Panerai Releases

I said bigger wasn’t better when it came to the new 38mm Luminor Due Models that were released this year at SIHH2018 and it seems that way based on the press and comments I have been seeing throughout the show. For me, the new pair of 45mm Luminor Due models is what grabbed my attention the most. The PAM943 and …

The Panerai SIHH 2018 releases made it very clear that bigger isn’t always better when it comes to case size. Officine Panerai introduced the smallest watch in their collection with the addition of four 38mm Luminor Due models. They introduced the Due line a few years back and it was initially met with mixed feelings. Over time it is clear …

With Design Miami only a week away, as with years past, Panerai has announced a Special Edition to celebrate the event. This year the model of choice is the Officine Panerai PAM721 Radiomir 3 Day Acciaio. Instantly you will notice that the new PAM721 has a simple and iconic dial with no logo or text (in many circles known as …

The Panerai Bronzo. It has gone from something that was looked at as an oddity when it was first introduced in 2011 to one of the most sought after special editions Panerai has released. These days you will be lucky to find a Bronzo anywhere under double retail price. The original PAM382 was subsequently followed in 2013 by the PAM507 …

The wait is now over with the mid season release of the PAM722 and PAM723 Luminor Marina 1950. There are two models that have been released which utilize the stainless steel bracelet, the PAM722 is the 42mm version …

This past year we have seen the Swiss watch industry pivoting a bit and stepping slightly out of the box in their marketing and sales tactics. With sales lower than expected all around a few notable brands have partnered up and done some exclusive time pieces with watch enthusiast groups and online blogs/curators, and even with social media channels to …

Officine Panerai has just come out with a post SIHH release that is sure to please a lot of Panerai enthusiast. The PAM716 Mare Nostrum limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide has just been announced in it’s new 42mm steel case. Looking like no other Panerai in the family, the Mare Nostrum was the first chronograph model that was created by Panerai …

The final offering from Panerai in the PCYC trio is the PAM654 Luminor Marina Flyback Chrono with the white SLC dial. This piece like the Panerai PAM653 features a 44mm steel case as opposed to the 47mm titanium case in the PAM652. The biggest difference you will notice right off the bat from the other 44mm PCYC offering is that …

Building upon the latest release of the Panerai PAM652 for the PCYC (Panerai Classic Yacht Challenge) celebrating their 13th year, the second piece of the collection was released.
