Pretty nice weather conditions during the easter weekend in Germany… I just had to take out the “Arillo Luminor” Ref. 6152/1 and tried to catch nice lights and shadows on the dial…

Happy Easter!

Just because… engraved 6152/1 caseback

Always a pleasure to take off the watch and just look at its caseback. I read the names of the two previous owners, Mario Arillo M.O.V.M. and Fabio Castellani. I remember the story behind and the excitement when I held it in my hands for the first time in may 2003. In fact it is the first Ref. 6152/1 “Luminor Panerai” watch I ever saw… and it still fascinates me today just like in the very first moment.

Just because… 6152/1

Looking thru my library today, I stopped at this photo which I took in april 2007. It was one of the first photos to build up the layout of our 1st book.

The pure DNA of Panerai featuring the crown protecting device, 47 mm case with solid lugs, huge domed plexi and “a strap like a belt” come out quite well, I think…

You can read more about the “Arillo Luminor” in our first book “Vintage Panerai – Watches with History”, chapter I.V, pages 114-141 and also in our 2nd book “Vintage Panerai – The References”, chapter IV.II, pages 226-237.
