Here's a video of the PAM348 by pifpaf and great pics by SJX

The primary thing that struck me about this year’s Panerai collection is the seemingly liberal use of faux vintage ecru luminova – which works terrifically for the Panerai aesthetic. 2010 is a good year for Panerai, it never has bad years, and this year’s collection is led by a pair of complications that are startling.

The first is the Radiomir Tourbillon GMT Ceramica – I went “wow” when I saw this one – it’s an impressive watch. I like the look tremendously, but I can’t decide if it’s ugly or good looking because it looks exceedingly strange, especially in a Radiomir case.

Housed in a 48 mm ceramic case, it contains a skeletonised version of Panerai’s tourbillon movement; the movement is mechanically the same as the ordinary tourbillon. Particularly out of the ordinary is the movement design – the base plate is a mesh-like platform, giving the movement a military-industrial type look.

I'm not sure exactly what the difference is between the PAM348 and PAM350, but I do know the differences are slight.

Cheers,
Anthony
