The Panerai Luminor PAM 560 8 Days was created as an homage to some of the earliest Panerai timepieces. It has a clean, uncluttered dial and classic Panerai styling, as well as an impressive 8-day power reserve. The Panerai Luminor PAM 560 utilizes their own in house movement and a lever lock system that plays dual function, both as a crown guard and as a pressure seal over the crown to keep water out.

The History:

Beginning in 1860, Guido Panerai & Figlio in Florence, Italy began producing high precision instruments, built for the Royal Italian Navy. In 1938, as Officine Panerai, they began producing wristwatches for the Italian Navy Commandos, with the Radiomir, and later the Luminor. It wasn’t until 1993 that they began to produce versions of the Radiomir, as well as the Luminor for sale to the public internationally.

The Watch:

The Luminor PAM 560 has a stainless steel case, with a sapphire crystal and exhibition case back. The PAM 560 has a black matte dial with Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions. Both the case and lugs are polished, while the crown guard and lever have a brushed finish. It is powered by the in house Caliber P.5000 movement, with an 8-day power reserve, as well as a 300-meter water resistance rating.
