Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge Watches 2017 Review

Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge Watches 2017 feature 44-mm-diameter cases in corrosion-resistant AISI 316L stainless steel; like all Luminor 1950 cases, they are equipped with Panerai’s familiar (and patented) lever-locking bridge device for the winding crown, which ensures the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters. The solid steel caseback is engraved with the image of a vintage yacht and the words “PANERAI CLASSIC YACHTS CHALLENGE.” Beneath that solid caseback ticks Panerai’s in-house automatic P.9100 caliber, which includes a flyback chronograph function, with a vertical clutch and column wheel, and stores a three-day (72-hour) power reserve in two series-connected spring barrels.

The dial of 2017 special PCYC watches is offered with either a black dial with beige Arabic hour numerals (Ref. PAM00653) or an ivory dial with beige hour markers and blue details (Ref. PAM00654). The black-dial model comes on an untreated brown leather strap with beige stitching; the beige stitching, which echoes the color of the hour markers, also appears on the brown leather strap of the ivory-dialed version. The pusher at 10 o’clock starts, stops, and resets the chronograph, while the one at 8 o’clock instantly zeroes and re-starts the chronograph hands without the need to stop and restart with the other pusher.

The dial was designed for legibility of the watch’s various readouts, with the central chronograph minutes hands in different colors, the chronograph hours recorded on the subdial at 3 o’clock and the running seconds displayed on the subdial at 9 o’clock. Both watches’ dials have luminous treatment on the hands and hour markers and a tachymeter scale in knots (nautical miles) along the flange, which can be used with the chronograph to calculate the average speed of a yacht over a particular distance.

Panerai Caliber P.9100/R, a modified version of Caliber P.9100 with an added module for the countdown function. Like the Flyback models, this watch features a tachymeter scale in knots and beige, luminous hour markers on the dial whose color is echoed in the strap’s contrast stitching. The strap is made of natural untreated leather and fastens to the wrist with a titanium clasp with a heat-stamped “OP” (Officine Panerai) logo.
