In Context
At 40 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 300 m is a professional diving rating, far past any demand a wrist is likely to make of it.
The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 42 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.
PAM00120 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a blue dial with a stainless steel case.
Inside: Caliber OP III
Explore this caliber →A Valjoux 7750 with its chronograph removed. Panerai took the industry's most-produced automatic chronograph, stripped the timing works and left the base going train, which is why a three-hand Luminor carries the beat rate and 42-hour reserve of a chronograph movement. The result is unglamorous and extremely well understood — any watchmaker who has serviced a 7750 knows this movement.
