Officine Panerai

At the 2015 SIHH, Panerai unveiled a Luminor 1950 and a Radiomir 1940 with an Equation of Time display. It is obviously not the first time Panerai uses this complication since it was already displayed in the Astronomo dial several years ago. This complica...  

Look at this dial... Where is the consistence? Totally busy, at the contrary of the DNA of the brand, bo balance at all, like if the guys in charge of the development added things here and theren without following a line, an idea... Uninspired. NOW, Paner... 

... and some answers are hidden the questions you are asking. "innovate or die" : Panerai will have to face it sooner or later The equation of time is a very nice feature, used by AP also, but not many watchmakers, so that's a big plus and there is someth... 

Panerai has IMO most characteristic and fanatic following in world of watches...they know what they wanna and they wanna more of the same :) On any other watch this EOT and configuration of dial would be something that is acceptable on Panerai it is a jok... 

So, why not new concepts? But with a new line of cases. The inconsistence may kill Panerai. Finding new ideas won't.... IF consistent. Best, Nicolas

but personally I can't imagine i.e. rectangular case or to tonneau one and Panerai on the dial :) Panerai is case more than any other watch (pun or no pun) :) Yours D

3646, 6152 and 6154 were Rolex cases... Not a rectangular one, but a nice round one, why not? An elegant case which coudl house elegant complications, in an italian way... Or why not, ala Rolex, elegant, functional, fundamental... But with a smaller and n... 

They are consistent in constantly forcing everything into 2 type of cases good or bad time will tell Cheers D

Submersible case is not considered Luminor case and "transitional" like 372 is different case so more cases than some other brands :) ;)

so true... the the constant struggle between what build the brand up and what will take the brand forward... its been like this since 2010...the brand is trying to grow but constantly takes two steps back for every one forward... they release the the awes... 

weirdly i loved the 365 as the ultimate in panerai complication, here was a great movement in the expanded classic case with a more complex design. i do love the minimalism and design language panerai use, but for some reason it doesn't work here, the EOT... 

If it comes with domed crystal I would be on my wishlist. Tommy

without integrating it to perpetual calendar; or annual at least? Best, Kari

It just looks awkward to me, and I think many others feel the same way. That's why you don't see anyone here posting owner pictures of any of the equation of time Panerai's. And yes, it would be more fitting if Panerai introduced a new case (and possibly ... 

what should have been a..show piece...(the Astronomo) has been taken out of its context and depaupered, for reasons that, I believe, can only be traced in a...jokeying for position..scenario. I also believe that, taking the original dial and case, and pop... 

... but of all complications this one is the last i'm interested in :) and at that pricepoint i wonder who will be ?? No seriously this is certainly not the kind of PAM we were waiting for I guess.

... presenting another limited series of the Mare Nostrum following the Mega size of the original. I feel this is a collectors "for display only" watch, like the Egiziano which very few owners will find suitable for daily wear. I was waiting for a new ver...  

I think they look nice but I think the complication is something that doesn't really reach out to a ton of collectors. At least in my opinion. The other thing I noticed on this piece when I saw it in person is that the month indicator seems to probably co...
