The history of this Panerai Luminor Marina
The history of Officine Panerai begins in 1860 in Florence, when Giovanni Panerai opened his workshop and first watchmaking school. Initially a supplier of precision instruments to the Royal Italian Navy, the brand created legends such as the Radiomir and the Luminor. This Panerai Luminor Marina Quaranta Verde watch, reference PAM01304, marks a contemporary milestone in this saga. While the historic models of the 1950s featured imposing diameters, this “Quaranta” edition returns to a 40-millimetre size, ideal for everyday elegance. Launched as an e-commerce exclusive, this rare watch was produced in only 500 examples worldwide. It embodies the renewal of Italian style, capable of seducing urban enthusiasts while preserving the robust, military DNA of its ancestors.
Case, calibre and strap of this Luminor
The case of this watch is crafted in brushed stainless steel and measures 40 mm in diameter. It integrates the famous crown-protection device, an inseparable visual signature of the Luminor collection, which ensures water resistance and protects against shocks. The dial is the centrepiece of this model: it displays a matte military green with a sandblasted finish, very different from traditional black dials or navy versions. Its “sandwich” construction, typical of the brand, offers exceptional luminosity thanks to the cut-out hour markers and hands revealing the luminescent material beneath. Inside, the timepiece is driven by the P.900 calibre, a high-precision self-winding mechanical movement. With its 23 jewels and frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, it delivers a comfortable 72-hour (3-day) power reserve, a quality standard for a modern pre-owned watch. The supple, hard-wearing green rubber strap perfectly complements the sporty aesthetic and is secured by a steel pin buckle.
Why this Panerai watch
Purchasing this Panerai Luminor Marina is a unique opportunity to secure a collector’s piece. Limited to only 500 examples, it offers an exclusivity not found on large-series Panerai Luminor models. This “Verde” configuration is highly sought-after, as it was sold exclusively online by the manufacture. On the pre-owned market, it represents an outstanding price–pleasure balance. More versatile than a massive Submersible and more robust than a classic Panerai Radiomir, it adapts to all wrists. It is a luxury watch that retains a strong following among collectors. It allows you to stand out with a subtle dial shade, symbolising the Swiss identity of the movement and Florentine design. Acquiring this model means owning part of Panerai’s modern history, a true tool watch turned style object.
