palace and the Eiffel Tower……The Jean Dunand Palace …….and another piece from 2010, the Ulysse Nardin Spasskaya Tower watch replicated the clock of the Spasskaya Tower in Russia’s Red Square as shown below.The Ulysse Nardin Spasskaya Tower Limited Edition WatchPopularity: 11% [?]|||No Comment Officine Panerai Radiomir Composite Marina Militare 8 Giorni PAM00339Posted byJohnny McElherroninJanuary 20th 2010Officine Panerai presented a number of new pieces at SIHH in Palexpo, Geneva this week. Among them, one of my favourites, the Officine Panerai Radiomir Composite Marina Militare 8 Giorni – PAM00339.Officine Panerai Radiomir Composite Marina Militare 8 Giorni PAM00339Released in a limited edition of just 1000 examples, this Radiomir exudes classic Panerai simplicity, evoking the memory of early models and mounted on a vintage leather hand-stitched strap, yet it marks a new milestone in materials technology. The silky 47mm case is constructed in a remarkable composite, new to watch*** and developed by Panerai, which is harder than stainless steel, titanium and even conventional ceramics. Composed of ceramisised aluminium, the material is the result of an elaborate electrochemical process and is lighter and more durable than any other used by the manufacture to date.The Militaire models have historically been official issue to the Italian Navy since the 1940s and nowadays only appear in limited numbers at intervals of several years, *** them highly sought after and collectable.The signature sandwich dial, a deep brown like the case, features small seconds at the 9 o’clock position and the 8 Giorni Brevatto legend at the 3, denoting the eight-day power reserve available from the fully in-house P.2002/7 Calibre manual-wound mechanical movement.As the pursuit for futuristic materials remorselessly pushes forward, it is really nice to see a tasteful application of old and new technology as one, and Panerai have nailed it with the Radiomir Composite Marina Militare 8 Giorni.Popularity: 10% [?]|||No Comment Panerai Radiomir Titanium 47mm Limited EditionPosted byJohnny McElherroninJanuary 5th 2010Officine Panerai present the latest addition to their highly successful Radiomir collection – the Panerai Radiomir Titanium 47mm Limited Edition.? This special edition piece features the Panerai Calibre OP XXVII hand wound movement based on a Minerva base.? The watchcase constructed from titanium is 47mm wide and is the instantly recognisable cushion shape.The very origins of the Radiomir are reproduced here to striking effect, for it is, in part, a tribute to the 1936 Radiomir prototype in that the dial of this Radiomir Titanium which, as with it’s unbranded predecessor,?is?also bereft of ?branding or text.?However, the?signature Panerai subsidiary seconds dial, located at the 9 o'clock position, and the distinctive?cushion case illustrate how the brand have remained true to it’s heritage to this day.
