Panerai Luminor Submersible PAM00024 PAM24 Tritium D Serial - 2001
Panerai Luminor Submersible PAM00024 PAM24 Tritium D Serial
The PAM24 was a staple of the Luminor range for many years, and the most popular model produced in the Submersible range. Featuring a classic 44mm Luminor steel case, 300m water resistance, uni-directional bezel, sub-seconds and a date it makes for a practical and great looking dive watch.
This particular example is that little bit more special as it's an early D-serial, and for those in the know with Panerai, the earlier the better. These featured tritium dials, and in this example that dial has aged to a lovely eggshell patina. The hands are lighter in shade than the dial, and show scratching and light corrosion as is typical of this era. Unsure if the hands have been stabilized at some point as there's a touch of lume on the tip of the seconds hand. All hands glow blue under UV, and dial Tritium glows green under UV.
The watch has been worn as a daily for a number of years, and shows wear commensurate with that use. Has scratching, scuffs and pin dents throughout, and a flattening on the bottom of the crown guard. The bezel has a solid action, shows scratching and scuffs, and the lume pip at 12 is a similar colour to the hands. Glows brighter under UV, and remains lit longer so appears to be luminova. Has a scratch along the crustal running from the mark on the bezel near the 8 marker across towards the 2 marker. It's not deep, but can be seen on certain angles.
Mechanically running well. Was service by a local watchmaker in 2020 according to the owner, and is running at around - 5 secs a day at mid-200's amplitude.
Currently mounted to a Panerai rubber dive strap on tang buckle, and also includes another rubber with Panerai deployant, Panerai textile strap and some aftermarket buckles.
Includes inner box, warranty card (expired), Panerai rubber strap with tang buckle, Panerai rubber strap with deployant clasp, Panerai velcro strap and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
Great, early example of a now discontinued piece and an important model within Panerai's history.
