panerai original luminator

Mike Disher of Time Zone is at the SIHH show and is covering some of the new releases. Today we are looking at Panerai watches. I'm pretty immune to the charms of this brand but these are some lovely and *** watches.My favorite is the Radiomir 10 Days GMT in pink gold, PAM00273. It uses the Panerai calibre P.2003 movement and has a 45 mm diameter pink gold case with a "sandwich" dial and pink gold hands. The central hand with the arrow displays the second time zone. The edition of 250 pieces that will be available starting in August.The Luminor 1950 Regatta Rattrapante, PAM00286 will be produced in a special limited edition of 500 pieces. It measures 44 mm in diameter and it houses Panerai calibre OP XVIII, an auto winder with column wheel created exclusively for Panerai. The watch will be available starting in May.This is Panerai's Radiomir Chronograph, ref. PAM00288. The movement is the Panerai Calibre OP XII with COSC certification in a Radiomir 45 mm case. The 700 piece edition will be available starting in August.The Radiomir Black Seal Ceramic, ref. PAM00292 has a case made of Zirconium Oxide. The movement is the Panerai Calibre OPXI which is COSC certified. 45 mm diameter, water resistant to 100 meters. The dial also has a torpedo in relief. The edition of 1000 pieces will be available starting in September.

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.
