Forming part of the brand’s Special Edition collection, the piece draws on Paneristi-pleasing historical styling.?

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.?

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.?

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.?

A while ago, I posted about made out of the leather interior of this Mercedes-Benz 300SLR (owned by ). If you own a Panerai watch, you probably know all about this strap thing. I have seen them in all kinds of colors, materials (even elephant) and with all types of buckles and inscriptions.A very popular leather strap seems to be the ammo pouch strap. Yes, an ammo pouch. Below you’ll see one of a Russian soldier outfit from the early 20th century.I have seen some really nice models over at , and for a decent price as well. The straps made by are also very popular amongst world wide. I really like the vintage Swiss ammo pouch strap by Ted Su, as pictured below, but for 250 USD I would like to see it before I buy it.I have a couple of straps for my Panerai and a few of them are really stiff, which kinda annoys me after a full day of wear. It is great that has this special , this way owners of these non-OEM straps can exchange information and experiences. I also have good experiences with buying straps from , although they don’t seem to carry a lot of Ammo Pouch straps. However, they do have the famous straps The military pouch strap they have is quite nice though, see the picture below:You can get really caught up in this Panerai strap thing if you don’t watch out!
