Introducing The Hamilton Pan Europ, Vintage Inspired And Budget Friendly (Details & Pricing)
Back in 1971, Hamilton introduced the Pan Europ, one of the first automatic chronographs on the market (using the famous chrono-matic / Calibre 11 movement). Here we have a new non-chronograph watch inspired by that original design and bearing the Pan Europ name. The new Pan Europ still takes advantage of the cushion case shape and the bright colors but offers an overall simpler package. That it's relatively light on the wallet only adds to the appeal.The new Pan Europ is housed in a distinctive 42mm cushion case that looks just like what you'd find with many of the classic 70s racing chronographs. The integrated lugs are short and thick and it looks like the top of the case is brushed with polished bevels and edges. The aluminum bezel insert is marked in 15 minute increments with single minutes marked from 0 to 15 like what you might find on a dive watch. 2 OF 2 There are two dial color choices, one blue and the other grey. Both feature bright white Superluminova

A Dream Visit to AP in Le Brassus, Switzerland - Part 1

It was a 2-day visit in Le Brassus, but there was some time to spend in Geneva before and after the trip to Vallee de Joux. I also took the opportunity to tour other parts of Switzerland.

Some of you might have seen some real-time photos I've posted in IG (orangedial17), but there are many more I want to share here and thus the report will come in a few instalments :) I would like to sincerely thank AP Singapore, in particular the management and boutique, for their kind invite and utmost hospitality for hosting this unforgettable visit to the AP HQ, museum and factory facilities in Le Brassus. Not only have I gained more in-depth knowledge about the history, technology, passion, direction, and many interesting details behind the scene, my respects for the

Minimal stitch straps
What is everyone's thoughts on the minimal stitch watch straps? The ones with just one stitch on either side of the strap at the lug? I don't see a lot of them on the what Panerai are you wearing today thread. Obviously the strap choice is very personal. I like these but they seem to be out of favor and wanted to hear the forums thoughts on the style. Here is an example of the type of strap.
