Earlier this year, Panerai exhibited the Panerai Radiomir Mare Nostrum (PAM300) at the SIHH. It attracted a great deal of attention at that show, including that of replica watch manufacturers. Now the replica version already appears on the replica market.
The watch was originally designed as an officer¡¯s deck watch in mid 1940s. And half a century later, Panerai redesigned it into PAM 300- a modern wristwatch with chronograph function and a tachymeter.
Crafted from stainless steel, PAM300 has a large size ¨C 52mm at diameter. It looks Louis Vuitton Belts quite robust with a bit vintage touch. But it is not as rugged as it looks. It is constructed to 30-meter watch resistance level, which fall far behind the standard of a diver¡¯s watch. So it is really risking risky to wear this watch to swim, let alone to dive with it.
The PAM300 is powered by Panerai OP XXVIII Calibre which is based on the vintage Minerva movements made in 1940s. According Panerai, it took them quite a time to disassemble, clean, re-oil and put re-assemble these old mechanisms so as to make them accommodate to the PAM 300. To my knowledge, the historic movement was also used in the 2008 Panerai Ferrari FER-24 Chronograph watch. And this hand-wound movement features 18 jewels and 42 hours.
The black dial is quite neatly designed with two subsidiary dials, luminous hour makers and Christian Dior Handbags hands. Like most Panerai watches, the legibility of the dial is excellent. Both side of the case is fitted with a sapphire crystal. And the watch is completed by a green cloth Chloe Handbags strap.
The Panerai Radiomir Mare Nostrum is made in a limited number with a unite price at $36,000. And on the rep market, you can get a pretty good rep PAM 300 at about $300 ¨Cless than 1/100 of the original price.
