45 mm case, a special dial which makes us think of the good old decks on the boats, a manual winding movement and a nicely decorated case back.









Cool strap, too. 

LE of 449 pieces.

Best,

Nicolas



About the Panerai Radiomir S.L.C. 3 Days Ref. PAM449

The Panerai PAM449 is a special edition Radiomir model, distinguished by its historical design elements and limited production. It represents a specific aesthetic within the Radiomir collection, appealing to collectors who appreciate vintage-inspired details and a more traditional Panerai presentation. This reference is notable for its absence of the SLC logo on the dial, a feature often sought after by enthusiasts for its clean, uncluttered appearance. It stands apart from contemporary Radiomir offerings through its adherence to certain historical design cues.

This model features a 47mm polished steel case, characteristic of early Panerai designs, providing a substantial presence on the wrist without feeling excessively thick. It is fitted with a 2.8mm Plexiglas crystal, further enhancing its vintage appeal and offering a warm distortion effect. The watch is powered by the manual-wind Calibre P.3000, an in-house movement known for its robust construction and a power reserve of three days. The polished steel bezel frames a dial designed for legibility.

The PAM449 holds particular relevance for collectors drawn to Radiomir models that echo the brand's heritage. Its combination of a 47mm case, Plexiglas crystal, and a clean dial without extraneous branding positions it as a desirable piece for those seeking a purist interpretation of the Radiomir. It offers an alternative to models with gold hands, providing a distinct visual identity within the broader Panerai catalog and appealing to those who prioritize historical accuracy in their collection.

This could be a good base for a new 210

It will be interesting to see if they follow-up with a more basic model in the future.

I really love this new reference! The only thing I would change is a transparent case back and also wish they would have used a Glucydur balance spring in that movement considering it’s price point

For once, I am happy to see a solid case back. Too many see through case backs, nowadays.
