The PAM00372, hailed by Panerai enthusiasts as the “Uncrowned King”, has been a highly coveted piece since its release, thanks to its pure military DNA and timeless design. The case adopts the Luminor 1950 construction, paying tribute to the military diver’s watch Ref. 6152/1 of the 1950s. The 47 mm stainless steel case is paired with Panerai’s signature semi-crescent crown guard, while the engraved series number and production details on the case flank echo the brand’s historic references. The mid-case is sharply contoured, exuding strength and presence.
What collectors admire most is its cult status as the “Plexi 372”: the domed acrylic crystal offers a warm, vintage charm that contrasts beautifully with the steel case, creating a distinctive retro aesthetic. The black matte sandwich dial with golden luminous indexes and gilt hands adds both utility and elegance, making it the “perfect model” for experimenting with different strap pairings. Powered by the in-house P.3000 hand-wound movement, with twin barrels providing a robust 72-hour power reserve, it combines reliability with traditional craftsmanship. Despite its large 47 mm size, the ergonomically curved case ensures remarkable wearability, balancing rugged appeal with everyday practicality.
This PAM00372 is in excellent condition, with very limited wear. The case and dial have been well-preserved, making it not only one of the most emblematic modern Panerai creations but also a historically inspired tool watch that is truly wearable.
