Panerai 2014 collection PAM 785: An air of Pre Vendome.
Oct 01, 2014,10:34 AM
Panerai surprised me a lot, in a positive way, this year.
After the Radiomir 1940 Marina Militare, here is another delicious surprise, the PAM 785, which is not one Watch ,but a set of rwo watches, which will mean a lot for the old school guys, as we have here, nothing else and nothing more than the modern iteration of two well known watches, the Day Light and the Black Seal, which were called, in 1996 Slytech.
The Daylight Slytech:
With its special box:
The Black Seal Slytech, which came in the small pre vendome wooden box:
We have to precise that the Black Seal Slytech never came in production. It was olny a prototype which never came to production because the Watch was delivered after Panerai was bought by Vendôme in March 1997.
The case in in stainless steel, 44 mm big, and, for the Black Seal, receives a DLC finish.
Exit the ETA movement, welcome ( by all meanings!) the 8 Days movement Cal P 5000.
These 2 watches cannot be bought separately. You have to buy the set. Which is limited to 500 pièces.
Maybe do you want to see them?
Here is the press file I just received:
The Black Seal:
The Daylight:
You will notice that the big box differs a bit from the original, but the spirit is here....
Back in the good old days?
Best,
Nicolas
