Novelty of this year is the Radomir 1940 Chronograph.

The watch is released in three versions Platinum PAM00518, Red gold PAM00519 and White gold PAM00520.

Platinum PAM00518

Red gold PAM00519

White gold PAM00520

Inside is the manual Panerai OP XXV caliber. Nicely decorated, Swan’s neck regulator and a power reserve of 55 hours.

So, which one would be your choice?

Personally I have a preference for the White gold version…

Key Points from the Discussion

The white gold version with a black dial is a popular choice, with one collector having it on order, preferring it over the rose gold for its distinct color combination.
The platinum PAM00518, despite its busy dial, is considered incredibly terse and desirable, though its limited availability makes it hard to acquire.
The watches are described as sublime when worn, with wrist shots provided to illustrate their presence.
Anticipation for future Panerai releases, particularly at SIHH, is high, with collectors hoping for new exciting models.
Another collector mentions picking up a PAM 587, indicating ongoing interest in other Panerai novelties.

last week, the 518 (white dial/platinum) would be my....poison. I find one of the "busiest" dials in the Panerai production, incredibly..terse. Luckily for me, it's already sold out, otherwise I would have had to let go of one of my...kidneys, to buy one :-) Ciaoooooooooo

black dial .... mine is on order, and i just can't wait to put it on my wrist ;) i did like the rose gold also but since i own a pam 289 i found it to close to be the same color combo (rose gold en brown dial) i was not such a fan of the platinum version to be honnest, not enough contrast dial vs hands, .... it would have made a chance if the dial had a more creamy colour instead of more white, and i'd kill if it had a blue dial in combo with the platinum ..... helas or maybe Lucky if you see th

I really love the red gold, but I prefer the dial in the white gold.
