Panerai PAM 36 and PAM 40.

Feb 20, 2018,00:31 AM
 

In the Vendome years, my favorite duo was the PAM 36 Marina Militare and the mysterious PAM 40. 


Knowing which one came first is a bit like trying to know which one, from the egg or the chicken, came first. 

The PAM 40, it seems, was made to test the waters about a Luminor Marina in titanium with a tritium dial, and, like the PAM 36, was part of the " Projetto Slytech ". 

Limited to 200 pieces, it was not treated like a Limited Edition: No roll paper, no big box... 

The PAM 36 is the PAM 36, the first Vendome Marina Militare, unique with its titanium case, chocolate dial and tritium indices. 

I owned both of them, and it was a great pleasure and honor. 









Best,

Nicolas

It would be awesome to have either...better with both!

If only they had come up with the idea....

of making BOTH of them MMs (587-673 like) the 40 would have had its "day in the sun" as well.

True, too! [nt]

Splitting hairs to decide, but I would opt for the 40.

Love the black dial in titanium! Such a blast to look back on the glory years of this brand. I miss them.
