Although it is not my favorite of the Panerai 2011 Collection, the PAM 372 is looking to be an early favorite of the Panerisiti (unofficial vote count ).? Part of the Panerai Historic collection, the PAM 372 features a 47mm polished steel case, a 3mm plexiglass cover (rather than sapphire crystal), with the Panerai manufacture P.3000 hand-wound mechanical movement making the watch tick.?? The watch just has the “Panerai Look” to it, don’t you think?? Production will be somewhat limited, — 3,000 units.? Price looks to be around $10,000.Update:? See my Panerai PAM 372 “Look Book” here.

Panerai Luminor 1950 Chrono Monopulsante Left-Handed 8 Days Titanio (PAM 345)Besides the Panerai Luminor 1950 Destro 8 Days Titanio Special Edition PAM 368 model that was presented at SIHH 2011, the Italian watchmaker has also unveiled at the same event an even more complicated Panerai Luminor 1950 Chrono Monopulsante Left-Handed 8 Days Titanio (PAM 345) hand-wound watch.As the name implies, the new timekeeper was presented in a case crafted of brushed titanium. However, unlike the gargantuan PAM 368 model, this watch features a relatively compact body only 44 millimeters wide.The PAM 345 is powered by the manufacture-made P.2004/9 movement that offers a flyback chronograph functionality and is almost identical to the P.2004 caliber that powers the PAM 344 watch unveiled at the same time last year.The only difference between the two is that the power reserve indicator has been moved from the dial to the rear side of the watch.Judging by the layout of the dial and positioning of the single chronograph pusher, Panerai’s engineers didn’t spend too much time adapting the mechanism for a left-handed version of the watch. They simply turned it 180 degrees clockwise.Probably, that was the reason behind the removal of the power reserve indicator from the face: they wanted the “Luminor Panerai” inscription to stay at its usual place at 12 o’clock.Well, this looks is a nice chronograph watch for the right-handed people, but the price will probably be very high.
