Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days,42mm Watches Hands-On




Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days ，42mm Watches ,  steel and gold.


Last week, as I scanned a collection of large and larger new Panerai watches , I was thrilled to see this comparatively miniature marvel, the new 42mm Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic watch in both steel and gold.









Reference PAM00682, aka the Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Acciaio 42mm, takes all of the burly appeal of the 47mm Submersible and trims off a whopping 5mm. For me, and I think for many others who may be "benched" Panerai fans, that 5mm makes a world of difference. This is not the first 42mm Panerai, but it is the first 42mm Submersible, and it opens up the line to a wider (possibly underserved) audience. The Submersible is not Panerai's bread and butter, but rather their more niche dive watch, making the choice to go 42mm even more interesting. Perhaps this is a test? A way of gauging the actual response for a smaller sporty Panerai?









Available in steel (the aforementioned PAM00682) or rose gold (the PAM00684), the steel version has a brushed steel bezel. The usual Panerai Luminor crown guard is in place, water resistance is 300m for the steel and 100m for the rose gold, and either model comes fitted to a 22mm black  rubber strap.


Safely housed inside its chunky case, we find Panerai's P.9010 movement. This automatic 4Hz movement sports twin barrels to provide 72 hours of power reserve. Being a base Submersible, the P.9010 needs only offer hours, minutes, sub-seconds at nine, and a date display at three. The case back is of the display variety, allowing a view of the manufacture movement within.




On my seven-inch wrist, the 42mm Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic feels great. It's fun, special, and a dead-on translation of the form into a smaller footprint. The rubber strap is excellent and legibility is, obviously, very good. I especially enjoy the small pop of blue provided by the sub-seconds hand on the steel Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic PAM682. If gold is more your thing, it's hard to beat the contrast of the gold case alongside the combo of the black dial and ceramic bezel. The lugs are drilled and use screws to mount the strap, so leather or a NATO should be of little difficulty.



As niche as the Panerai Luminor Submersible may be, I can't decide if these 42mm models are more niche (as they may upset the already satiated Submersible crowd) or less niche (as they connect the Submersible to a new, wider audience). In considering both sides of that argument, I came to the conclusion that I don't really care. I just know that I really love this little Sub.

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
