Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 ref. PAM00312 – Very fresh

In 1860, Officine Panerai started life as a watchmaker’s shop, which, somewhat unusually, also sold maritime equipment. Decades later, at the turn of the 20th century, the brand became the official supplier of the Italian Frogmen, who famously wore their watches – developed in collaboration with Rolex SA – while riding atop torpedos aimed at docked enemy ships. They would then attach limpet mines to those ships and try to make it back in time to avoid the explosions that followed. As you can imagine, a legible and dependable timekeeping device was an absolute must for these specialized soldiers, so that’s exactly what Panerai provided. The brand also supplied the Royal Italian Navy with a wide array of technical equipment and precision instruments, which further cemented its place in horological history.

Since Panerai tends to follow a similar design language for all of its watches, the watch on offer here – the Luminor Marina 1950 PAM00312 – is strongly reminiscent of its historical predecessors. It features 44 mm stainless steel case and 300 m water resistance that are perfect for those who enjoy outdoor activities, while the matt black “sandwich” dial with small seconds subdial and date window create a classic and elegant look. The in-house Panerai cal. P.9000 automatic movement provides 3 days of power reserve and ensures accurate timekeeping, while the well-known PAM crown guard provides a secure lock so that insides stay safe. Whether for everyday wear or special occasions, the PAM 00312 is a reliable and stylish choice for any watch enthusiast.

Our offering is in very good condition and is outfitted with original black OEM strap. Somewhat regrettably, it comes without any of its original boxes and papers. Ticking per specs.
