In an unexpected move, OP has dropped the date from the 424, but, in a revolutionary move for Panerai (

), the no-date 424 is keeping its model number!

NEW 424:

OLD 424:

Have to wonder what owners of the 376 think.....

I like it better than the date model.

sebastien1975 · 5 June 2014, 01:31 AM

No date for me

B. Doggy · 5 June 2014, 02:33 AM

Sheez....

iLLGT2 · 5 June 2014, 02:38 AM

Looks good to me despite the shenanigans

thsiao · 5 June 2014, 06:13 AM

Actually prefer it with the date... it was quite classy with it and who doesn't need a date function???

texex91 · 5 June 2014, 06:55 AM

Uh oh--here we go...

Well, I like either. Still think the 424 is sweet looking!

mfer · 5 June 2014, 07:34 AM

Now, if it had a 6497, I'd buy it.

Wow, that is quite a surprise but perhaps, like the 111 / 112 (dial changed from stuffed to sandwich) they consider it a permanent change of the original. for some, like myself, a change for the better

Still, I'd rather have the 448 (blue hands) and frankly-speaking, I'd take the 376 with traditional white hour markers over both (if it were only in SS...).

Thanks for the heads up, Cru!

mborkow · 5 June 2014, 11:49 PM

The date did not bother me though I do prefer it without it. I can't decide if I like the logo on the dial though

Wangensten · 6 June 2014, 04:25 AM

I really love it. I love the 448 so going no date on the 424 is just perfect

CWIN · 6 June 2014, 07:07 AM

I like the version without the date. I've tried the previous on though and did not like the way it looked on my wrist.

Forgot all about the 249... SS, white markers, blue hands

assuming gold hands aren't "needed", 249 is the way to go, IMHO --- nice and thin (compared to the in-house versions) and with a time-tested, reliable and easily serviceable movement. plus, no "california" engraving.

Boy that was quick - already saw one at one of our ADs (€6700)

nauticajoe · 3 July 2014, 10:15 AM

I prefer the date. After all, it's a 424.
