Reissue of Classic - Panerai Luminor Marina Militare PAM05218

Prior to 1993, the brand exclusively supplied watches to military personnel before officially shifting its focus to the public market, ushering in the so-called "Pre-Vendôme" era. Among the models launched to the public in 1993, besides the well-known Luminor 5218-2021/A and Mare Nostrum 5218-301/A, there was another military watch that was never publicly released but is highly sought after by collectors: the Luminor Marina Militare 5218-202/A. Today, it serves as the inspiration for the Panerai Luminor Marina Militare PAM05218. Buy top clone watches online, buy Panerai Luminor replica watches at twatchclone.ru.

 The PAM05218 retains the spirit of its predecessor at its core, remaining faithful to the original design while comprehensively enhancing its performance and structure with modern watchmaking technology. This is the first time Panerai has so faithfully reproduced the appearance of the 1993 military watch. The case adopts the classic Luminor shape, made of stainless steel, with a diameter of 44 mm and a thickness of approximately 13 mm. The surface has a matte sandblasted finish, but instead of using the original PVD coating (due to its weaker scratch resistance), it uses a black DLC coating, which retains the black appearance while significantly improving hardness and wear resistance.

The remaining case features retain classic Panerai elements: domed sapphire crystal, the iconic crown guard, and 300-meter water resistance. Besides the distinctive all-black case, the PAM05218's dial also accurately replicates the "mismatch" design of the original 1993 5218-202/A—due to the changing color of the tritium material over time, the hands and numerals exhibit different colors: the numerals are deep orange, while the hands tend towards white or light green. The dial features a single-layer structure (not the original sandwich design), inlaid with numerals and baton hour markers, coated with a dark beige Super-LumiNova® luminescent material, while the black hands are adorned with green and white Super-LumiNova®, recreating the unique visual difference of the original. The "Luminor Panerai" and "Marina Militare" lettering retains the font style of the original 1993 version, and the entire dial is matte black to avoid glare.

The closed case back features a screw-in design, crafted from solid stainless steel, and engraved with the "Officine Panerai Firenze" signature and the historical OP logo. Inside, it houses the Panerai in-house P.6000 manual-winding movement, 15½ lignes wide, with a 3-day (72-hour) power reserve, a frequency of 3Hz (identical to the original), and displays only the hours and minutes. The watch features a vintage-style gold-brown calfskin strap adorned with stitching details, paired with a black DLC-coated stainless steel trapezoidal buckle. A black rubber strap and matching buckle are also included.
