People say its easy to forget how lucky we are. Not for me, I get to go into Beverly Hills Watch every week and poke my head around a literal watch and jewelry playground. I’m reminded every time how lucky I am and how fortunate and fun partnering up with with Armen and Previously Enjoyed is, and has been. Today, I’m going to show you another great timepiece, a very cool Panerai; the Luminor 1950 Rattrapante. Lets get to it!

Today we have a big boy watch! For those Panerai lovers I’m sure you know lots about this watch already. But let me share a little info I’ve learned. First off… what is a “Rattrapante”? Well if you don’t know… either did I… so you’re not alone. Basically, rattrapante refers to the split-second function this watch possesses. The watch has 2 large second hands that are used in conjunction with the chronograph functions. These are controlled by the 2 buttons on the left side of the case. This function is similar to that of a lap timer, wherein you can stop one second hand while allowing the other one to continue. Hope that helps explain this super cool complication.
The Panerai Luminor 1950 Ratttapante has an unbelievable 8 day power reserve! This is pretty incredible and would save a guy like me a whole lot of winding time.
My experience and thoughts on wearing this timepiece from Previously Enjoyed; This watch is a large piece. It’s 47mm diameter case and with the large Panerai crown bridge it makes it ever larger. I have a medium sized wrist, measuring at 7 inches – its large on me. I kind of like the oversized look. Panerai had done a wonderful job with their rubber straps. This one really held the watch on my wrist throughout the day without having that heavy feeling clunking around. I would not suggest this watch for someone under 6.5 inch wrist diameter.
I was also a big fan of the exhibition caseback. I love to see what’s cooking behind the surface.
Previously Enjoyed has this watch priced to go and I don’t think it will last long. It was purchased new in 2016. If you’re in the market, don’t wait. Also make sure you check out their website to see all the other great watches available.
