Panerai 8-Day Power Reserve Caliber P.5000 Debuts in New Luminor Watches
Officine Panerai’s rapid rise to manufacture status continues with its release of yet another in-house movement, Calibre P.5000, a manual-wound movement with an eight-day power reserve. The new caliber makes its debut in a pair of new watches, the Luminor Marina 8 Days and Luminor Marina 8 Days Oro Rosso.While an eight-day power reserve is rare in wristwatches these days, it has been a part of Panerai’s history: the first watches that the brand created for Italian naval commandos had an eight-day power reserve, a requirement at the time for a unit that needed its timepieces to run reliably for long military operations. Between the end of the 1940s and early 1950s, Panerai, which originated in Florence, used a 16-ligne, manual-wound Angelus movement that met these criteria.The structure of Panerai’s new Caliber P.5000 echoes those of movements from that era, in which the mechanism was contained between two plates, which concealed most of the wheels and allowed only a f

Casio Pathfinder PAG-240-1 Watch Review
Somehow, I think that the watch designers at Casio enjoy their jobs.I've never met or spoken to one, but from seeing a succession of Casios over the years, and the relentless way that they keep improving, every single time, I have to think that they like what they do. Case-in-point today: the new PAG-240-1 Pathfinder. Casio has done a lot of Pathfinders over the years, and every single time the come up with new features, killer prices and manage to improve the user interface in small ways to boot.This Pathfinder is mid-line for Casio, lacking only the radio-set functionality of the more expensive versions.

The case is 50.7mm across at the widest point, 15.5mm thick and 65g on the plastic strap.There's also a leather strap, model PAG-240B-2, and bracelet, model PAG-240T-7. As w

116655 + BLNR for BLRO
As the title suggests, I've been back and forth on this idea for the better part of the last year or so. The BLNR is more or less a daily for me, the 116655 is great for weekends... they make a pretty good combo. With the BLRO potentially on the way out, I'm having this internal debate again in my mind. There is no deal in the works, but I think a straight up trade is pretty fair based on what I've seen in the secondary market.I mentioned BLNR as a daily, but I do rotate frequently during the weeks too, and would like to consolidate my smallish collection to some extent; ideally dropping two sports watches for one and picking up a dress piece.
