The Pam 561 is a Luminor, hence a Base ( without seconds ) which, with its white dial, is well known from the old school guys, as we used to see the Pam 10, in the early 2000's which came with the same dial, and the same case.

The Pam 561 is a Luminor, hence a Base ( without seconds ) which, with its white dial, is well known from the old school guys, as we used to see the Pam 10, in the early 2000's which came with the same dial, and the same case.

But here, the difference is that Panerai housed an 8 days movement, instead of the ETA.

The Pam 561.



Note that there is another white Luminor Marina Panerai housing the same Cal 5000, but with a small second located at 9 o'clock, whose reference is Pam 563, for your information, which is the " daughter " of the Pam 3 and the grand daughter of the Pre Vendรดme Daylight Slytech.

Quite a fresh offer, and original, too.

Same story for the Pam 564: The combination of a titanium case and a brow dial is not new, as it was first used on the legendary Pam 36 " Marina Militare ", with tritium indexes, before we saw others coming with luminova indexes. The combination is very appealing, I find.

The same watch comes with a Base dial, with the reference Pam 562.

The Pam 564:





While the Pam 561 has a stainless steel case, Panerai chose titanium for the Pam 564. Both references are 44 mm big.

And both are 300 meters water resistant, despite their sapphire case back.

A word on the movement, which is the P 5000. It is a hand wound movement with a 8 Days power reserven which I find very astute and quite exclusive on a diving Watch, 35, 7 mm big, 4, 5 mm high ( only ), with a variable inertia balance, and beating at 21 600 alternances per hour.

Here a view on the movement, through the sapphire case back:



Not bad, not bad at all....

Looking forward to reading your thoughts and reactions,

Best.

About the Panerai Mare Nostrum Steel Ref. PAM300

The PAM300 represents Panerai's Mare Nostrum series in a steel case configuration. This reference delivers the Mare Nostrum design in brushed steel construction with a substantial 52mm case diameter.

The watch features a brushed steel case measuring 52mm across, paired with a matching brushed steel bezel. Protection comes from 1.6mm sapphire crystal, while water resistance extends to 30 meters. The movement is the Calibre OP XXV, housed within the steel case construction.

This reference appeals to collectors seeking a large-format steel sports watch from Panerai's Mare Nostrum collection. The 52mm case size positions it for those who prefer substantial wrist presence, while the brushed steel finishing provides a utilitarian aesthetic. The PAM300 offers an entry point into the Mare Nostrum series for collectors focused on steel case variants.

Although PR Indicator on the back would make them perfect! I suppose you can argue that it can be wound once a day.

a..full range..of 8 Days, was to be expected. I personally find them rather handome, although I would have preferred a more "Italian"..8 giorni, instead of the english version (a bit of roots recognition, would not be wasted). As for the...white one...well, I'm a bit ambivalent. On the one side, I understand that the "fan" base is widening and a white dialled "base" with an 8 giorni PR will be well appreciated. On the flip side, it's a PANERAI and PANERAIS are...black dialled, for crying out lou

A kind of tribute to the amazing job done by Mr Bettarini. Well, at lezst, this is my personal feeling. Or, to be more honest, this is the way I want to feel it! :) Ciao, my friend. Nicolas

They're classic and "clean" Panerai's, and it's nice to see the a new 8 day movement in these historic 44mm Luminors. Time to phase out the Unitas versions now :) Cheers, Anthony

since I'm a proud owner of a 5218-207A which, mind you, is considered the..pariah..of the Pre-V crop :-) Ciaooooo
