The Breitling Watch Blog

Mays-Berlin is an outstanding German strapmaker that I just reviewed a couple straps from, and they also offered a 10% off coupon code (Use coupon code ‘paneraisource’ at checkout on their website) that is good on every vintage strap on their site! Its a great opportunity to try out their stuff and if you check out my review of Mays-Berlin, I think you’ll see that they are indeed a fantastic value and truly superb strapmaker.

As you can see their straps are pretty incredible.. fantastic vintage reproduction pieces here.

Forgot to post up this link to my last Video review on Youtube of the Dievas 3646 Panerai Homage Watch. Its a great watch and I think a superb choice if you’re in the market for a quality homage and want something from a legitimate Watch Company as opposed to an artisan craftsman. Dievas does a great job here, and price is still reasonable.

Finally got a chance to post up my review for the Panerai Radiomir Chronograph PAM 288 that I picked up a while back. I know I posted a written review but its always good to have the video to see how it really looks and feels in the hands. Still loving this watch, with its somewhat more detailed dial and thicker rugged Radiomir good looks.

Panerai has released four special editions for 2015 in SIHH. This is less than previous years, especially in 2010-2012, when it was normal for Panerai to release 8-10 new special editions in a year, but who knows.. the year is young so we could see some more! One this is for sure though, the big watch trend at Panerai is in full-swing. Nothing smaller than 47mm this year.

A couple of interesting pieces, with the most interesting Panerai released this year not even a special edition.. but rather the Carbotech Submersible posted earlier. Check out this year’s Special Editions:

Radiomir 1940 Equation Of Time 8 Days Acciaio PAM 516

Unique Edition of 200 Watches.

Luminor 1950 Equation Of Time 8 Days Acciaio PAM 601

Unique Edition of 100 Watches.

Mare Nostrum Titanio PAM 603

Unique Edition of 300 Watches.

Radiomir Firenze 3 Days Acciaio PAM 604

Unique Edition of 99 Watches.

The new Submersible line from Panerai released at SIHH 2015 yesterday is looking pretty awesome!!! I particularly like the Carbotech case, nothing like Carbon Fiber composite for a watch case. Really digging them! Click on the images below for more info on the models.
