Why We Love it

For us vintage snobs, modern Panerai can be a tricky subject.  They’re either a home-run, or, well…the opposite. This beauty, the PAM01313, is very much the former.

With its beautiful, balanced dial, perfect proportions, in-house automatic movement, and classic Luminor design, it’s everything a Panerai should be.

Housed in a 44mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, a guarded and locking crown, and a polished bezel, it features a luminous matte black dial with a matching handset, a date wheel at 3:00, the signature Luminor Marina small seconds indicator at 9:00, and a power reserve indicatior at 4:00.

powered by Panerai’s hand-wound Calibre P.5000 movement with an incredible 8 days of power reserve, and comes paired to a signed navy blue leather strap with a signed stainless steel pin buckle.

If you’ve been on the hunt for a prototypical Panerai with some added complexity in a subtle way, then you’ve found it!

Brand Story

+
Giovanni Panerai founded his eponymous business in Florence in 1860 and quickly began making strides in the development of military and timekeeping equipment. In 1916, Panerai developed a radium/zinc sulfide powder mixture which he encased in glass vessels, the invention of which would form the basis of the “Radiomir” line of watches so beloved by collectors today.

In the 1930s and 1940s, Panerai supplied various units of the Italian Navy — including the Decima Mas, which carried out special forces-type raids on Allied shipping using small submersibles during the Second World War — with watches. These oversized timepieces, which were some of the world’s first dedicated military watches, featured stainless steel cases and Cortebert-made movements produced for Rolex. (Their distinctive, glowing “sandwich” dials were yet another Panerai invention, and continue to feature heavily in the brand’s modern catalog.)

Following the War, Panerai developed a new, tritium-based luminescent technology it dubbed “Luminor,” which replaced the radium-based Radiomir. A new case design featuring a bridge and locking mechanism to increase water resistance accompanied this luminous compound, resulting in one of the most iconic case designs still in production today.

In 1972, following the death of Guido Panerai’s son, Guiseppe, the firm was taken over by engineer Dino Zei, its name changed to Officine Panerai S.r.L. The company, which had never before produced its military designs for the civilian market, reissued three of them in 1993 to much acclaim. Panerai was subsequently purchased by the Vendome Group — the precursor to the modern Richemont Group — in 1997, and remains within its portfolio of luxury brands today. Its production of both Luminor and Radiomir-inspired designs firmly reestablished, Panerai continues to introduce new models that include complicated, in-house movements and unique case materials, such as its patented Carbotech.
