I love Panerai and its watches but I always have one problem with some of their releases. Their watches are nice but sometimes lack in execution of certain features.
Take their latest release for instance
Panerai has just released their newest movement the P5000. It is a manual winding movement with 8 days power reserve. The 510 and 511 are the models which feature this new movement. The 510 is in stainless steel and the 511 is in rose gold. It has been known for sometime but finally released to the general public.
The thing I don't understand is why a Power Reserve indicator was not included. A power reserve indicator is useful especially for a 8 days movement because it gives the wearer an indication of when the watch needs to be wound again.
Panerai have gone down this road previous with the limited edition 339. It can be argued no PR indicator was included because it had a cool composite case and it would ruin the aesthetic beauty of the watch overall.
Time will tell if a P5001 movement will be released just like P3001 movement which has a PR indicator on the back.
