SIHH 2015: Panerai Live Photos of PAM614, PAM616, PAM603

Live photos from SIHH 2015. Panerai this year is focusing on the Submersible Collection, part of the Luminor Collection. The Submersible Collection is Panerai's extreme sports line of watches, which compliments its already sporty line of existing watches. Perhaps the most anticipated watch is the Panerai Submersible Carbotech, a watch that has a case made of a carbon material. This carbon watch is certainly generating a large amount of buzz, as it is a first for Panerai. It's important to note however, that while the carbon material is a first for Panerai, it's not a first for the industry, as a small amount of other companies also offer watches with carbon-derived cases. Please read and see the photos below to get a feel for the new Panerai Collection at SIHH 2015, and to get special PuristSPro insight on the latest collection.

The entrance at the Panerai booth is surrounded with vintage Panerais of lore.

Oh wow... A compass.

Oh Baby! An original depth gauge!

An important piece, this prototype started what eventually became the Submersible collection.

The Egyptian is 60MM!

Clean, classic, sober. The design of the original 1950s Panerai Luminor. I would love to own a piece like this!

The famous California dial.

Pushers to the chronograph are screw down buttons. That usually means you can't use the buttons when underwater.

This is the titanium version, it's a handsome watch. It also has a date and a 60 minute chronograph - the minute hand is under the second hand.

This watch has a great warm look. It reminds me of the PAM 300 from 2010, of which only 99 were made!

Clean, classic, and sober case back.

Notice the PIG Submarine on the rear.

Interesting Tid-bit: The Carbotech is sometimes referred as the Turbotech as a nickname at SIHH.

The side of the case has ridges even on the gnurled edge of the bezel adjuster.

What are your thoughts so far among the latest Submersible collection? What is your favorite? What is your least favorite? Thanks for viewing!

Quick question - are there any other Panerai models this year that aren't in the press kit? Cheers, Anthony

Nope, that's it.

On behalf of our readers at PuristSPro, I did have a private meeting with Panerai to discuss the special new pieces and to gather information for our users. And those are all the watches that were shown to me.

Thanks for the live Panerai photos

Good job Patrick, thanks for sharing these pics of the Panerai SIHH watches. The carbotech is interesting, how does it feel? Are the carbon patterns more noticeable in person? Regards, ED-209

The Carbotech Feel

By: patrick_y : January 21st, 2015-22:19

The Carbotech (nicknamed Turbotech here at SIHH) has a very smooth feel, despite what it looks like. There is very little to no feel of the wavy pattern of the material underneath. It also has a dry and matte feeling and look as opposed to a wet polished ...

Thanks Patrick for describing the Carbotech. And cool pics of the raw bezel. Really looking forward to seeing this one in person. Personally I wish it came in a smaller case size for my tiny wrists LOL. Regards, ED-209

It's an interesting piece.

Personally, the Carbon from Audemars Piguet is more what I'm accustomed to seeing. But of course, Panerai has to do something that hasn't been done widespread in the industry, so this pattern is nice. DRMW would like it, as it resembles those Damascus Ste...

It is huge!

By: patrick_y : January 26th, 2015-11:11

I used to think that a Panerai should be 47MM always. And now I realize that the 44 mm looks much better on my wrist, so now I just wear a 44mm. Wait a year or two and the Carbotech will soon be in 44mm guise. In the meanwhile, we're just going to have to...

forgot to ask..

what did you have on your wrist during SIHH 2015? also...what your thoughts on the carbon by Panerai..kinnda like CF of AP? (suffer and slowly phased out?)

I had a Panerai watch (one that you are very familiar with) on my wrist. Here are some pictures of the raw blanks of the Carbotech watch. I think it's unique with its wavy lines. I immediately said when I saw it, "reminds me of a damascus steel knife bla...

Any live pics of the Purdy engraved ? I myself am VERY disapointed in the SIHH offerings Nice live pics though & thank for sharing.

Read this!

By: patrick_y : January 21st, 2015-23:18

Read this! Fresh and hot off the press. Thanks for responding. FYI. This watch is not part of the Purdey collection and to my knowledge there were not any PURDEY watches at SIHH 2015.

Thanks, Patrick. For me, only one, this year. Mare Nostrum!

By: amanico : January 19th, 2015-22:17

Good idea to have made it in Titanium, as the Watch is huge ( 52 mm ) and can be heavy, then. I also like the idea to know what I have Inside my Watch, hidden Under a solid case back. Now, at 52 mm, I don't have the wrist for it, sadly. Too bad! Nicolas

Well good for your wallet at least ;-) [nt]

Look at what I do...

I put it outside of my suit... Or, you could put it on your leg! P.S. Nice shoes Amanico. MooOOoo! ...
