This men’s Luminor Base PAM00112 comes in a large size, boasting a sturdy 44 mm round case with fixed bezel that is made from a single block of the premium grade AISI 316L stainless steel with a handsome brushed and polished finish, which both of it sides are covered by the world class 3.5 mm thick sapphire crystal that is enhanced with anti-reflective coating. Aside from these "modern" materials, all the distinctive features of the original Officine Panerai’s Luminor Base including the large minimalist dial as well as the lever crown protection device which shields the winding crown and making it water-resistant are stay intact.
Inside the case, the watch has a highly reliable movement which is developed by the watchmaker in accordance with the dictates of Swiss watchmaking tradition. It is the Panerai OP X calibre, a highly accurate manual winding mechanism that features 17 jewels, Glucydur balance, Incabloc anti-shock device, and Swan’s neck regulator, capable of producing 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour, and provides around 56 hours of power reserve under full wind. Its functions are nicely showcased through the watch’s Black sandwich dial that features Black hands, along with the sizable sticks and Arabic numeral hour markers which all are coated with SuperLuminova so that they are easy to read even in the dark or underwater.
Despite of having a see-through caseback, this gent’s Panerai PAM00112’s water resistance can’t be taken too lightly. Not just 30 or 50 meters as the most of this kind of watches did, this timepiece boasts a pleasing 300 m water resistant, making it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, or even diving. Yet, it may be a bit controversial as the watch comes standard with a luxurious leather bracelet instead of rubber or stainless steel. Doesn’t matter, though. Bold and elegant in Black, this supple yet sturdy bracelet fasten with a tang buckle clasp.
For those who are looking for a classic minimalist timepiece, this mid-end luxury watch would surely fits the bill. It is not only stylish, but also durable, practical, and reliable. Its original suggested retail price is $6,300.00, which is worth for the quality offerings.
