So what exactly is this watch? Looking at the pictures, it looks like your typical luminor style case but with a slightly brown tone case and watch. Panerai decided to follow up on one of their most popular products last year (the PAM339) with this little gem this year. The 339 was the radiomir version (seen below), which is a slightly different case without the crown guard but the watch carries over some of the design elements onto the new watch.
Don't ask me what composite means because in reality I have literally no idea, but since it is a "composite", I am willing to guess that it is a blend of ceramic with some other metal most likely being steel. The case measures in at 44mm and has that old school dirty desert type feel. The face is extremely clean with a basic second hand function at 9 o clock and a date at 3 o clock. The watch will carry Panerai's in house caliber P.2000 movement with a display back, so it will carry a premium over a basic second and date luminor. Price estimates should be around $10,000-$11,000 upon release.
For you Panerai bandwagoners, this may be the perfect watch for you. Check it out a bit more in detail if you wish. It is an eye catcher to say the least.
