The Panerai you see above might look a lot like every other Panerai, that is unless you're a Paneristi. You see cheap coach bags, the PAM 399 (and 398 - which is the same watch, but in gold) is actually a new case and crown design for PAM, and a watch that collectors are already going nuts for. Just how is it any different? Let's explain:

The Radiomir is the Panerai that we're told was built in the 1930s, and it features lugs that are actual wires welded to the case. You all know the type. Then, in the 1950s, Panerai was known for its Luminor case - the one with the beefy crown guard that looks like this. What the PAM 399 is, or rather the Radiomir 1940 is coach factory store, is a watch built in tribute to the Radiomirs not of the 1930s nor the Luminors of the 1950s, but of the oft forgotten Radiomirs of the 1940s which featured lugs attached directly the steel case - in fact they were carved out of a single block of metal. Other distinguising traits include the oversized, but historically accurate 47mm dimater, Plexiglas crystal, the round coach outlet, cambered bezel cheap coach bags, the cylindrical crown and the screw back. If you still don't understand the difference between the standad Radiomirs, the new Radiomir 1940 coach factory outlet, and the Luminor, this should clear things up:
Also, the PAM 399 doesn't use an in-house PAM movement coach outlet online, but it doesn't use a Unitas either. In fact, the PAM 398 and 399 use a movement from Minerva, which as you may know, now belongs to the Mont Blanc family (Panerai laid claim to this small batch of Minerva movements years back). Here's a look:
Both the PAM 398 (Radiomir 1940 Oro Rosso) and PAM 399 (Radiomir 1940) will be limited to 100 pieces each worldwide. But, out of those 100, 50 of each watch will come in a box set with the two watches together, to be sold exclusively at Panerai boutiques. If you're interested in either, it'd probably be wise to contact your Panerai boutique ASAP, because we al know how these Panerai peeps love their limited editions.
