the above is said with all due respect -- both sides look great 👍 wristshot comparison available?

The one i like best is your green dial version to be honest!

That green dial in the initial bigger case is just outstanding. The 507 is nice too as it has the green dial and the same case . I prefer the simpler dial though if the 382. the 382 is just hard to get to a fair prize. And this prize is still kind of High. I was lucky to found one. If u really looking for a nice Bronzo diver toolwach dive more into the Corrigia01. I am really happy with it and enjoy wearing it. Having a 382 the mark and concurrence is quite high . But it well lines up into my collection why is great.
The vintage black dial is one of the nicest dial out there. Only The dial of the 1080 is going in a similar direction with its brownish-greyish look. This kind of faded out dial like a vintage watch. All other dials are either black , white , Tabacco, cappuccino, green; blue whatever …

Nothing special compared to a bronzo of course, but there was just something right about it on the wrist!

The watch and the whole story of it has at least all the ingredients to become one. Just to mention one fact: corrigia cannot get any more movements for the watch from Eterna. So it won’t be the planned 50 piece with this exact configuration. And because of that he will focus now more on new steal and dlc version. Those will get a More narrow bezel.

In my opinion, Panerai's design influences cannot be overlooked. But the result is independent and very impressive.

Many congrats, dear Ahoi

P.S.: And now, let the strap games on this Corrida be started. Director and Producer: Ahoi. 😎

The initial idea according to Corrigia was to have a watch with whom he could quickly change his 5,5-6mm thick straps. Therefore the distance in between the case and the end of the lug is a few mm longer compared to a panerai. Than of course is gotta be a divers watch. Therefore a protection of the crown. There are many other brands who have a crown protection eg. Omega 😉 Than a watch out of bronze with the maximal amount of bronze to enjoy the patina. Therefore you have wider bezel….

They might look somehow similar but to me they are actually pretty different on mine point of view.
At the end people will say that all my panerai watches look the same - lol - and i will deny 😂😂😂 …

I am very intrigued and already visited their website.

My only watch with a Bronze case is the Oris Brashear.

So this might be another reason because except your Panerai 382 in Bronze and the 507 (with the PR on the dial), which are not easy to get for a reasonable price, I am no fan of the other models, especially not of the “dirty” looking 968.

Is the wearing comfort of the Corrida comparable with Panerai? 47 mm Panerai cases are no problem for me (although I have a 16,5 to 17 cm wrist).

And the over all quality is good (since it is their first attempt)?

I cannot say If it’s more heavy or not. I consider the quality to quite high. The designer of it is quite picky and a perfectionist. This gives me confidence.

The movement is less noisy than the one of the 382 and was produced by a company with many years of experience. the dial is produced by Schätzle which are producing the dials for Rolex too. They said it’s their most expensive dial due to the painted Lume . Time will tell, if the watch will get some kids deceases. Corrigia gives a lifetime warranty to fix issues. So am quite relaxed.

I really like that beastie look and enjoy wearing it. That’s the most important thing to me …
