Pam188 Luminor Daylight

Incoming today, very happy of my choice, the dial is true white and my first white Panerai. The final choice was between the PAM563 and this one. Ok, the dial is busy, but what to expect from a Chrono, and I love the position of the date, although many purists say a date does not belong on a Chrono, I love it.

The brushed luminor case sits nicely on the wrist and with the shiny tachymeter bezel....beautiful contrast. The chrono pushers are nicely integrated in the also shiny crown guard. Remark that the lever of the crownguard is the other way.

First thing I had to do is to change the strap as I'm not a big fan of folding clasps.

Next this watch will be my companion for the summer and water activities, whenever the summer decides to come here....

The PAM188 is a beautiful watch that gets lost in the shuffle with so many other Panerai models which deserve our love. That's the trouble with this brand is that there is much to appreciate; many models to admire. In the meantime, here is my 188 on a black Greg Stevens strap.
