The Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic Acciaio – 44MM – Reference PAM01499 is powered by the calibre P.9010 – designed and created by Officine Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel. It features 31 jewels, a Glucydur® balance, an Incabloc® anti-shock device and has a 3-day power reserve. It was built with 200 components and moves with a frequency of 28,800 alterations per hour.
The reference PAM01499 has an hour and a minutes hand, with highly legible luminescent paint inside the black hands. Rather than luminescent numerals, the PAM01499 instead leverages luminescent dots appearing outside the hour locations, with double dots at 12 o’clock. The Panerai luminescent coloring is beige during daytime and bright green during night time.
The PAM01499 has a distinctive white dial, with a small seconds dial at the 9 o’clock position with a blue seconds hand. At 3 o’clock there is a date aperture. The PAM01499 has stylish Arabic numerals throughout, with the exceptions at 3 o’clock where the date aperture replaces the hour marker and at 9 o’clock where the small seconds dial appears. At 12 and 6 o’clock the Arabic numeral is enlarged.
The PAM01499 has a 44 mm case with a polished steel bezel and case. The large winding crown is protected by a brushed steel crown protecting lock-down mechanism which is a trademark of Panerai. The Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic Acciaio – 44MM – Reference PAM01499 is water-resistant to an outstanding 1000 feet.
The new P.9010 calibre has enabled the Panerai designers to make a significant reduction in the weight and thickness of the case so that it is just 15.6 mm. It is protected by a sapphire crystal formed of corundum on both the front and the back side of the timepiece, where the timepiece exhibits its exceptional workmanship of the calibre P.9010. The Officine Panerai timepiece is fitted with a brown leather bracelet with beige stitching on the 24/22 mm lugs.
Rubber B has developed 8 bands for the Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic Acciaio – 44MM – Reference PAM01499. It has 6 solid colors and two VulChromatic (dual-color) bracelets made of pure vulcanized rubber. All Rubber B bands are manufactured in Switzerland.
