Today, I'll be taking a look at the Panerai Luminor GMT. This one, the reference number PAM 1535, P-A-M-0-1-5-3-5. It's a 42-millimeter case size, and quite an interesting watch in its own right. So, I'll be going over all of the aspects of this watch, the case, the bezel, the dial, the crown functions, as well as the movement. The leather strap here, although more of like a suede strap, well, it is a suede strap, but the leather strap here. I'll be going over all the features and functions of this watch. So, starting off with the case, we have 42 millimeters, that's from the two to eight o'clock position. So that's sort of like this diagonal direction that you would measure. Also, from the 10 to 4, it's the same distance, same 42 millimeters. You have, overall, a nice stainless steel, high polish to the entire casing here, including the very front and on the sides. Now, even on the lugs, it's all high polish. Gives it quite an interesting look, not something you'd see very frequently from Panerai, at least in my experience. I'm more used to seeing satin-brushed finishing, gives it a more diffuse coloration, so you can see all of the steel here. But, the high polish gives a very interesting look, very mirror-like finish, sort of modern in that sort of look. Same finish that you'd see on the bezel here, all stainless steel as well, and also high polish. So, it fits in quite nicely, gives it that sort of glowy look around the dial, as you can see there. And taking a look here at the dial itself, also gives it an interesting high contrast there, at least in lit situations. The dial has, I believe, it's a hobnail black dial color. Black with Paris hobnails with Arabic numerals and index hours here. Well, Arabic numerals are at 12 and 6 index markers for the rest of the hours here. And now, if I turn out the lights here, you can actually see that there's a full luminescence to basically everything that you need to be illuminated. The hour, minute hands shining the brightest, of course, with that small seconds also illuminated, and the GMT hand pointing at just after the four o'clock position. And, basically, all the rest of it, nicely illuminated. Now, here you don't have these sandwich dials. So, that sort of gives the hour markers themselves a little bit of a dimmer sort of appearance, so that you can very easily read the time. I believe that's the reasoning there. If anyone has a real reason, you can leave it down in the comments below. But anyway, the hands themselves also made such that they do not rust. I believe, they're all, as well, polished steel perhaps. I'm not entirely sure about the chemical composition of the hands themselves. I wanna say that they're white gold to prevent tarnishing over time. But, if I'm wrong about that, leave it down in the comments below. The hobnail surfacing here gives it a very interesting texture of very modern in its presentation, almost like a waffle, actually, but gives it quite an interesting texture that, I believe, really sort of hammers home the idea of modernity and just sort of that industrial feel that you get from a modern civilization or modern look. The small seconds hand, also a nice tint of blue around it to give it a nice sort of contrasting color versus the orange looks of the Arabic numerals and the hours on this dial. The date window also, nice and small at the three o'clock position, doesn't occupy the entire hour there. So, pretty good. You can still see that three o'clock illuminated. The background for the date, black with the date, sort of that orangy color to really fit in with the overall color scheme of this watch. The crown guard, very recognizable. If you saw this just by itself, you'd know that it's a Panerai because they're the only ones who really do this gigantic crown guard and for very good security reasons. Because if you ever need to change any functionality of this watch, you'll have to open the lever first. You can't wear this while the lever is open because, well, the lever will be stabbing you in the hand. So, anyway, onto the basic functionality of this watch. You can wind the crown of the three o'clock position if you open up the lever. Doing so, just requires maybe 20 to 30 full winds to get to the full power reserve. And, by the way, you can actually see the power reserve on the back of the watch, on the movement itself, so as I spin that winding crown, the reference will be that arrow next to days pointing to however many days of power reserve you have on this watch. And as I continue to wind it, you can see that it slowly ticks up over time. It's hard to keep it absolutely still, but that's basically how that works. So you can actually see the full power reserve of this watch as long as you have it off, and you can still wind it nice and easy. All right. So, enough of that. Basically, continuing on to the functionality of the crown here, you can pull out to the next position. Doing so, engages sort of that GMT functionality in which you can just adjust the hour hand with no change to the minute or even the seconds. So, if you're traveling, you can set the correct local time nice and properly. All right, and pull the crown out to the final position. Take a look at this. It resets that seconds hand and freezes it at the zero position and, doing so, allows you to set the GMT hand, as well as the hour hand. So, you can set this to a reference time. It'll be either AM or PM, depending on however you set that GMT hand. It's a 12-hour GMT hand, so you have a second time zone reference there. All right, once you have the time set nice and precise, well, it's harder to set nice and precise with this because there are no index marks for the minutes and seconds. So, basically, you'll have to either use your intuition or just ballpark it, or you can set it precisely to a five-minute marker, say, five minutes after the hour and press the lever back in. Close it to ensure the water resistance of this watch, which, by the way, is a hundred meters or 330 feet below sea level. So, you can definitely take this to the local pool or the pool in your house, and it'll be just fine. No deep diving, surface soil will definitely, always wash your hands. All right, and basically, what makes all this work on the inside, the movement I showed you a little bit earlier, the P-9-0-11, P9011 caliber, printed right there on the movement itself, gives you the 13 and 3/4 ligne, six millimeters thick, 31 jewels with the Glucydur balance, and the Incabloc anti-shock. Basically means that you can get relatively close to magnets and circuitry, and take a few physical bumps here and there and it won't make any effect on the time-keeping ability of this watch. You also have a three-day power reserve distributed across two barrels. So you can't see the barrels here, but the three-day power reserve, you can see indicated directly on that movement, as I showed earlier. All right. 239 total parts, 31 of them jewels. Again, 28,800 vibrations per hour. So you do get a very accurate and smooth movement of that seconds hand on the dial. As shown here, it's a very, very nice and clean sweep of that seconds hand. All right. The functionality gives you the hours, minutes, small seconds, with the date, the GMT hand as well, the power reserve indicator on the back and what they call these seconds reset. Again, I demonstrated all of that using the winding crown alone. All right, so the power reserve itself, up to three days, 72 hours. That basically means you can set it down on a Friday evening, pick it back up Monday morning, ready to get into business. And you can just put it on your wrist, just wear it all day Monday and you're back to the full. Well, you'll be back to pretty much close to full, if not actually full power reserve. Because the natural movements of your wrist keep that winding rotor spinning, which actually charges the mainstream barrel, or the mainstream barrels, and powers the watch itself. So the natural movements of your wrist will wind the watch. You don't need to pull out the crown every single time or open the lever and then rotate the crown every single time to wind the watch, assuming that you wear the watch on your wrist. Now, while I'm zoomed out here, you can see that the strap here is what they call the scamosciato strap here. It's basically a suede strap with the nice ecru stitching, and the website says it's brown. I actually kind of believe that even though, I'm looking at my monitor in here, it looks green. And I think that's due to the patination of the suede here because the brown, by the way, if you know anything about color theory, brown is actually just a really dark yellow. So, having just a little bit of extra color on the cooler end of yellow, actually turns it a little bit green. So, it seems green here but it's actually brown. If you look at it under sunlight, for example, or just the right kind of light, it actually is a camo shadow brown. Incredibly smooth and soft on the outside. Feels very good on the wrist, and looks excellent as well, sizing holes as well. Minder loops on the 12 o'clock side with the steel Panerai pin buckle there. All right, and I'll try it on my wrist, so you can see how it looks, at least, on a seven-inch wrist. All right, so, for me, I will use the second sizing hole for me, just because it's a little bit on the larger end and with the 44 or 42, sorry, millimeter case size, it is on the bigger side of things. Not something I would wear typically, at least on a day to day basis, unless I am going for the size. The absolute girthiness of this watch, incredibly thick and gigantic. I believe, let me see here, I don't have the thickness of this watch. If anyone knows the thickness, you can leave it down in the comments below. Very, very thick watch here. Definitely won't slide under a suit cuff but will slide under a jacket sleeve, no problem. Not that that's ever been an issue for me. But, overall, the sort of risk presence, as they call it, the gigantic size of this watch, well, that's what you get from Panerai. If you buy a Panerai, that's what you get. It's a gigantic, but easy to read, almost sort of borderline on a pilot's watch type of size. And they originally made their watches for the Royal Italian military. So, it made sense to them to make something nice and big, very easy to read, that's sort of the premise behind that. The crystal itself, domed. Sort of a convex dome, so be careful of that when you have this on your wrist. But having something this big, well, you're gonna know it's nice and big, anyway. So you won't have an issue, sort of avoiding door handles and wayward desk edges and such. For my wrist, seven inches, the lugs do hang over a little bit, but not to fear because these strap does pull straight down. So, I can recommend this for anyone with a wrist size down to even maybe six inches, or even five and a half, if you wanna go loud and proud in that sort of sense. Nice and big, large and in charge, whatever you wanna call it. That's basically what you get from Panerai, and this one is no different. GMT features, quite useful in their own right. You can always have a reference time for home, as well as your local, which you can also set without disturbing the seconds or the minutes. So once you have this nice and set properly to a reference time, it'll be hard to get it out of sync. So, nice and actually quite good from Panerai here. Now, enough of what I think. What do you guys think about this watch? Let us know, down in the comments below, what you think about the PAM 1535, the 1-5-3-5, the Luminor GMT, in other words, from Panerai, the 42-millimeter case size with the black Paris hobnail dial, Arabic and index numerals, with the brown scamosciato strap. I'm not quite an Italian pronunciator. Pronunciator? I'm not very good at pronouncing Italian, so, leave it down in the comments below how bad my Italian is. But basically, a suede strap.
