StormTooper4 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Having been a tad disappointed by the new 1940 Chronos ( I really don't like those new dials) I thought I'd look at a few other Chronos and I have just seen these Radiomir Cronografos I really like the look of them with their large Ferrari'esq crowns. But I can't find anything about them , does anyone know what they are and where they come from ? Cheers ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberscreamer Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Even seems to have the same exact lug design / case shape as the apparently later designs of the Ferrari watches. I would assume that these are the precursors to the Ferrari contracted chronos, but that is just a guess. Wonder if these actually were in production prior to the Scuderia or Granturismo's? On a side note, before I clicked on the link, I completely thought you were being facetious about the entire thing, lol. What's a Chronograph?

atomic_doug Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I like those Cronografo's much better than the Radiomir 1940 Chronographs. I think Panerai's going a little overboard with the faux patina thing. It's starting to look a little silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I dont even know if these are Panerai or Homages, no facetiousness honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbetts1790 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Those are custom made homages using the Ferrari style case, not actual Panerai prototypes or anything official. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalengkong Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I saw a new model on the SIHH 2014 for similar look. http://www.watchesbysjx.com/2014/01/sihh-2014-introducing-panerai-radiomir.html however, it used the same movement as Montblanc ???

south105323 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I did the first one, based on a Ferrari 024 rep. There are three or four out there with modified dials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpletiv Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Nice!!! So these are not actually being produced, they are all 'builds'? I need to look, are these Ferrari cases with Rad dials-what would be a parts list,may I ask? I may want to give this a try, I'm ambitious.

south105323 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 You need to get the handwind chrono Ferrari 024. Silix had them: http://www.silix-prime.so/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=115_138&products_id=2849 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
