Due to the very short lugs, it is easily wearable. I have a 17 cm wrist, no problem.
Panerai PAM 687: A forgotten Radiomir?
Issued in 2017 in a limited edition of 1000 pieces, this 47 mm Radiomir in steel is eye catching, with only one flaw, in my opinion, its 30 meters water resistant case... This dial is mesmerizing. Strangely, we don't often see it, here... Best, Nicolas ...
That's a beauty. I love the dial color and the inscription on the bezel.
Also, the crown and curvature of the case side catch my eye.
You're right, this one is not often seen.
It's quite handsome. What is the story behind the shape and inscription of the bezel?
The originals were assembled in the 1960s...
with left-over parts from the production of the so-called 'transitional' 3646 with Angelus 240 movements (the very first watches to feature 'Luminor' dials). There are two original pieces, one in the Panerai archives and one in a private collection. The t...
I remember it was a great review indeed my friend.
I’m going to read again now!! Best, Abel
I like it very much
The 685/687 are some of the most compact 47 radiomirs however only 30m WR which has been my biggest gripe, otherwise I would have probably got a 685, they often trade at a discount over here.
I recall someone speculating, maybe it was in a Watchbox review...
...That the 30m water resistance was a historical nod to the original watches. And that the WR might more than what is stated. I emphasize "speculating," I don't think I've ever seen this confirmed.
Very attractive watch.
I have never owned a Panerai and I have never had a 47mm watch. Biggest for me was a 45mm UN. How does it wear? Just sounds big.
Great looking vintage inspired Panerai.
I always liked this one as I think the dial is just amazing and I also really like the engraved bezel which I know not everyone does. Marc
Yes mine
I don't wear it much since it is big and i would hate to hit it against something. The quality seems really nice.
Never really....
gave this model any though. I like it, to be sure, it has historical lineage but, I was done with the 1000Pcs Unique Editions.
You are right dear Nicolas! This is a beautiful Panerai but …
… it seems to be ignored by Paneristi. It is not often shown in IG as a matter of fact. The Depth Resistance is truly surprising in this watch. I remember I dared to swim in the sea with it just a few days after taking delivery of it but I felt completely...
