No, its not the bronzo (well, I wish it was...smiling smiley)

Its the PAM390, a special edition available only via the boutiques. Limited to 2000 pieces. Thanks to the SG boutique for making this happened. The PAM390 is one of the watches that I really liike.

So what's so special about the PAM390? From my point of view, it has :
- brown dial
- gold hands
- base model (yes!)
- new look of the dial that is similar to the PAM372 (so on valentine's day, my wife can wear the PAM390 and I can wear my PAM372..winking smiley )
- nice case back with SLC

Here are some pics...

Standard wrist shot. The Assolutamente strap that comes with the PAM390 is just perfect for me. Matches the watch perfectly! :

The perfect Base. I love the gold hands on this model
In combination with the non sandwich dial it gives a very cool effect.
It's amazing what these hands do with a model we know so well.

Agreed.

A perfect Base indeed - the brown dial and gold hands combo is just perfect..smiling smiley
Gold hands tend to give the watch a more vintage look.

Cheers!

I would love a Bronzo as well but a Lum Tec M53 on order will have to suffice!
Nice alternative

The Lum Tec M53 is a nice alternative to the Bronzo.
With the current craze in bronze watches, hopefully Panerai will release new bronze models in next SIHH. smiling smiley
