Panerai Luminor Chronograph PAM 108 For AMG Luxury Watch Review

THIS WATCH IS FOR SALE: http://www.thewatchbox.com/watches/panerai Two icons in one 40mm brushed titanium case; that's the Panerai Luminor Chronograph PAM 108 for AMG. And since we’re stacking our legends today, let’s add one more: Mercedes-Benz AMG. This 1-of-100 limited edition Luminor Chronograph is like the best of the hot-rod Benzes from Affalterbach; the PAM 108’s prestige is “under the hood” and in the details. By combining the military heritage and cult-classic appeal of the Panerai Luminor with the high-horology landmark Zenith El Primero Chronograph, the watchmaker from Firenze offers a double-feature of marquee stars. Since the launch of civilian market Panerai watches in 1993, only six of the 350+ known references have featured the revered Zenith El Primero chronograph caliber - and none have been produced for over a decade. And this Panerai Luminor for AMG proves that Panerai truly does know how to co-brand with a luxury automaker. Unlike the later (and, uh… controversial) “Panerai for Ferrai” models, the PAM 108 AMG offers no explicit branding besides a discreet engraving on the underside of the case. Only the aggressive motorsports-inspired dial and tachymeter bezel betray the high-performance godfather of this Swiss-Italian chronograph. The dial of the PAM 108 is a unique one. Clearly inspired by the dashboard instruments of AMG-modified Mercedes Benz autos, the PAM 108 combines an engaging variety of depth, texture, and color with deft composition. Noth
