For 2015, Panerai has a few interesting new watches, but my favorite is the Panerai Radiomir Firenze 3 Days Acciaio 47mm aka PAM00604 (PAM604). This is really a watch for collectors, and Panerai has made especially sure that the PAM604 very much fits into Panerai lore, being available for sale exclusively in the brands flagship boutiq [...]

Oh metal, where art thou metal? One of the more interesting new-for-SIHH-2015 watches from Panerai is a timepiece produced from a material originally design for automobile brakes which certainly isnt metal. The Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 Carb [...]

For many people, the quintessential modern Panerai is the Luminor 1950. This 44mm-wide case is what most people picture when they think of Panerai with is distinctive locking crown-guard system and chunky style. While Panerai does offer a (small) degree of variety among the [...]

Today, we will be discussing the more interesting details of the?P.4000 movement and also one of the models in?wh [...]

47mm wide and pretty? This must be a Panerai. Today I review the Panerai Radiomir 1940 3 Days, aka PAM514 (PAM00514). Ive been spending a lot more time with Panerai over the last few months. It is a brand that hasnt gotten a lot of my attention in a few years. Why? Well lets face it, even Panerai lovers will agree that in many [...]

For 2014, Panerai quietly released a trio of watches with a sort of aged vintage look and lefty-style crown orientation. The Panerai Luminor Submersible Left-Handed Titanio PAM569 (PAM00569) watch was among them, and it is a hell of a watch for Panerai lovers. In essence, the PAM569 is a mash-up of other Panerai design elements wev [...]

Panerai has debuted two new (retro designed) Luminor 1950 pieces at SIHH 2014. We have already looked at the monopusher chronograph here, and now its time to discuss the other offering from this range: the more restrained, two-hand only PAM557 Destro 3 Days which is essentially identical to the famed PAM372 mod [...]

Panerai has a knack for SIHH novelties and this year is no exception. With a handful of special pieces being released, Im going to focus on what caught my eye. Being rather firmly a Radiomir guy (unless were talking about last years drool-worthy 1950 Regatta 3 Days), I found myself taken by the new Radiomir 1940 Chronograph. W [...]

The PAM 510 is a doppelganger of the PAM 111, with the exception of the words 8 Days on the dial and the movement underneath, the two watches are practically identical. Continue reading

The Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days, or more affectionately known amongst Paneristis simply as the PAM 372 (PAM372), was first seen at SIHH 2011. It has since gone on to become one of the most popular Panerai models. Why? Probably because it combines so much of why people enjoy the brand including a minimalist military style and iconic case. Before I go on to talk about th [...]

Panerai is an often polarizing brand that has, in recent years, seen a massive spike in popularity and has become a somewhat household name in mens luxury wrist watches. Now, often included in the brands that your non-watchnerd friends are aware of, they hold rank [...]

There are reasons why people love and wear their watches.? Maybe their watch has some emotional connection to an event in their past, maybe it was a gift, and if you are like us (watch nerds) you simply love having a useful mechanical toy on your wrist that also has style.
