Luminor 1950 3 Days GMT Automatic Tuttonero

In Context

At 44 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 100 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 72 hours of reserve puts it well past a weekend — several days off the wrist and it is still going.

PAM00438 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black dial with a titanium, ceramic case. Beyond the time it carries a gmt.
