The PAM289 / PAM00289 is unmistakably Panerai.
Coming in at 44mm wide with a polished rose gold bezel, brushed case, a tall domed crystal; the proportions are textbook.
All the desired traits of a Luminor are present here, including the sandwich dial construction, super-sized pencil hands, cushion case shape, instantly recognizable crown guard, and tons of lume.
The 289 pairs the nostalgic Panerai with modern touches.
At nine o’clock, where typically just a seconds sub-register is present, is now the ability to track a second timezone along with an day/night indicator.
At three o’clock is a date aperture with a black window allowing it to blend into the dial design.
At six o'clock is the 8-day power reserve visual indicator of the in house P2002 movement.
To appreciate the art in motion, flip the watch over to expose the sapphire crystal skeleton caseback.
With an MSRP of $27,200 this instant classic is being offered at under $20k with free shipping.
The set includes wooden Panerai box, warranty booklet dated March 2008, Instruction manual, branded watch pad, strap changing tool, OEM brown leather strap, OEM black rubber strap, hangtag.
