Panerai Luminor 1950 Flyback Chronograph uglyones matte black dial with hourFor us vintage snobs, modern Panerai can be a tricky subject. Theyre either a home run, or, wellthe opposite. This beauty, the PAM00524, is very much the former. A complicated timepiece by Panerais early tool watch standards, the PAM00524 retains the brands famed Luminor case profile, including the locking crown protection device. On top of standard timing functions, it adds a flyback chronograph with both central elapsed seconds and minutes hands.
