As we all probably know, Panerai have a rekindled love for the Submersible and the range has been increased further with this new limited edition of 500 pieces. Personally I like it and the “military” colour choice makes sense for Panerai. I would have preferred it without the word Automatic on the
The Panerai Nautical Curvimeter PAM500 is a specialized instrument rather than a traditional wristwatch, designed for navigation and measurement. This particular reference is notable for its limited production and its connection to the "Slytech" line, indicated by the fourth line on its dial. It represents a unique offering within Panerai's historical instrument lineage, distinct from their more commonly known timepieces. Its purpose is to measure distances on maps, reflecting Panerai's heritage in precision tools.
This curvimeter features a substantial 42 mm case, crafted from wood and glass, housing a key-wound movement with an 8-day power reserve. The instrument's construction emphasizes its functional design, with a clear glass crystal protecting the dial. The robust build and specific measurement function underscore its utility as a navigational aid, aligning with Panerai's historical role in supplying instruments to the Italian Navy.
The PAM500 appeals to collectors interested in Panerai's broader history of precision instruments, beyond just wristwatches. Its rarity, coupled with the "Slytech" dial inscription, makes it a distinctive piece for those who appreciate the brand's less common offerings. The limited release, reportedly not reaching its full planned production of 500 units, further contributes to its collectibility and unique position within the Panerai catalog.
... if small for the Panerai standard. Regret it only available through internet purchase. Cheers! Abel
And i definitely do not like the “auto” words
playing with colours, who really cares WHAT you are...colouring? You'll always find 500-1000-1500 people in the WORLD that like the colour and will buy the "object" no matter what it is. That being said, I do like the olive green they have chosen for the entire..military line. As you all know, by now, I really don't like Subs...lollllllllll
I still think that Panerai is regaining some of its lost ground In terms of creativity.
I agree with you about the green that was chosen. It’s very similar to the shade that is on the PP Aquanaut. Can you elaborate on why you don’t like the Sub ?
in general, show offi-sh. Instruments for mucho-macho men to strut around in at happy hour time. They justified their useful diving instrument label in diving's early age. Since the appearance of the diving computer, they have become...fashionably....redundant IMO of course. Dive computer, yes. Diving watch, what for?
