dluddy Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 From Risti: OFFICINE PANERAI PRESENTS THE MOVEMENTS P.9000 Innovation, a fine tradition in technical mastery and an ongoing commitment to the development of new models and movements which are increasingly functional and reliable: the 2009 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva marks an important turning point for Officine Panerai as it presents the new movements designed and made entirely in-house. Its the range of movements P.9000, whose three new calibres join the existing four. With the development of the P.9000, P.9001 and P.9002, Officine Panerai - originally a supplier of highly specialised watches to the Royal Italian Navy - made its name as one of the few international high-end watch makers which design the majority of their watch movement components in-house. This is an undertaking which Officine Panerai has completed in an incredibly short time. Few other watchmakers have succeeded in developing and making no fewer than eight of its own calibres - P.2002, P.2003, P.2004, P.2005, P.2006, P.9000, P.9001 and P.9002 - fully operational and available in just seven years, with the design for the first calibre dating back to 2002. The new movements: general specifications The new P.9000 calibre is available in three versions P.9000, P.9001, P.9002 fitted with different functions, but they have in common automatic winding with a power reserve of 3 days and a special technical design which makes these movements immediately recognisable. The new P.9000 calibre has a diameter of 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Sweeet.....I give it 2 months before they are repped (based on the pics of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 D- Thanks for the info. Interesting that their next generation movements are 13 ligne, two-barrel, 72 hour power reserve. I will be curious to see how these are priced - in-between their 8 day versions and ETA's or similar to the 8 days. We are already seeing the 8 days with $13,000 plus list prices selling in the secondary market for $8-9k. They are also clearly doubling down on the mini-fiddy 212/253 type case. And also the predominance of ti. For better or worse Panerai is growing up. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of new watches which will be properly rep'able given the preponderance of clear casebacks. But I suspect those ETA based special editions will be out in no time. Can you believe they are redoing the 28? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, glad that I am not too enamored with any of them Guess they decided to do an in-house movement 028...I like mine better Look forward to catching a shot of the movements....haven't seen one yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HaloArchive Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Date window is easier now. Look at no-cyclops/how the gen's date is kinda crooked in the window. Leaves lots of room for error H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Man oh man... can't believe they're resurrecting the 28. That 332 is great looking though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishgodeep Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Cheers D...great read and thanks for sharing ....I'm really liking the 331 and 326 ...could be the nicest daylight yet ?? FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingrick Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Old is gold. The old 28 appeal to me so much more the the new 28 and last years 26. Not liking the other new stuff at all, probably because I have never been a fan of the 1950 style cases and sandwich dials. But they do deserve credit for there achievements on the new inhouse movements they have produced and the creativity for creating all these new models.

keeter Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Anyone else think the 28 would look even better without the date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 The 320 GMT is really nice and basic. Something about it... The 332 is sexier than a 5K an hour Las Vagas wh*re... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babola Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Bonnati's echelon loosing a plot...slowly but steadily. Some interesting ideas, but most of it is jut one big yawn. I'm sure others will disagree, but this is how I feel about direction Panerai's taken since last year's SIHH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guinea Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm a bit annoyed. I just purchased a gen 111. I wanted a Luminor Marina model with a date, but hated the bubble. I got the best looking watch, but I keep looking for the date. Now, after I have splashed the cash they make the perfect watch for me. Argh.

promotersf Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Love the 332...I've seen some great deals on gen 212s on Timezone and thought about possibly DCLing it but...not ready to pull the trigger. I think I like the older 28 better, but it's still a beaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docblackrock Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 That DLC'd 332 is the stand-out by far. The rest just make me shrug and go 'pfff, whatever'. But once again, whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.......and in this case they've succeeded. They made it a frickin' Ratty instead of Flyback! Why oh why? I have it on very good authority that a lot of 213 Ratty's have been in and out of the OP service shop over the last few years, fairly unreliable movement the OPXVIII considering it's only a couple of extra gears and an additional second hand difference from the sturdy XIX-powered 212. Such little things matter though. Of course, now there's sadly little likelihood of seeing an accurate rep (would be fantasy, not something the makers are keen on these days), whereas if it were a flyback, then *bingo* a 7750 and we'd be laughing. But you know, I think this one is a special case for a rep project.....would love to see a 7750-based 'Flyback' but with Rattrapante dial and a faux extra second hand and case pusher. Faux, you say? Yes I do. The DLC process as we saw with the Blacksteel would set this off a treat - interesting they're using DLC now as opposed to their 'ceramic' PVD. I'm going to petition this one after CNY, about time my PAM love was rekindled. If not, then you know what? Bugger it. Time to spring for the gen. Held off on the 233 last year after the massive price hike throughout the industry, but this one, mmmmmm. Tough decisions lie ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawo Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Daylight will be in strong consideration for my next gen purchase. Thanks for the post. Nice Job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I dont like as well the direction Panerai is heading BUT that was obvious from last year.. in house automatic movements will be their base.. I am Sooooo glad I got the 118 when i had the chance. Nevertheless there are some interesting watches this year.. Well we ALL LOVED the design of the 332 but as doc said with this unstable movement.. a no no!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well we ALL LOVED the design of the 332 but as doc said with this unstable movement.. a no no!! Well I tell you unless I get reassurances that they've tweaked the XVIII to solve the problems they've had with it, then I won't be going near it, gorgeous piece that the 332 is. You'd like to think they'd look to improve QC where possible given their focus on in-house movements. Talking of that direction, whilst they've moved forward in terms of proprietary movements, I think for the most part they've moved backwards in terms of design.
