Officine Panerai

I think this new 44mm stainless steel PAM590 Luminor Marina is going to be a huge hit, assuming it's not priced too high.  It features the P.5000 movement & the PAM203's "8 GIORNI BREVETTATO" at 3 o'clock.

The caseback is solid and will have an engraving of the human torpedo SLC aka the pig.

It will be available for the North America market.

now realy this 590 looks great without a doubt ..... but if i'd own a 203 i'd burst out in tears, it's like a 95% copy of it , something in which OP seems to be realy good the last years .......... come on !!! do they realy have to make such a ref. ??? no wonder some people are turning their back to the brand to be honnest.  I'd realy like to know with which intentions they are making these ......

When they released earlier this year the LE Radiomir 1940 chronos i was on the edge of getting one of those, but seeing this i think i'll decline , they'll probably throw in a copy of them next year in January even before they last ones are hitting the AD's, .....

For many (myself included), 44mm is much more wearable than 47.  Not sure about a solid caseback on this one, though.   I would have preferred a display back on a 44mm Luminor.

First, agree with Jed that it should've been a display caseback since it's an 8 days movement and you know......it is something more than an ETA to look out. Next, if these watches are referenced against the vintages (patina'd indices, 8 days logo etc) then they should've made every effort to dome the crystal ! 

Or the perception of diluting the brand, this watch hits every note for me. Yes please it is stunning. My only regret is it's only available through US boutiques I believe. Thank you for sharing and kindest regards,

The only redeaming quality of this piece, in my opinion of course, is the absence of further cluttering features on the dial, such as Black Seal...Power Reserve...date with cyclop etc hahaha

But how many will be issued?

This model it's not a Limited Edition. The only limitation is that, for the first year of production, it will only be distributed in the USA. How many? As many as Panerai will be able to...sell (which is a lot of pieces, I'm sure, in their expectations)

but I can dream big RIGHT.Love the 8 giorni brevettato on the dial.I wish they would include a sapphire back for the mvmnt thouh.
