A Big GMT For The Modifier At Heart

Of all watch makers, Panerai package their watches in the most understated box of all of them. 
The Panerai Luminor GMT 44mm is supplied in a simple light orange coloured wood box with a rigid felt like insert. This Luminor watch is supplied with a brown alligator strap with a steel deployant buckle and an additional black rubber strap. The watch is also packaged with a screwdriver to replace the strap yourself and a solid feeling .

The watch follows Panerai’s successful design recipe of a bold striking design in a large case, a simple uncluttered legible dial and a wide assortment of straps.
Searching on just Panerai’s site yielded 18 strap results with a deployant buckle, ranging from alligator in normal, shiny and antiqued varieties, canvas, and calfskin straps. As well as titanium and steel bracelets. In addition to this there are a mind-boggling 23 different Panerai buckles compatible with this watch. Constructed from: Titanium, Steel, Red Gold, Pink Gold, White Goldand Tantalum.
There are then further options to be made for the metals finish: they can bebrushed or polished and the steel options can have a DLC coating, or a blackPVD coating applied.
With so many flexible options that the wearer can decide from, the Panerai watch experience is a highly individual and customised one. An iconic watch can be worn with a versatile choice of straps that gives more options to the wearer without diluting the classic design of the watch.

The Panerai Luminor GMT [ref. PAM00088] has a wide-ish 44mm case diameter, excluding the crown and lugs. It would feel more at home on a guy’s wrist of normal to large proportions; as the solid stainless steel case weighs a fair bit, and the crown protrudes out of the casing by quite a lot. It features a solid case back and curved lugs that attempt to hug the wrist. A slightly cambered sapphire crystal sits on the face of the dial with an anti-reflective coating and a magnified date window at the 3 o’clock position. This being balanced on the opposing side of the dial by a silvered second counter, that contrasts well on the black dial.
Around the circumference of the dial are the 24-hour markers alternating between lines and Arabic characters for the GMT arrow-head hand to point to. Within them, are the hour markers and minute indicators in five-minute intervals. All the numbers are in a highly legible font that can be read easily from a distance or in limited light with the help of some luminescent fill.

The watch is powered by an automatic OP VIII calibre movement. Which is a certified chronometer by the COSC for excellent accuracy and alternates at 28,800 VpH with a 42-hour power reserve.
Ultimately this is a bold iconic watch that has a solid presence on the wrist, all the while maintaining a high level of customizability to the wearers taste.

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

Image
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
