The Egiziano is a big HIT

I can say it, this re edition of the Vintage Egiziano is a big hit!

Here, the Vintage model:



This is indeed a very faithful work from Panerai.

All is respected and with the exception of the golden hands which don't figure on this re edition ( but it may be different when Panerai will release it, as they did it with the 232, for example ), I can truely say that I love a lot this watch.

Panerai opted for a titanium case, which is wise, as the watch, which is 60mm big, and I'd say around 25 / 30 mm thick, would be too heavy in SS.

The layout of the dial is superb, with the Luminova Vintage tinted, and these writings which respect the original.

And the specific bezel for this model is also stunning, with these scarce indexes.







The sapphire adds to the impressive thickness of this Diving Watch.

Here you can see, better than only reading numbers, that the thickness is really important:



And a solid case back hides the P 2002 manual wound movement, with 8 Days of power reserve, exactly like in the original ( which was " motorized by the Angelus movement ).



The only question is to know if a lot of people will jump on this LE of 300 pieces, due to its important dimensions.

Let's say that this watch is unwearable, even for big wrists, and it is even more problematic because of the long lugs.





But, in the same time, this is really a bog bad boy, and a very tempting one!

If some of you already have the 127, the Cali, and the Compass, I think that this Egiziano is a must have.

It is indeed difficult to miss the opportunity to get one of these historical re editions...

Except if you bet on the fact that Panerai will release a smaller version of this Egiziano, with the same case, dial, and case back, but in 47mm...

Only Panerai knows.

Enjoy!

Best.
