Even if I don't like the new Arktos

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.

Electronic Depth Gauge???!

 
 By: Cpt.Crunch : May 19th, 2008-16:32
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 b... 

Panerai HAD to

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, Asi

Bingo, Bijo! [nt]
