Any current Panerai offerings with domed sapphire crystal?

[Tyler_Durden_8]

Hello!

I been out of the scene for a bit and now getting back into it. Just want to ask all the expert in this forum to see if anyone knows which model(s) in the current offering has/have the domed sapphire per the title suggested. I know that 233 is one of them.

Thanks in advance!

There's the 233, 127, 217, 289, 368, 270, 335, 275, 311, 317, 345, 212, 213, 253, 286, 422, 423, 276, 306 and finally the 396 I believe.

No problem. I love the dome crystal as well. That's why I went for the 127 and 233 for myself. Best of luck with your hunt.

Question for the learned Panerai fans
Has anyone successfully swapped out the Domed acrylic crystal offered on some Radiomirs for a Sapphire one?

Got my eye on a PAM 687 but the plastic crystal makes me nervous

I have the PAM 687, it’s an amazing watch. It is supplied with a spare crystal in the box, but frankly I have never had an issue with scratches etc. the profile of the crystal keeps it pretty much out of harms way

Changing original sapphire crystals or plexy require specific bezels… I do know of people that have changed out a flat sapphire to a domed plexy and that required a bezel change too.

You’ll love it. It’s a rare piece with only 1500 manufactured. The front and rear bezel is completely unique on any Panerai and one of the few pieces they’ve reintroduced that actually existed as the 3646 Brevettato in the 1930s during the initial era of the company.

Here’s mine and a photo of the original 1930s variant with discoloration on the dial caused by radium burn-in.

That is a nice looking watch. Congrats！
