Hello,

The man, the endeavor, the boat, and the sponsors are all very amazing!!

The boat is certainly a one of a kind.
I like the marconi style rigging with the angled spreaders. Built for mean weather!!
The cabin and cockpit also looks like it is certainly designed for all types of conditions.

Wishing Mike Horn and all parties involved a huge success!!

Thanks again,
Jonathan

I always thought the Pangea Expedition already started sometime last year but guess I was wrong :P  I hope Panerai has another Mike Horn event like his last expedition because that event was simply amazing and one of the most memorable events I've ever been to.

Wishing Mike Horn a successful and safe journey!

Cheers,
Anthony

M.HORN and Panerai is a long story which began in 2001 or 2002, when M.HORN used for one of his expeditions a Pam 92.

This watch a nice watch worn by a nice guy ( I had the chance to meet him in Paris ), with a strange story.

The Pam 92 he wore burnt during the expedition!

Another detail, the Pam 92 for M.HORN came first with a bezel like the compass, and after with the bezel we all know, and a tritium dial.

The LE was delayed , and finally launched in 2004 instead of 2002, with a L dial.

And presented by Panerai like the watch worn by M.HORN...

Some months later, came a GMT Arktos, Pam 186 if I'm correct, and presented like the real watch worn by M.Horn...

And a year later, a new Arktos came, the " North Pole ", which is basically a Pam 186, but with a blue dial, for another M.Horn expedition.

Now, this year, we have the last M.Hron panerai watch, for his new expedition.

Finally, this watch is a range in itself.

Thanks for this report, SJX!
Best.

thanks for the report, nice to read it. ;0)

The Depth Guage must look great on your wrist....same as your 194 old time sake.

Cheers

It's because of the mix of an elecrtonic and a mechanical solution, as the Depht Gauge woks with a battery.

I understand that it was the only solution ot get some official authorisations, but I much prefer the whole mechanical JLC Depht Gauge.

I aslo have to say that the esthetic of the Panerai Depht Gauge is not my cup of tea.

But..To each its own...

Best.

I`ve always admire Mike Horn on his expeditions and his family for supporting him..  

Great to see him in person.

Wishing him a smooth and successful journey.

Cheers,

 

I hope to see this pam soon, as from last years production i have not seen any in real life.

Awesome

Best,

Interesting about the Depth Gauge, I think it's a bit of a shame really and shows something of a submission on Panerai's behalf, especially given that JLC had already done the whole mechanical thing, BUT in my opinion, the Favre Leuba Bathy V2 will blow both of these out the water (excuse the pun!)

Nice Yatch though!

use electronics in order to have it certified as a depth meter, and the watch as a tool. JLC's is more of a mechanical technological achievement, but not accurate and thus no certification.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer JLC's.

Cheers,
