Panerai PAM 368 Design Review 47MM Left Handed Model


Panerai Luminor PAM 368 
Design Review
47MM 1950 Left-Handed Model: 8 Days Titanio

Recently I was in Shreeve & Company in downtown San Francisco, and I was checking out some different Panerai watch models. I happened to check out the PAM 368 which is a Special Edition Panerai, limited to only 1000 individually numbered pieces, which were made in 2011. The PAM 368 is 47MM and it has a brown dial.



The PAM 368 uses the 1950 case and it's made out of titanium. The entire case and crown guard are brushed with a satin finish. The domed crystal is made out of synthetic sapphire crystal, and it has a manual wind movement with the 8 day power reserve. Some people prefer the 8 day movement because if they forget to wind it after a few days, it will keep going.



The PAM 368 has the classic art-deco style Panerai 1950 case, which has superb curves. The lug opening is 26mm, and the crystal is 2mm thick.



The PAM 368 comes with a Panerai antique brown (tobacco/dark chocolate) calfskin leather strap, paired with a Panerai Pre-Vendome titanium tang buckle.



I really like the curved Pre-V bottle opener style buckle, which gives it a really cool, clean, streamlined, modern look. I like this style way better than the flat, non-curved vintage buckles.
