PAM439 Radiomir 42mm Oro Rosso
For us collectors, the difference is in the detail of course. But I must admit, that I had problems telling the different models apart when I photographed the 378 in 2011 - and I still do. The 378 and 336 (introduced in 2011) are also 42mm Radiomirs with a gold case and a small seconds dial at the nine o'clock position. The378 has a black dial, the 336 has a brown dial, and so does the new PAM439. The PAM439 has beige Luminova as opposed to the green version used for the other two models.

The PAM439 has a semi glossy brown alligator strap and a relatively small thumbnail buckle (18ct pink gold). A perfect match for this classy Radiomir.

The 439 has the P.999 Officine Panerai in-house movement that can be seen through its crystal case back. The mechanical hand-wound movement has a power reserve of 60 hours. The depth rating is 100 meters.

The dial looks more black than brown in the below pictures - but it really is brown. I still haven't learned to properly capture brown dials with flash photography...
And one last picture of the sandwich dial. There are a few more photos in my post about this watch on paneristi.com, in case you're interested.
