For the three version, which version do you like? | Panerai Radiomir 1940 Limited Edition Chronographs




Today, what I share is  Panerai Radiomir 1940 , which has three version, after reading this article,please let us know which version do you like. 
Panerai has a knack for SIHH novelties and this year is no exception. With a handful of special pieces being released, I'm going to focus on what caught my eye. Being rather firmly a Radiomir guy (unless we're talking about last year's drool-worthy 1950 Regatta 3 Days), I found myself taken by the new Radiomir 1940 Chronograph. With three limited edition versions rendered exclusively in precious metals, these aren't your garden variety Radiomirs and their dial design eschews Panerai's signature sparse appeal for something entirely more retro.

While the three versions may sport different case materials and dial designs, they do have a number of shared elements. Case size is 45mm wide and, being of the "1940" Radiomir variety, they have Luminor style lugs (rather than the Radiomir's signature wire lugs). The 1940 Chronograph is fitted with a 2.8 mm thick plexiglas crystal up front and a sapphire crystal in the rear to allow a view of the Panerai OP XXV movement. The plexiglas is likely employed to support the vintage vibe of the 1940 aesthetic.



It's pretty tough to say which is my favorite as the Platino has a beautiful ivory dial with blued steel accents for the chronograph register and chronograph seconds. This would definitely be one to see in person as there is a chance that the light tone of the dial might be overpowered by the large and chunky case. The Oro Rosso has arguably the best dial, a deep brown with a super cool California dial (a mix of Roman and Arabic numerals), but a 45 mm red gold watch is a tough sell for my wrist.



Finally, the Oro Bianco is the only one to get a sandwich dial, in which the luminous elements of the black dial are actually cut-outs that reveal a luminous layer underneath the main dial, another distinctly Panerai design trait. Each model has its merits and the overall design is one that mixes a bit of current-day Panerai with a lot of vintage-sourced style.



Functionally, the Radiomir 1940 Chronograph offers a standard time display along with a two register chronograph system displaying running seconds and a 30 minute chronograph measure which displays its seconds centrally (on the large seconds hand). The movement enclosed within the large case is the Panerai OP XXV which is based on the Minerva 13-22 movement which has been connected with Panerai as far back as the 1920s. This hand-wound column wheel chronograph movement features 22 jewels, a rate of 18,000 vph and 55 hours of power reserve.

About Panerai PAM389, how much do you know?

About Panerai PAM389,  how much do you know? PAM389, uses a scratch resistant ceramic insert. Instead of using the typical subdials for minute counters, Panerai opted to use two central hands: one for the seconds and a blued steel for the minutes counter. The running seconds for both models is at 9 o'clock. And for the ceramic bezel model, PAM615, a subdial indicating the hour count is at 3 o'clock. The full titanium model, PAM614, instead houses a date window at 3 o'clock. The third submersible, PAM616, is a true novelty for Panerai, though not so much in the watch industry. Following Audemars Piguet, Linde Werdelin, Hublot, Richard Mille, and a few others, Panerai released its first watch housed in carbon material. Panerai calls it "Carbotech," and lacking exact details on the manufacturing process, it seems to be like recent models of aforementioned brands whereby multiple layers of carbon fibers are stacked then processed and cut to match the

Panerai Case Types and Shapes

Panerai Case Types and Shapes Panerai Case Types At first glance, there appears to only be two case shapes of Panerai, though this is not really the case (no pun intended). I write this article because I think that many beginners to the Panerai brand (as I was initially) may not be aware of the variations available. In reality there are four basic case styles, and several sizes of each:Luminor, Luminor 1950, Radiomir and Ferrari. Luminor  Probably the most popular of the case styles, the Panerai Luminor case is also the most contemporary looking of all the Panerai watches. With relatively speaking more straight edges the Luminor case style is found in two sizes: 40mm and 44mm. The Luminor case has the Device Protecting the Crown which has become one of the most recognizable Panerai trademarks. Luminor 1950  My personal favourite. The Luminor 1950 case style is similar to the standard Luminor from the front, but when viewed from the side and the back, the differen

Is the life of the quartz watch only about ten years?

Image
Many people think that quartz electronic watch life is too short, not durable. In fact, this view is wrong. A good mechanical watch can be used for about 20 years, but this time every three years or so will need to refuel time. As the mechanical parts of the wear and tear, often to repair or replacement, travel time error will increase. What is the life expectancy of the quartz watch? General quartz watch short-term life of 5 years or so, and long-term life of up to 10-15 years or so. Watch the life of the watch and the maintenance of the specific circumstances of the watch are closely related, if the watch use and maintenance methods are correct, you can greatly increase the life of the watch. Short term life refers to the battery running out of power, coil parts short circuit and open circuit, quartz oscillator leakage, CMOS integrated circuit damage. Replaceable parts are resolved without affecting long life. How long is the life expectancy of quartz? Quartz electronic componen
