Hey, guys, this is Ken from Jaztime.com, and today, we'll be reviewing the Panerai Radiomir 1940s. The reference number for this watch is PAM 572. We'll go over the price, the dial, the bezel, the case, crown, strap, buckle, and we'll talk about the movement towards the end of the video. Okay, so as of May 2018, you can get this watch from authorized Panerai retailers from $10,200 plus tax, or you can come here at Jaztime.com, and see the most up-to-date pricing for this watch. Okay, so moving right into the dial now. So, we have a typical Panerai dial, just index hour markers, Arabic numerals in a three-six-nine, sometimes a 12, specifically for this one of course, it has the 12 Arabic numeral. Absolutely beautiful, absolutely beautiful dial. This is a sandwich style dial. Panerai has two different style of dials, sandwich dial being one of them. The other one is a painted. So what it means by sandwich style dial is that there's actually two dials on this watch. There's a lower portion of the dial that is luminous filled and then the second dial, that's the second portion of the dial that sits on top of that luminous bottom dial, creating sort of a layered structure, like a sandwich. And you can see as I tilt the watch over to the side, you can see that sort of extra dimension that's added, and you can see the raised portion of the hour markers and the Arabic numerals, that three, six, nine, and 12. It's absolutely gorgeous, it makes the dial absolutely gorgeous because of that sort of extra dimension to it, whereas, as I mentioned before, the other style of dial would be the Panerai painted dial, which is simply the luminosity just painted onto the black surface of the dial. Which, not to say is a bad thing, but the sandwich dial is personally my favorite, and it just looks absolutely gorgeous in this case. Specifically for the color of the dial, we have what's called sort of a creamy, creamy colored dial. It's actually a throwback to sort of the older style vintage models of the Panerais, which use the Tritium illuminosity coating. The Tritium was used in vintage watches to provide luminosity, but over time, that Tritium was a beautiful white, slowly starts to fade into this sort of creamy color, and that's what the Radiomir 1940s tried to mimic, is that they tried to mimic that nice creamy brown color, sort of like a coffee color for the hour markers. And then you can see that on the hands, as well. The seconds subdial located at the nine o'clock position. One other thing is that the automatic used to be closer to the six o'clock position in previous Radiomir models, and they've actually raised it up a little bit because of the extra dial real estate. And what I mean by extra dial real estate is that the previous Radiomir 1940s models used to have a 42 millimeter case size, but now, this watch is a 45 millimeter case size. So from my index finger to my thumb, that's a 45 millimeter diameter case size now. The bezel is still a very beautiful high polish, that matches along with pretty much the whole high polish of the case. The case itself is actually very durable, very sturdy, because they've actually machined it out of just one piece of AISI316L steel, instead of having a separate portion from the lugs to the case. It's just one fully machined case, and just absolutely adds to the durability and stability of the watch. It's just absolutely gorgeous. So for the thickness of the watch, as I've mentioned that the case is a 45 millimeter case size, the thickness of the case has actually been slimmed down from previous Radiomir models. The thickness of this watch is a 12.2 millimeter case thickness, whereas the original Radiomir 1940s were a 15 millimeter size case. Now, 12.2 doesn't seem like very much in terms of just, in general watch models, but three millimeters, almost three millimeters difference from the previous generation models to this generation model, that's actually quite substantial. And it actually sits and feels much much nicer on the wrist. One thing to mention is that the crystal is a nice flatter crystal, as well, as compared to some things like the Luminors, have more of a dome crystal. This crystal sits much flatter on the dial, but still raised. Alright, so moving on to the crown, now. The crown is just a screw-down crown, simply unscrews counter-clockwise, as shown. 'Kay. In it's final, in this standard position, rather, the center position allows you to wind the watch for, from a dead stop you only need to wind your watch about 15 to 20 winds, is all you need, clockwise. Pulling your crown out to the next position, oops. I apologize. There we are Okay, pulling your crown out to the next position will stop the seconds hand and the seconds subdial at the nine o'clock position, and allow you to set the time precisely, such as to an atomic clock online. You can set it down to the exact seconds. Of course, the hands move bi-directionally, as well. Pressing the crown back in will start the seconds subdial once more. As you can see, it's already starting to move. And always make sure you've screwed your crown nice and tight in against the case, as you wanna keep this watch water resistant for up to 100 meters, or 330 feet. Alright, moving on to the strap now. The strap is just a very beautiful, black, alligator leather strap. The stitching on the strap, you can see, it's not that, it's not like a pure white coloring. It's got that creamy color to match the dial that, as I mentioned before, that sort of creamy colored Tritium. And here is the backside of the strap. You can see the Official, let me flip that over for you, Official Panerai name, it's right there, stamped into the strap itself, with the Italy. Of course, and for the buckle portion, it's just a very simple tang buckle, nicely high polished as well. Panerai name embossed on there. For the movement, the movement is housed in this beautiful case backing. Unfortunately, I do have to block out some portions of the back casing, as that does provide information about the watch, such as serial number, and model number and such. But, besides that, that's where it would be located, is where the white stickering is. We have the water resistance, with the little fish, embossed on there as well. Stainless steel embossed on the six o'clock position, the Official Panerai name embossed at the 12 o'clock position. And that houses the movement. And it's beautiful with a translucent sapphire crystal. Has a mini oscillator, as you can see. The movement itself is movement made by Panerai. It's their in-house made P4000 caliber movement. It has a 72 hour power reserve, so I mean, you could put this watch down on a Friday evening, pick it back up on a Monday afternoon, and it'll be keeping time just fine. So, let me actually and show you this watch on my wrist now. One second. Alright, so there's the watch on my wrist. As you can see that dial, that sandwich dial, absolutely gorgeous with that creamy color, the high polish really bringing out the face of the watch. That black alligator leather strap even working with that contrasting of the black dial, the stainless steel, and that creamy color stitching all around. Even though this watch is 45 millimeters, it doesn't feel heavy on my wrist. It doesn't feel like it's taking up too much of my wrist, but you can definitely feel the watch on your wrist. It's not a sorely, stressful, oh this is too heavy. This actually just fits absolutely perfectly. As you can see on the side profile, it doesn't sit too high on the wrist, either, being that 12.2 millimeters as I've said before, as the previous models were a 15 millimeter thickness.
