SIHH 2011: Officine Panerai Radiomir 3 Days Platino PAM00376
SIHH 2010. Officine Panerai launched three big 47mm Radiomir Special Edition watches at SIHH 2011. Each watch is encased in case made of precious metals, from which the watch derives its name: the PAM 373 Platino (Platinum), the PAM 376 Oro Blanco (White Gold) and the PAM 379 Oro Rosa (Rose Gold). Being a Special Edition, this watch will see a limited production, with only 299 PAM 376 to be manufactured.
Officine Panerai Radiomir 3 Days Platino PAM00376. In 1936, the Italian Navy asked Officine Panerai to develop a watch that could withstand extreme conditions and could be easy to read underwater and in the dark. To meet this requirement a watch with a large 47mm face, large luminous hands and numerals was created. The name Radiomir came from the self-luminescent material used to paint the hands and numerals on the dial of the watch.
The PAM 376 has the so-called "California Dial" which has a rather odd looking combination of Roman numerals, Arabic numbers and stick and triangle markers on its face. The California Dial was used by some Panerai and Rolex watches manufactured in the 1930's. It should be recalled that back than, Panerai watches used Rolex movements, so a certain degree of sharing in design did occur between the two companies. In the 1980's a company based in California, USA, refurbish the dials of several vintage Rolex watches with the combination Roman numerals and Arabic number dials, anf the dial got the name, "California Dial." As near as I can surmise, these dial was the result of Panerai experiments at perfecting the high visibility dial.
The PAM 376's case is 47 mm large and made of white gold. Like several other watches announced by Paneria at SIHH 2011, this one also has a Plexiglas crystal. Water resistance is rated at 100 meters.
P.3000 calibre. The PAM 373 is powered by Officine Panerai's new P.3000 calibre. This is an in-house movement entirely designed by Officine Panerai and manufactured in Neuchâtel facility. The P.3000 calibre has a three day power reserve and produces 21,600 vibrations per hour. The movement can be viewed through a sapphire crystal case back.
About Panerai. Officine Panerai was founded in 1860 in Florence, Italy by Giovani Panerai. Panerai was acquired over by Swiss watchmaker Richemont S. A. in 1997.

PAM26 Luminor Marina Left Handed SE 2008
The Panerai PAM26 is a special edition watch from the year 2008 (K). Panerai produced 1,000 pieces of the watch. The PAM26 is a so called "Destro" watch, which means it is intended for left-handed people or in any case, to be worn on the right wrist. The crown and its crown guard are positioned on the 9 o'clock position as opposed to the 3 o'clock position where it normally is.
Panerai PAM26 Luminor Marina Left Handed
The PAM26 has a steel 44mm case with a hard black coating (PVD). The color of the PVD coating is slightly lighter than that of e.g. the ceramic PAM292 and slightly darker than that of the PAM28. Its color is often referred to as "charcoal gray" or "pencil gray".
The 44mm case is steel with a hard black coating (PVD)
In an interview with Panerai CEO Angelo Bonati, he stated that Panerai started working on a ceramic case because they had to find a substitute for PVD. Because there is a buyer's demand for black watches but PVD can have problems with scratching etc. and once the PVD is scratched, you can do nothing to fix it. Something to keep in mind if you are looking into buying yourself a PVD watch.
The dial of the PAM26 is a black sandwich dial and the color of the Luminova is green. The PAM26 has a sub seconds dial at the three o'clock position where it normally is positioned on the nine o'clock position. The movement is a hand-wound mechanical Panerai OP II calibre with a power reserve of 56 hours.
The watch is a re-edition of the regular production original PAM26 that Panerai produced in 1998 (200 units) and 1999 (500 units). The original PAM26 in the A-series had a so called painted tritium dial as opposed to the 26K which has a sandwich dial.
The 2008 edition has a Luminova sandwich dial
Apparently there are only 60 to 70 units in the B-series that also came with a transitional Tritium dial with T SWISS T underneath the six. The other units in the B-series came with a Luminova dial. The 2008 SE is a collectible watch that generally sells above its original list price but the 1998 original is of course much more rare and valuable as a result.

Panerai Pam 292 Ceremic Black seal Radiomir!!
Panerai Radiomir PAM 00292
Black Panerai. The black Radiomir PAM 292 released by Panerai in 2007, was not their first Black Panerai. Panerai had already previously released the PAM 004, which was a black Luminor Marina and PAM 009 was a Black Luminor. These watches were made using stainless steel cases with a "black" coat applied via physical vapor deposition (PVD). PVD is a method of depositing thin films by the condensation of a vaporized form of the material onto various surfaces. It basically means depositing a layer metal onto another. These Panerai PVD watches were made of stainless steel, coated with titanium nitride. This gave the watches a "black" or "gun metal" finish.The problem with PVD coating is that they can get scratched as easily as stainless steel, and if scratch badly enough, the stainless steel case of the watch would be exposed. Unlike a stainless steel watch, you can not simply buff out scratches, and re-coating the watch would be relatively expensive.
Panerai Radiomir PAM 292. In 2007 Panerai released another Black Panerai. The Radiomir PAM 292. The PAM 292 belongs to Panerai's historic line. It uses a hand wound Panerai OP X movement, which is a Panerai modified ETA 6497 movement. The movement produces 21,600 vibrations per hour and has a 55 hour power reserve. The watch is encased in a 45 mm case which has a 100m water resistance rating.
The interesting about this watch is not its movement, but its finish. Unlike most black watches in the market, it does not use PVD. It is a ceramic coated watch. The ceramic used is Zirconium Oxide and it is molded from powder using a process of isostatic pressure instead of being cast. This process make it extreme durability, reputedly five times tougher than 316L steel, it also highly resistant to scratches and corrosion.
This finish is also now being used on the special edition Luminor PAM 00026 andLuminor PAM 317.About Panerai. Officine Panerai was founded in 1860 in Florence, Italy by Giovani Panerai. Panerai was acquired over by Swiss watchmaker Richemont S. A. in 1997.
