No, it's a Luminor Due case (thinner with corresponding limited WR). The 1940 case is considered to be a Radiomir, but with solid lugs (not wire), and the 1940 case does not have the device protecting the crown.

Man, great looking piece. I think the new Due collection is great. I get the view of the traditionalist, but if they don't like them then Jimmy cracked corn and you shouldn't care. In regards to the crown guard being pointless, my guess is a conservative 99.8% of Panerisitis crowns are pointless in the regards that they're not bringing their pieces down 30m, let alone 300m.

Gorgeous watch/dial

Yeah I did not like the Due before but after seeing them at the store, they are really awesome looking

Yes the number is of how many they made that year.

Major congrats!
I was looking at the 45mm automatic steel one with the grey sunburst dial and gold micro rotor. Gorgeous innovating pieces from Panerai!

i sold my pam 688 to buy this watch and couldn't be happier. i wear mostly vintage and the 688 just was way too big and clunky for me. this is the most wearable panerai i've ever tried on, and to me is one of the best blue dials ever made
