Let us not forget the charming, albeit not really useful, 5 minute ratchet click (IWC, please look)
Yes, for those who do not know, early sub bezels clicked every 5 minutes, not every minute. I know it was A series and I think B. IWC, can you clarify C series for me? I believe D has 1 minute ratchets, I don't recall about C.
Panerai PAM 00024 A Submersible.
Remove the bloody date, and we are not far from excellence. Best, Nicolas ...
The "clean" bezel and T-swiss made-T dial of the C
are the same as the A and B models. It's also the last 24 with a clean bezel. The 24D has a graded one.
I don’t think they have ever introduced a no-date Submersible, which is unfortunate.
I don’t know the history of Panerai’s decision to introduce a Submersible line, but I always thought it interesting since Panerais are fundamentally dive watches to begin with. I’m assuming the decision came with their entry into the commercial / civilian...
Look in Nico's current 5218 post... someone leaked a photo of a coming no-date destro Submersible
I think it looks fantastic.
I must disagree with you there
I think it's already reached excellence just as it is! (I'm also a fan of the brushed bezel that came in later.) ...
The cyclops makes it
Without that it would just be an unnecessary date window messing up a simplistic Panerai dial. But the weird under-crystal cyclops ends up adding to the weird textured look of the watch in a way I'm enjoying. I think what I like about this actually comes ...
They have another hit in store
They just need to release the egiziano in 47 or 45 (smaller wouldn't be appropriate).
I miss mine
I had a very early tritium one like this that went with my other Panerai sadly. Truly superb watch. The date with its hidden cyclops is great, but I know we’ll have to agree to disagree.
