New model PAM00932 which is very similar to 690. Looks exactly the same except for the hands.

We have to see the watch to confirm if it is the same blue as the present blue series. Also, pictures taken by a phone camera from a iPad. I suspect, the hands are gold too but just looked silver.

By the way, it will be “U” series limited to 388 pieces to be produced. Check out the exhibition caseback, the wave???

Thanks. Do you know the significance of a 388 unit run? It’s also a two liner as v the 690 one line by one line

I haven’t the slightest idea. Oh! The pictures were taken by a friend at/in Hong Kong IFC Boutique. Perhaps, 2 liner is more balance.

It has to be gold hands.. A limited boutique edition of 388 pieces with a blue dial and no gold hands? Sounds really strange

Or maybe they don't wanna step on the feet of the 690 owners...

@azcii

My thought exactly. As I said, picture quality and I do not have much information. Just wait for the release then.

Stepping on feet, well, remember 249 vs 448? 127 vs 372? I heard they call 372 the fiddy killer.

I just got info from a pretty reliable source that it's indeed steel hands and not gold.

There you go! Typical Panerai, subtle changes so that no feet are being trampled on.

I actually like the watch anyway... I think the steel hands looks great too. Not a deal breaker for me personally

The 45mm gold version will be limited to 188 pieces..

88 years?

2018-88 = 1930

In the 1930s, the first Radiomirs were made for the Italian Navy, specifically designed for use under water.

88 years later, 5 new Radiomirs released ... All with a blue dial to symbolize the water / sea. They all even have an ocean/wave pattern on the back.

Have I solved the mystery? 😂

Not at all because (i) the first Radiomirs were not prodicednor manufactured 88 years ago. At best, it’s been 82 years.

(ii). The new releases that we have seen thus far are 1940 Radiomirs and not 1936 Radiomirs. So the reference to 1936 Radiomir releases seems to be off or irrelevant in this context.

(iii). I don’t believe all of the new releases are blue dials—I heard only one is a blue dial, although I agree with you about the blue wave dial color and case back!

Fair points, I'm probably wrong.

The 932 seems to have gold hands in these pics!

I apologise—I see they are all blue dials! Well, I defintely agree with younon the blue dial “wave” rationale, but the “88” is still a mystery to me, but who knows!

Thank you for the link

The hands are indeed gold. Looks like the only difference between the 932 and the 690 (dial) is the two lines of text ... assuming they are the same shade of blue.

Yes, looks like it. I think the dials will differ a little bit:

I'm so curious to know what the 88 means... I read that the number 88 is a special number in China.. Maybe that has something to do with it. Who knows

Am not sure where their source of info or if Horobox has edited their pictures .

Since it’s out of the box now , I released the pictures I have taken last Sunday from the HK Boutique internal catalog on their IPad .

As a matter of interest , I have placed my order and was told it will be released this Oct .

Thanks for sending these pics. Wow, really like the 932. Might have to order one to cure the PAM bug.
