What do you think about the new models? L'Astronomo and new base models look fantastic IMO. Looking forward to read your opinions.

Really, really, REALLY ho-hum...After last year's excitement, I was hoping for more than been-there-done-that skeleton PAMs, more (& smaller) Due models and more snap-on caseback models with integrated bezels.

There is not a single model that grabs my attention. I would take any of last year's SIHH models over these....Consider last year's Lab-ID, BMG, 671, 721, 682, 684, 687, etc....with hindsight & especially in comparison to SIHH 2018, wow, last year was epic for Panerai.

Oh well, at least with Panerai, you know there will be more releases every month or two throughout the year.

polaris72 · 15 January 2018, 08:02 PM

Luminor Due and Luminor Logo - great new selection. Luminor Due has 38, 42, and 45mm models, and Luminor logo has 3 day manual wound new movement 6000. I will definitely consider the 906 model.

Snarltorialist · 15 January 2018, 08:42 PM

Underwhelmed.

Issue with the case of their NEW material??? Holy smokes that sounds laughable. I may just stay with my titanium 1305.

I wanted a blue dial so I picked up the E boutique submersible limited to 100 pieces to tide me over.

don't know how 'laughable' it is....better that they get it right before releasing it and having issues, cause that would be worse imho

the e boutique one did nothing for me, glad you like yours

It's laughable that they unveil a totally new material in watch making and talk about how great it is and a year later still don't have it ready for sale because there are issues with the very material that is supposed to be so awesome.

Apparently it's just me that sees this as silly.

Not a fan of any of these. Love last years 687 - that would be tough one to top.

Boring year for sure...

red1108nyc · 16 January 2018, 02:24 AM

Surprised. You usually see one model that is at minimum half decent but this year, nothing. Underwhelmed.

Preeble · 16 January 2018, 03:02 AM

If this is it, I am underwhelmed, but happy. Every year doesn't need to be a big splash with 'new' watches that are 95% the same as something from the past. I think Panerai needs to find itself and look toward the future. They need to grow their base and like it or not, the 'die hard' community is not as important as it was even 5 years ago. The need to attract new customers and to do that, perhaps some updating/change is necessary.

I also scratch my head at those that hiss at the 100m rating. This rating will be perfectly fine for 99% of the population. True divers would never wear a base PAM for diving purposes.

I am a fan of some of the new straps though - the grey canvas with blue stitching is neat.

nice review on your site but you miss those 2 very special dials radiomir 1940

Cru Jones · 16 January 2018, 06:27 AM

What's "interesting" (to put it kindly) is that there are more posts about Panerai and SIHH 2018 here at TRF than at p.com.... I think that's a very clear sign how much Panerai blew it this year. :-/

+1.

Sometimes "silence" is louder than words.

ap1 · 16 January 2018, 06:40 AM

Why skip 40 due - anyways, snore fest

Bushido · 16 January 2018, 06:56 AM

I'm really hoping Panerai has more up its sleeve to show us this week. Two high priced novelties, update to their Base models, and pushing more Due? This isn't it for SIHH is it?

Cru Jones · 16 January 2018, 08:48 AM

I wonder if this SIHH might be the real reason for Angelo Bonati's "retirement": Richemont saw what was coming last autumn and said, even if it was too late to change things for SIHH 2018, that "new blood and a new direction is needed ASAP".

nigelUK · 16 January 2018, 09:21 AM

Due's, Skeletons .. .

bore off

fullcourt · 16 January 2018, 10:16 AM

Cru there might be something there

Ruud Van Driver · 16 January 2018, 12:30 PM

Well, I'm loving L'Astronomo. If that's at a sensible price point, I'll be all over it like a shitty blanket

Define sensible.

That sucker won’t be sensible for 99.999%, though I do love it.

If it's one penny less than I have in my bank account, then it's 'sensible'
