Panerai Introduces the P.5000 Movement

Jul 18, 2013,07:32 AM
 

Officine Panerai is pleased to announce the release of the new P.5000 movement.  This hand-wound mechanical movement features an 8-day power reserve, visible through the sapphire crystal window set in the back, and has been completely developed and constructed in Officine Panerai's Neuchâtel manufacture.  The two new P.5000 timepieces – the PAM 510 Luminor Marina 8 Days – 44MM and the PAM 511 Luminor Marina 8 Days Oro Rosso – 44MM – feature the classic aesthetics of the Luminor Marina, notable for its minimalistic case and dial design.  

The 8-day power reserve has long been a part of the history of Officine Panerai. During the 1940s and early 1950s, Panerai introduced a manual, 8-day movement into their collections to meet the requirements of the commandos of the Italian Navy.  Today, the P.5000 movement represents the next step towards full in-house production for all Panerai timepieces while simultaneously introducing a more accessible price point for manual pieces to existing and new Panerai enthusiasts.

...if I recall, there is no PR indicator on the watch. Kind of strange in a manual-wound, 8-day watch, isn't it?

Actually yes you're correct. Weird not to have a PR indictator

on this 8 day manual wind. I'm sure a future P.5000 movement variant will have a PR indicator though but it does makes sense to have this feature on the base movement itself. Maybe a PR indicator on the back. Cheers, Anthony

I would prefer a PR on the back....

since the watch already has an exhibition's caseback. I've always believed the PR on the dial, has a defacing effect on Panerais. IMO Ciaoo

My thoughts exactly

Dont know why they would do that. Well they did with the 339 but got away with it because of the cool case. The P5001 will be like the P3001.

do not worry,

Panerai will see our comments and next year the 5000 calibre will have a PR on dial and other on the back, IMHO. A low demand for this model will help Panerai to implement this new serie. Just wait and see. Cheers, patrickh

Low demand?

I seriously doubt the p5000 steel model will be in low demand. For an 8 day power reserve watch, the list price is a mere , whilst the 111 with 40-48hr PR on an ETA-based calibre is already SGD7k+. There will be a long queue for this to buy the p5000 stee... 

I had chosen a 190 for JLC movement and its

8 days power reserve on back. Will see if you are right regarding this new model and its WW success. Obviously, it is just not my taste ;-(( Regards, Patrickh

Trying to read the market..

Amongst those paneristi in the know, i guess having a PR indicator matters. These are just the tip of the whole iceberg of those who wear pams. The trouble is (and a sad thing too), for most guys out there who are merely into the brand because it looks "m...
