A if Life began in 1998...
But since the Re birth of Panerai in 1993, the Mare was released as an Hommage to the Prototype, which was born in 1943, and never produced...
So nice, isn't it?
Best, my friend.

The Mare Nostrum like you've never seen it before.
You all saw classic pics of the Mare Nostrum, pics like this: But did you ever see the Mare under the " loupe " ? Here it is: These Macros enhance the beauty of this dark blue dial, contrasting nicely with the honey yellow tritium indexes, show its perfec...
No, i have never mon ami!
And merci beaucoup for inducting me to this new point of view! Lucky you to be the proud owner of such a stupendous watch! As for me, i guess the only chance if possible is when Panerai decides to do a re-edition one day! Cheers Stephen
Don't be so pessimistic, Stephen
A Mare Nostrum can be found, even if it is not that easy to get one, indeed. And you know what? This is a Manual wound watch... So, blue dial + SS Case, + Manual Wound movement=A Watch for Stephen! LOL Best, my friend. Nicolas
Mon ami, you always make my day!
Thanks for the encouragement! Yes, it does sound like a watch for me! I will keep my eyes peeled open for any opportunity! Btw, one question, what is the size of this Mare Nostrum? Is it above 47mm? 50mm like the original? Thanks as always, and a bientot!...
42mm, Stephen.And who knows IF, one day,
We'll have a re edition, and WHAT would be the size of this Re Edition... Best. Nicolas
Non, votre Honneur!
Great to see the timeless character of that dial in close ups, Thank you Nicolas I have to hurry to add models to my family because I feel like a kid in a "Patisserie"
Not only you mio amico!
I'm feeling like a kid in FAO Schwartz who isn't allowed to buy his favourite toy right in front of him! Let's see what SIHH 09 brings for us this time round! I just cant wait, and as long as its 47mm or above, hand-wound, count me in! Cheers Stephen
What a beauty, wondering if anyone would have a shot of this
the Mare Nostrum and the Rolex Daytona (Paul Newman or the 116520) in a side by side comparison shot. Thanks.
I have been hoping for just
opportunity with a black faced daytona and 008 Mare. A buddy bought a Daytona a few weeks ago but alas a white dial. Still hoping to do so one day. But than again my picture quality is horrifying,,,LOL Cheers Mark in California
Not that Bad, your pics, Mark
As they reveal all the love you have for your Mare! Where is it, by the way? It's been a long time since I didn't see a pic of your Black Beauty... Best. Nicolas
A pic of the Mare and of the Daytona
Sorry, it is just a quick pic, but here you are... Best. Nicolas...
Thanks for the snapshot...
which is better than most pictures I attempt to take In retrospect, the new models like PAM 275, 317, and 310 etc resembles the Mare layout to a certain extent don't you think?...
Stunning macros, Nicolas
Never had a chance to get such a close look Thanks for sharing
To be honest ...
i actually didn't know exactly what a Mare was ... LOLOLOL .... oh oh ... am i cursed now ??? But seriously this dial looks awesome ... and so does the watch ... So thanks a lot for the pics Nicolas .... Filip
Nice watch Nicolas.
I really like the Mare Nostrum, I sold mine 4 years ago to fund a Logo. But every time I see one, I think I want it back. But first I want a Pam 36 (you have make me crazy whit your pics on the ham). O man I love that watch!!!!!!!!!!. the brown colour whi...
Agree on the appeal of the Mare Nostrum, Bas
And personnaly, I find it a bit more interesting than the 36, even if this last one has a lot of interest, as it is the only Vendome Watch coming with a Brown dial + Tritium Indexes, and a titanium Case... But if you make the Pair Logo + Mare pre vendome,...
Someone who understands...
the Mare Nostrum as I know you do....fantastic. The 008 has the same texture as well as a hint of brown/grey to it depending on the light. A masterpiece in every category, weight, dial layout, legibility, wrist presence etc.... One of my favorite pieces. ...
beautiful photos my friend!
thanks for sharing this classic piece, and Happy New Year!!
Nicolas...
...this will probably be the closest I will ever get to one! I love the grain on the dial. Really fantastic! Thanks for the photos! Daos
Amazing macros!
Really nice and impressive pics Nicolas. I love them.... and the ones with this "6" and this "12" are really amazing pics... An impressive watch that I had the pleasure to see and wear, problably the first and the only time in my live.... thanks to you. S...
The watch for great collector I would say...
I'm not the great collector as you are but I do love having watches (especiall Panerai) in my small collection. Frankly speakin, the Mare is one of my most favorite PreVendomes (besides the 201A and 202A). As you said, the facinating balance on the dial b...
Pam 6 / 5218 - 301/ A
Some important differences between these 2 references, although they both share a blue dial. The Differences are about the bezel, and the dial: Mare Pre V: A flat bezel, and a different layout of the dial, with indexes which are more located at the center...
Thank you very much Nicolas.
The pics totally clearify the differences between Mare PreV and PAM006 re-edition. I have to agree that the PreV is the true beauty and I dare say it is my most favorite Panerai chrono. I once saw my friend wear it with the Nato strap and it looks pretty ...
