Huy (hmd4m) shares his affection for the Panerai PAM086, a reference that often sparks debate among Paneristi purists. His post highlights the watch's distinctive slate dial, inviting the community to appreciate its unique aesthetic. This article explores why the PAM086, despite its polarizing nature, holds a special place for some collectors.


The PAM086 represents Panerai's Luminor Marina series in a 44mm steel configuration with an anthracite dial. This reference positions itself within the brand's automatic offerings, distinguished by its dark dial treatment against the steel case construction.
The watch features a 44mm steel case housing an automatic movement. The anthracite dial provides a darker aesthetic compared to traditional black or white dial variants within the Luminor Marina range. The steel case material offers durability while maintaining the collection's characteristic proportions.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a Panerai automatic in steel with the visual distinction of an anthracite dial. The 44mm case size aligns with contemporary Panerai sizing standards, while the automatic movement eliminates the need for manual winding. The steel construction and anthracite dial combination provides an alternative to more common dial colors within the Luminor Marina series.
