2022 Panerai Luminor Blu Mare 44mm Manual PAM01085

Here we have a 2022 Panerai Luminor Blu Mare 44mm Manual PAM01085 inspired by Panerai’s 1950s combat watch, the ref. 6152 with its iconic 44mm cushion stainless steel case, polished surfaces lead to thick, straight, screwed lugs that hug the wrist with a lug-to-lug length of 54.5mm and a case thickness of 12.5mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is the characteristic crown guard, featuring a release and locking mechanism. A smooth, polished bezel holds a sapphire crystal above a sunburst blue dial, bearing indexes and Arabic numerals coated in Luminor marking the hours. This process has been perfected since its inception in the 1930s. Luminor is based on Luminova and has been developed by Panerai since the 1950s. The two hands are white and filled with Luminor in striking contrast to the black of the dial. At 9 o’clock, a small second sundial, at 12 o’clock, we have “Luminor Panerai", and at 6 o’clock, the Officine Panerai (OP) logo completes this distinctive dive watch. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the watch's details engraved into it, inside a manually wound Panerai Cal. P.6000, 19 jewels, beating at 21,600 beats per hour, this movement was introduced in 2018 and has hacking seconds and up to a 3-day power reserve. It comes paired with four 24mm Panerai straps with a signed buckle, and the watch comes with its Panerai presentation box, bezel protector and paperwork.

This watch is sold with an original Panerai box, bezel protector and paperwork. The watch comes paired with 3 Panerai 24mm straps with a signed buckle. The watch is from January 2023 and is in worn condition; however, as you can see from the photos, it is in fair condition. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

This is the Panerai Luminor Blu Mare, reference PAM01085, in 44mm and powered by the manually wound Panerai Cal. P.6000, which has an impressive 3-day power reserve. Paired with this fantastic blue Panerai leather strap, it also comes with 2 additional Panerai rubber straps, both of which suit the watch perfectly and offer a completely different look and feel on the wrist.

In 1860, Giovanni Panerai opened his watchmaker's shop in Florence; it was not 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, to meet the military needs of the Royal Italian Navy, Officine Panerai created Radiomir, a radium-based powder that 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's 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 luminescent substance called Luminor that 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.
