The Comparison of Panerai Contemporary and Historic Watches

Panerai watches are elegant, classical and beautiful. For me, I think the diving watch from Panerai is a little more elegant than Rolex, Tag Heuer or Seconda.

As we all known, Officine Panerai was founded by Giovanni Panerai in 1860 in Florence. Panerai watches have been famous for high quality watches since its foundation. Panerai initially produced watch for Italian Navy. It gained a high reputation and was the supplier of the Radiomir wrist watch to the navy of Italy in 1990.

Historic Collection of Panerai

Some Panerai buyers may be confused with the name Panerai Historic Collection. Actually, Historic collection doesn't refer to those old models introduced many many years ago. They are also quite contemporary in style. On Panerai official website, we can see that Historic collection includes Luminor Base, Luminor Marina, Radiomir, Luminor 1950 3 Days, Radiomir 8 Days and Luminor 1950 8 Days GMT. These watches have hand made mechanical aspects, power reserve 56 hours, a stainless steel case and bezel.

Panerai Historic watches are all with a rugged construction and water resistant up to 300 meters. They feature a transparent case back. You can see the inner craftsmanship of the watch through sapphire crystal. Every Panerai Historic watch is teamed with either a leather or an alligator strap.

Contemporary Collection of Panerai

Panerai Contemporary Collection is really stunning and amazing. For me, the Luminor Marina Automatic is the most outstanding watch model. It represents in steel or titanium case. The Panerai Contemporary collection offers 42 hours power reserve less than the Historic watches. And the case back is not transparent without sapphire crystal glass. However, they share the same second hands at 9 o clock. The date window of Panerai Contemporary Collection is round rather than the usual rectangle.

All Panerai watches come with a lockdown winding crown arm, which is athe distinctive trademark of the Panerai company. As for quality of these replica watches, undoubtedly, they are the best ones in whole haute horology field.
