Panerai Luminor 1950 Marina 44mm P9000 Steel (PAM359)

The new Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic – 44 mm has all the essential characteristics of a model produced almost 20 years ago by Officine Panerai, with the same levels of sturdiness, reliability and waterproofness, with the addition of two elements that give this watch new value: P.9000 in-house calibre and a new dial.

The dial, protected by anti-reflective 2.6 mm thick sapphire crystal, has a black base and classic sandwich structure to guarantee exceptional visibility whatever the conditions. Instead of the classic stick hour markers, eight tiny Arabic numerals have been cut out of the plate, while the classic large Arabic numerals feature at 12, 6 and 9 o’clock. The luminescent substance that covers the hour and minute hands, small seconds hand, date and writing, has the same ecru colour of the Panerai military models from the Forties, which was the result of natural ageing of the phosphorescent paste used at that time.

The novelty from a technical point of view for the Luminor 1950 Marina 3 Days Automatic – 44 mm lies in the movement. No longer the OP III calibre but the P.9000, another automatic movement that is however entirely designed and produced inhouse by Officine Panerai. With a diameter of 13¾ lignes and 28 rubies, the P.9000 calibre has 197 components and two spring barrels that guarantee a power reserve of 72 hours.


The case on the Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic measures 44 mm in diameter and is in polished stainless steel, highlighting the contrasting brushed crown-protecting bridge. Waterproof to 30 bar (about 300 metres), this new model has the strap attached to the lugs with an exclusive patented method that allows for easy rapid replacement and a sapphire crystal back plate that allows the movement to be seen.

With reference PAM00359, the Luminor 1950 Marina 3 Days Automatic – 44 mm comes on a leather strap with Panerai logo buckle in brushed steel,a spare strap and two tiny tools for replacing it.
