Fresh from the showcase here at SwissWatchExpo today. I have a watch that I'm very excited to share with
you, but it is not for everyone. And neither is this video. This watch is going to be for
the lefties among us. Left-handed people, that far too often have been completely left
out when it comes to watch shopping. Some of our options are incredibly limited and
frankly I'm sick of it. And so it was Panerai. And so we've got a beautiful looking Luminor,
44 millimeter that's specifically made for left-handed people, Panerai - this is a brand
that is actually very important and a model that's very important to shopping for left-handed people,
specifically for those of you who know the Luminor does have the oversized crown guard that is great,
practical use that protects the watch but it's pretty large and it's a little clunky.
And especially if you were wearing the watch on your right hand,
as most left-handed people do. And the crown guard is at three o'clock, it's incredibly
uncomfortable, incredibly cumbersome, and really makes it almost impossible to set the watch while
it's on your wrist. So this is something that is incredibly necessary for left-handed people
who love Panerai. And as a left-handed person I got to say, when you're shopping for Panerai,
our options are incredibly narrow. You're basically looking at the Luminor you're looking
at the Radiomir for the most part. If you're looking to forego the crown guard altogether,
but if you love the size of the Luminor, you're going to have to look for a left-handed model,
and the good news is Panerai has been making this since the late 40s, when the Luminor was
invented, or at least released. It was meant to be a very practical watch
and the Italian Navy at the time that it was made for had a lot of left-handed divers.
Cause I don't know if you know this, but us left-handed people
we've been around for awhile. and so they've got to make watches for us eventually,
least of all of this watch being meant for left-handed people. It's an incredibly
beautiful watch in and of itself. It's got the beautiful matte colored black finish and these
brown luminous markers and hands here look incredible. You also see that you've got
the eight day power reserve indicator here in blue, which is a beautiful splash of color. And
of course advertises one of the best complications about this, which is an incredible eight day power
reserve. What I also really love about this is it's able to preserve the sort of minimalist look
of the dial because you actually do have a power reserve indicator, but Panerai as they do in a few
models, and I love this, I actually put it on the exhibition case back rather than the actual dial.
I think this is great because especially for a watch with a power reserve of this long eight
entire days, it's not really a how much power reserve you have left is not something you're
going to be checking periodically might not even be something you need to check every day.
So it does sort of clutter the dial up a little bit to sort of put that next, to say a date
window, or next to one of the hour markers. When in fact you could just put it on this case back,
it's got a manual wind movement, so no rotor to sort of obscure the shape or the vision of it.
and so you could just take the, watch off, flip it over and see how long you got.
This s a great watch for left-handed people who have an extensive watch collection. And aren't
looking for something that they're going to need to wind every day or something that they could
wear periodically just once a week, give it a wind, and you'll never have to consider it again.
This also has a beautiful looking rubber strap on it, which I think is great. Definitely holds up to
anything you could want to do under the water. So definitely keep it being within the spirit
of Panerai. And of course, you know, just the technical prowess of this watch. It's a fantastic
dive watch for us left-handed people, if you're right handed, I'm sorry. You've probably switched
to another video right now, but it's fine. We've got a ton of watches just for you too, We're going
to have this up live for the Christmas shopping season. So if you've got a left-handed person
