2010s Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic PAM00312

Here we have a 2010s Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic PAM00312 that was first introduced in 2009, a modern take on the Luminor watches of the 1950s. The distinctive 44mm brushed cushion case curves at the lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 53mm and a thickness of 17mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side, a pressed-secured crown with the large crescent crown guard, a Panerai trademark, ensures that the crown is pushed against the case. A polished bezel holds a domed sapphire crystal above a black sandwich dial. The upper level has cut-out numerals and batons, with the luminescence coming through from the lower level. At 3 o’clock, a date window. At 9 o’clock, a small seconds register. Long sword hands have luminescence infill. The text is finely printed in white. On the reverse, a screw-down exhibition case back with sapphire crystal, inside an automatic Panerai Cal. P.9000, 28 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour. The movement has two barrels and a bidirectional skeletonised rotor for excellent efficiency, and it has a quick set-hour mechanism that allows you to set the date and hour without stopping the movement. It comes paired with its original well-worn 24mm Panerai leather strap with a signed buckle and a new 24mm aftermarket strap.

This watch is sold Watch Only and therefore comes without its original Panerai box or Panerai paperwork. It comes paired with its original well-worn 24mm Panerai leather strap and a new 24mm aftermarket strap with the original Panerai buckle, which is currently fitted. The watch is from Circa 2010s and is sold in worn condition, but overall, it is in fair condition, as you can see, coming fresh from a light polish. This movement can be a little noisy. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

In 1860, Giovanni Panerai opened his watchmaker's shop in Florence. It wasn't only a shop and workshop but also served as the city's first watchmaking school. Officine Panerai was born. The shop later moved to its current location in the Palazzo Arcivescovile in Piazza San Giovanni, Italy, changing its name to "Orologeria Svizzera" at the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1916, stemming from Marie and Pierre Curie’s 1898 discovery, Officine Panerai created Radiomir to meet the military needs of the Royal Italian Navy. This radium-based powder gives luminosity to the dials of sighting instruments. Reference to the name "Radiomir" is documented in the patent filed in France on 23 March 1916. The substance's properties are perfect for military applications with high visibility, and the paint has excellent underwater adhesive qualities.  In 1936, Panerai created the first prototypes of the model now known as "Radiomir" for the frogman commandos of the First Submarine Group Command of the Royal Italian Navy. The Navy's historical archives record that just ten prototypes were produced in 1936. It was during this time that a very unusual relationship between Rolex and Panerai was forged with the production of the Ref: 2533. The design comes from a 47mm Rolex Oyster pocket watch. That was turned on its side so that the crown would be now located at 3 o’clock. In 1949, Panerai introduced a new luminescence substance called Luminor, which was not only safer than radium-based Radiomir but also much more luminous. In 1955 Panerai launched the Luminor, a watch created for the Royal Italian Navy with its characteristic crown guard designed in the 1950s, invented by brother and sister Giuseppe and Maria Giuseppe Panerai. It wasn’t until 1993 that Panerai finally released the Luminor and Luminor Marina to the public. Today, Officine Panerai is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Richemont S.A Group that includes Cartier, IWC, Montblanc, and Vacheron Constantin.
