The 2012 SIHH PuristSPro Live Report

Panerai

The Panerai booth exhibits the process of making a ceramic case...

This year Panerai came out with the new line that features the new shape - the Radiomir 1940, which pays homage to a period when the case evolved from the wire-lugs of the Radiomir to offer more support, but the crown did not yet have the crown-guard seen on the Luminor cases. You can think of it as a transition from Radiomir to Luminor.

Pam 00399 Radiomir 1940 in 47mm - Special edition

Pam 398 - the red gold (oro rosso) version of Radiomir 1940.

PAM 00448 : RADIOMIR CALIFORNIA 3 DAYS – 47MM (Special Edition LE to 500 pcs)

PAM 00449 : RADIOMIR S.L.C. 3 DAYS – 47MM (Special Edition LE to 500 pcs)

PAM 00441 : LUMINOR 1950 3 DAYS GMT AUTOMATIC CERAMICA – 44MM

PAM 00396 : LUMINOR 1950 TOURBILLON GMT CERAMICA – 48MM

PAM 00395 : RADIOMIR 8 DAYS GMT ORO ROSSO – 45MM

PAM 00438 : LUMINOR 1950 3 DAYS GMT AUTOMATIC CERAMICA – 44MM TUTTONERO (full ceramic case and bracelet)

Hope you have enjoyed the post.

Yours Truly,

Jon Z. (Z3)

Very nice live pics

Thanks! Is the 399 case the same as a 372 case except the crown is different? I hope panerai will update the production numbers on the 449.

i love the 1940 case

By: gcTIME : January 19th, 2012-05:15

it is imho the best panerai case as it blends the masculinity and modernity of the 1950 case with the elegance of the radiomir case. i always loved the radiomir case and crown except the lugs so this 1940 is perfect for me.

Thanks Jon.

Surely the 399 is an exceptional new model. The limited run will leave most disappointed, but I fully expect another version will follow in a year or two with the 3 day movement. The 449 is quite attractive as well.

The all-ceramic piece is cool

I like the non-glossy ceramic bracelet, but the text on the dial irritates me. It's a black case, do they need to remind me it's ceramic? a

Thank you for the live photos...

By: ocwatching : January 19th, 2012-08:45

nice to see them in the metal... love the 449...que up at the boutique time!

Thanks for the live pics, Z3. Did you happen to see the 439?

By: MosesL : January 19th, 2012-17:42

It's on panerai's website but no one at SIHH seems to have posted live pics of it yet....

Thanks for posting! The movement on the 395 looks mighty tasty.

By: BABKA : January 20th, 2012-00:31

And the new all ceramic on bracelet is a terrific addition to their lineup.

438

By: mikethw : January 25th, 2012-03:12

The 438 Ceramica looks the best out the the 2012 collection. Thanks for the wonderful pictures. Seem like Panerai really knows how to optimize the Cali dial with another 500 limited pieces.....sigh.
