Laurent, known as Makilla on WatchProSite, shares his long-awaited acquisition of the Panerai Radiomir PAM 322. His post highlights the allure of this specific reference, particularly its Minerva movement and distinctive tobacco dial. This article delves into why the PAM 322 continues to captivate collectors, offering insights into its unique appeal and the community's appreciation for its horological significance.



The Panerai PAM100 is a distinctive model within the brand's offerings, notable for its departure from the more utilitarian aesthetic often associated with Panerai. This reference presents a refined interpretation, emphasizing precious materials and a sophisticated dial treatment. It caters to collectors seeking a Panerai that blends the brand's characteristic case design with a luxurious presentation, distinguishing it from tool-watch oriented references.
This particular reference features a 40mm pink gold case, providing a substantial yet wearable presence. The watch is equipped with a mechanical movement, offering a power reserve suitable for daily wear. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, ensuring clarity and scratch resistance. The construction reflects a commitment to traditional watchmaking standards, with attention to both material selection and finishing.
The PAM100 appeals to collectors interested in Panerai's exploration of high-end materials and finishes. Its diamond dial further positions it as a piece for special occasions or as a statement watch within a collection. This reference represents a facet of Panerai's production that broadens its appeal beyond its traditional military-inspired designs, offering a more opulent option for enthusiasts.
I continue to be amazed by these early PAM’s: titanium + Minerva movement? I can only imagine how marvelous this combo turned out. Enjoy it, do share some wrist shots in natural light, if you can
Didn’t realize these were a thing. Which other Panerai references have a juicy movement like this?!
Well done...amazing piece...fantastic!
It’s a great watch. Congrats! With this you just don’t need any other Panerai. It’s…well, it’s basically perfect. So you + me = 2 of the 50 with the tobacco dial here…I wonder if any more are lurking? Best E.
J’espère que tu vas bien
Yeah it is a true marvel for sure. Have been looking for one for quite some time now. The titanium with brown dial is a stunning combo. Will surely post a wrist shot soon Best, Laurent
