This article captures the excitement and debate surrounding a unique Panerai launch.
They launched something new for the 15th anniversary 'Paneristi.com'
We already had 3 of these in the past years
First the 195
than the 360
and not so long agog the 532
3 nice watches, three times a black case
Now we get this
Well, I like it. Those black pieces were nice but got tired of all those black case. Personal opinion ofcourse but imo too much is too much. So this time a very clean and simple one was welcome.
2 hands, steel case and not an in-house movement but a modified Unitas like we're used too.
The best thing …. the price !!!
When they offer us a special edition very often we know we'll have to pay a lot extra. This time Panerai really did us a favor! At 4200 USD ( today's rate about 3750 euro) this is a VERY cheap one for being a Panerai
I believe it's even much cheaper than a PAM000 logo.
What about the blue logo ? I like it
Have you seen the 6 and 9, they are closed …. strange but why not
Conclusion, I like it and the price is unbelievable attractive. It's been a long time that a brand offers us a special edition without putting an inflated price tag on it.
