Officine Panerai

I like to know which PAMs has Lemania movement. I only know of 192, is there any others?

Thanks

Pam 67 " Zerograph ": Lemania CHT 15.

Pam 189 Luminor Chrono WG in 40mm.

Pam 192 Chrono Tantalium.

Pam 215, Luminor Chrono in SS, 40mm.

And that's all, I believe...

Best.

Nicolas

I just double checked on Panerai.com , this site showed Pam189/192/215 are all using inhouse movement. Is there a mistake on the offical site?

regards

 

Few points worth noting:  Until 2005, there is NO Panerai in house movement.  Technically all movements PRIOR were externally sourced.   All these externally sourced movements, are subject to various degree of refinishing and re-assembly and then labeled with various in house codenames like OP XVI.   There are, however, few models, which were marketed with their 'original' movements.  These are mostly movements from new old stock or very limited supply.   I believe Vendome Panerai made a few of these models during the early days to spark interest from serious collectors and have successfully done so .    

 

So I believe OP XVI is indeed based on Lemania movement although highly refinished/personalized by Panerai.

Panerai just relabelled the Lemania movement to OP XVI, thanks.

I'm curious Nicolas, there are a few different movements used in post-V watches other than ETA (and Rolex in PAM21), ie JLC, Minerva, Lemania and I think even Frederic Piguet. In your opinion, are there any marked differences, in relation to each other and the Panerai models that house them?

RE: "I'm curious Nicolas, there are a few different movements used in post-V watches other than ETA (and Rolex in PAM21), ie JLC, Minerva, Lemania"

Hi,

GP 59 is in fact an AS 5008 calibre, not a manufacture GP calibre!

This calibre is now produced by LaJoux-Perret (formerly Jaquet).

Cheers

Jerome,
I was told that it is in fact a GP movement that is just using Jaquet 5900 'alarm module'.
Please let me know if you know otherwise.
