Here’s another new one that will be officially unveiled by Panerai next week – the Panerai Luminor 1950 Chrono Monopulsante 8 Days Oro Rosa, or PAM 344 for all you Paneristi out there who prefer ref no.’s. This watch has a 44mm pink gold case and inside it has Panerai’s in-house P.2004 Caliber in it, a hand-wound movement. It will be limited production of just 150 pieces. Panerai is proud of the fact that this watch not only has an 8 ‐ days power reserve mechanical movement, “but is also a technically accurate single push ‐ piece chronograph” – a challenge that only a few brands have taken on, Panerai notes. I like the more traditional “circular” design of the power reserve meter on this watch, as opposed to the horizontal meter Panerai uses on some of its other models.
