Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic Acciaio PAM00111

The Panerai PAM00111 is the 44mm Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic Acciaio that in 2010 debuted the Calibre P.9000, Panerai's first fully in-house automatic movement, delivering a 3-day power reserve and 300m water resistance. Cazador has no verified price observations as of July 2026. Its differential: the patented crown-protecting bridge, inherited directly from the Italian combat-diver instruments that originated the brand.

History

Panerai was founded in Florence in 1860 as a watchmaking and precision-instruments business, before becoming, decades later, a supplier of diving instruments to the Italian Navy during World War II — an origin the brand still invokes as the core of its identity, even though it now manufactures in Switzerland under the Richemont group, which acquired it in 1997.

The Luminor Marina design traces back to 1940s prototypes built for Italian combat divers: a cushion-shaped case, high-legibility dial, and above all the patented crown-protecting bridge that seals the winding crown against water ingress — a feature Panerai has kept as a visual signature to this day.

At SIHH 2010, Panerai unveiled its first fully in-house automatic movement, the Calibre P.9000, ending its reliance on modified third-party ébauches that had defined its automatics until then. Reference PAM00111, within the Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic Acciaio collection, became one of the most recognizable executions of that technical debut.

The dial uses Panerai's signature "sandwich" construction: two stacked discs, with the lower one coated in luminous material and the upper one cut out in the shape of numerals and indices, so light only emerges through those openings — a solution originally designed to maximize legibility underwater in low-visibility conditions.

Panerai maintains a regular practice of rotating and renumbering references within its active collections, which makes it difficult to confirm, without checking the current catalog, whether a specific and already-mature execution like the PAM00111 remains available through official channels at any given moment.

Frequently asked questions

What is Panerai's Calibre P.9000?

It's the first automatic movement designed and manufactured entirely in-house by Panerai, introduced in 2010. Before it, the brand's automatics were built on modified third-party ébauches.

How much does a Panerai PAM00111 cost?

Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference. We do not estimate or invent a figure without our own PricePoints; this section activates once sufficient data exists.

What is the crown-protecting bridge on Panerai watches for?

It's a patented device that locks and seals the winding crown against water ingress, inherited from the Italian combat-diving instruments that originated the Luminor design in the 1940s.

What is Panerai's "sandwich" dial?

A construction of two stacked discs: the lower one coated in luminous material, the upper one cut out into numerals and indices, maximizing legibility in low-visibility conditions.

Is the Panerai PAM00111 still in catalog in 2026?

We do not precisely confirm this in this fiche. Panerai rotates and renumbers references within its collections fairly often; verify against the current catalog before assuming availability.

What power reserve does the PAM00111 have?

Three days, roughly 72 hours, thanks to the in-house Calibre P.9000 — a notable figure for an automatic when this reference launched in 2010.

Is Panerai an Italian or Swiss brand?

It was founded in Florence in 1860 and keeps that Italian origin central to its brand identity, though current manufacturing is Swiss, under the Richemont group, which acquired Panerai in 1997.
