While I agree simplicity is ONE of OP's DNA...
I'm not sure if it's wrong for them, or any respectable watch brand, to go into complication? They are a business after all and complications are a perfectly legitimate way for them to grow organically and to appeal to wider audience. I think as long as they maintain the technical/utilitarian appeal then I would welcome these new creations...
Not the most exiting SIHH ever, but therefore maybe the best
Strange I know but being back from SIHH2018 I realize this might be one of the best years ever. What did they offer ? Not too much! Since many, many years we had way too many Limited editions and that's the reason why I lost quite some interest in Panerai...
no, that is a 47mm
had it in my hands for 10 minutes and didn't want to give it back, but I had too
It is a very refreshing piece...
And I like the looks a lot... of only it was a bit smaller than the 47mm...
Here are some more pictures...
I agree, one of the real surprises, I quite like those dials. Cheers Henrik ...
best pix yet of this dial..
the dark dial has me interested...slightly...I don't know how I feel about the smaller cased Luminors... good luck to Panerai going forward...
Indeed Bruno, many women will be seduced by the 38mm, including mine 😁
My wife likes the pam908 a lot, I wonder why ...
IMHO large & simple dial is the pedigree of Panerai...
when i see some complications from Panerai, i wonder why would they do that ?! (and sometimes even a platinum LE !!) big and bold is what i believe i love Panerai for...i see most men doubt would they carry 47mm but i see women prefer them (& sport them e...

Nice and refreshing
not the run off the mill you see in street nowadays. Tks fr keeping me update to date. Cheers.
When I first glance, I thought it was a LF! Seriously...
only when I read the post then I realized it is an OP. I even double check the header of the post under the Brand 🤣 A little worried of such “diworsificaton”, not diversification. Rgds Raymond
I like it. I also like the 47mm.
What I will never like is a 38, 36, 34 etc...Panerai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's my fault, having gotten old. If you live long enough....
you get too see everything...twice! Sometime, though, I wish I would have died...before...seeing some of the things I did...LOLLLL
From Perezcope's IG account
Showing the "inspiration" for this new Art Deco dial and hands: a Rolex pocket watch Vintage Panerai supplied their own dials for their Rolex-made watches (movements and cases), but now Richemont Panerai is even using Rolex dials and hands along with the ...
Love the black dial one.
A 42 mm would have been great. Thanks for sharing these special unseen pieces. Vte
That a beauty
I have not seen this. Thank you for sharing. May I ask which calibre it houses? Kindest regards,
45mm Rad Case
Yes, I would like to see that version. The wire lugs would be a good match for the deco font. Sincerely, Johnny Mac
Art Deco font is uncharacteristic of Panerai.
I guess there’s no lume? So it might sound strange calling it a Radiomir. But I guess people who don’t know the history wouldn’t care. Radiomir and Luminor are now case shapes rather than lume material. I agree that the original Radiomir case with wire lu...
CanNOT agree more!
And I was patiently waiting for fellow Purists to bring up this watch! While I'm still reserving my judgement until I get to spend some time w/ this piece, I have to applaud OP for doing something different. I see this as a very reasonable attempt to win ...
As a Panerai purist....
I would rather have "modern" models like these (by the truckload) than any..complicated Breiteling-look-alike/wannabe!!!
NIce release!
Also another recent release that I like was the Mare Nostrum. Uncharacteristically Panerai but lovely piece still. I hope Panerai regains its former glory! Miss those days when all my friends are knocking around with their pams
I totally agree with you ....
Panerai have been to greedy, but I still love some of the past watches that were true to the original concept.
