New for 2018 L' Astronomo Moonphase
New release for 2018
L' Astronomo Luminor 1950 Tourbillons Moon Phases Equation of Time GMT - 50mm to give it it's official title! Man, I think this is going to divide opinions. The watch itself looks amazing on the website, the detail in that skeleton movement....Wow! However, there is one element that may or may not be a little contravercial - the LCD date! Personally I'm really on the fence - I can't decide whether I like it or not tbh What do you guys think..? Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

50mm? That's crazy. Not a fan of the digital date. Not sure how they thought that was neat or aesthetically pleasing.

Love it! Absolutely love it. As I said in the other thread, if the price is right I'll be all over it like a shitty blanket.
I suspect it'll be very expensive though.

Very cool, but somehow multiple complications just doesn't go with a Panerai.
Was hoping they would release some simpler designs or new materials. Maybe with the new CEO coming on board ... |

It's not an LCD date.
The date wheel is laser modified borosilicate glass and the date wiindow is polarised making the date non reflective and glare free. But it does look like a LCD.

New for 2018 L' Astronomo Moonphase
The watch it's self is amazing, I can take it or leave it over the digital date,
But 50mm come on !!! How many people can wear a 50mm watch? I really get disappointed when panerai over size the watch. Basically a display watch imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

50mm is big, but not unwearable. Here my Pam is 47mm and is fine.

I was just clarifying for the record that it has been established that in fact it doesn't actually have a digital or LCD date. That's all Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
