Luminor Tre Giorni
Every element, from the case size to the timeless calf leather strap, has been designed to reflect distinctive archival elements, a tribute to Panerai rooted history in essential functional design.
Homage to its historical roots
A hallmark of Panerai’s heritage, PAM01628’s robust 47mm case is inspired by the watches worn by Italian commandos during their daring underwater missions, where the larger diameter enhances readability, a crucial feature for a tool watch.
The case features a patina finish, achieved through a precise process, resulting in a matte look. Creating the patina finish involves hand-applied techniques by skilled craftsmen - a type of polishing that gives the case a slightly worn and aged appearance reminiscent of the natural wear that vintage Panerai watches would exhibit over time.

Inspired by vintage calibres
Powered by P.3000, a manually wound movement with a three-day power reserve, achieved through two barrels.
Renowned for its robustness and reliability, the manual winding mechanism allows for a more hands-on experience for the user.
The design and construction of the P.3000 calibre draw heavily from Panerai’s archival movements used in the 1960s, replicating the functional and aesthetic qualities of these vintage calibres.
The finishing of the P.3000 is intentionally clean and utilitarian, reflecting the practical needs of military divers who first used these reliable instruments.

Sandwich Dial & Super-LumiNova®
Panerai created the sandwich structure in 1940s to achieve maximum legibility even in very low-light conditions. This dial was made of three parts: the upper plate was drilled, and the lower plate was covered with a luminous substance.
The upper and lower plates were joined with a transparent Plexiglas® disc.
The watch was so bright that during night-time operations, the underwater commandos had to cover it with mud or seaweed to avoid being spotted.
The sandwich construction has progressively evolved and is currently composed of only two superimposed plates, the lower one filled with Super-LumiNova®
