Panerai Luminor Submersible Acciaio 44 mm PAM00731 Review

The Panerai Luminor Submersible Acciaio 44 mm PAM00731 watch’s dial is a deep blue color, with applied hour markers (including applied Arabic numerals at “12” and “6”) and hands treated with a bright green Super-LumiNova for maximum low-light (or deep underwater) legibility.

Above the dial is a domed sapphire crystal that features a magnifying lens over the date window at 3 o’clock. Directly across from the date display at 9 o’clock is a small seconds subdial, also with green Super-LumiNova accents, that lets the wearer know at a quick and easy glance, even in darkness, if the watch is functioning.

Inside the case is Panerai’s self-winding OP XXX caliber, providing a 50-hour power reserve after being fully wound. A set of blocky, curved lugs attach the watch to its black rubber strap, which is designed to be easily swapped out with the additional strap provided with each watch.

Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days Titanio DLC PAM00617 and PAM00629, with their DLC coated titanium case, superb and iconic dials and a cool overall look.These two Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days Titanio DLC use modern techniques, as the 47mm case is made of lightweight and resistant titanium, with an even more technical black DLC coating. Both feature a domed sapphire crystal, reminiscent of the Plexiglas crystals used in vintage editions.Both editions feature the Calibre P.3000, an in-house, manually-wound movement, with a 3-day power reserve. It features a quick-hour adjustment, as the hour hand can be moved both forward and backward in one hour increments, in order not to disturb the precision of the watch. Both are featuring an aged brown leather strap with ecru stitching. More Panerai Luminor 1950 replica watches.

Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days Titanio DLC PAM00629, features the legendary California dial (with Roman numeral on the upper half of the dial, Arabic numerals on the bottom half, batons for the quarters and a triangle at 12). This type of dial is now iconic for Panerai and finds it roots in antique military watches (as born in 1936 on the Panerai Radiomir). The hands are made of gold (only hours and minutes are displayed – no second indicator) and the indexes are painted on the dial (that doesn’t come with the sandwich construction).

Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days Titanio DLC PAM00617, comes with a more classical dial, with a two-layer construction (so-called sandwich construction), with a black plate on the top with holes for the numerals and the indexes, and a second plate below that is coated with Super-Lunimova. This edition sports the OP logo at 6, comes with classical black hands (with luminous paint) and features a small second indicator at 9 (which is small and then doesn’t step on the 9 index).
