Shall I just say it? Ok, the PAM376 is in my ideas and opinions one of the most exquisite Panerai view actually made. Not one of the most exquisite Radiomir, no, one of the most exquisite Panerai view actually made. There, I stated it. That was my very first impression when I took these images in Geneva in January this year, and I nevertheless really feel this way today.

I have by no signifies been much more astonished by how amazing a view felt and looked in person. I possess an issue for the California dial, to make certain that allows of course. however the mixture within of the brown Cali dial, the creamy/beige Luminova as well as the gold double pencil arms is just jaw dropping. And its plexi does include to its appears no doubt.

Of instruction course there’s a downside too, or for me at least. The 47mm circumstance within of the 376 is reliable bright gold (oro bianco) which would allow it to be considered a astonishingly expensive watch. The approximate report retailing price in January 2011 was a whopping 27,800 USD – it may properly have altered by now but it’s unlikely that it has turn out to be much less expensive. It’s most probably worth it but its retailing price does place it out within of the assortment of the great majority of us Panerai enthusiasts. within one other hand, the very first specific edition Radiomir PAM21 with platinum circumstance is presently for selling on watches24seven.com for 220,000 USD – so maybe that puts stuff into viewpoint again. Or maybe not.

The Radiomir Oro Bianco is really a specific edition watch. It will designed in 2011 only. I’m informed how the producing amount may be altered to 501 units. The 376 has the in-house Panerai P.3000 movement. that is really a brand name new hand-wound mechanised movements that was released this year. The movements features a energy reserve of three days.

The view arrives possessing a dark crocodile strap as well as a bright gold thumbnail buckle. A brown strap would have designed merely a tiny touch much more impression to me however the strap is genuinely great nonetheless.
Finally, here’s a photo within of the genuine vintage Radiomir 3646 on which the dials within of the brand new 376 as well as the 249 and 262 (platinum) are based.
