It's nice to see Panerai using a bronze case
but the PAM382 isn't as unique to me as it to others here. There have been other brands in the past who used bronze such as the infamous Gerald Genta Gefica. Even Audemars Piguet used a bronze bezel n the Bartorelli Offshore a year ago.
The bronze case will definitely develop a beautiful patina over time. I need to see one in person to see if Panerai put a clear laquer over the bronze case. If Panerai didn't, then you'll see some green oxidation develop over time. I hope they did put a clear laquer over the bronze case because the green oxidation that develops on a bronze doesn't look too hygenic
Cheers,
Anthony
I concur!
