Panerai Luminor Sealand for Purdey Tiger (PAM00813)

This is a great Panerai Luminor Sealand for Purdey Tiger (PAM00813) watch. Looks even better than the picture. I don't wear it everyday but when I do people can't stop complimenting me on how great it looks. What a deal at the price

Panerai Radiomir 1940 3 Days GMT Automatic Acciaio Tuxedo (PAM00657)

This Panerai is an incredibly durable and fashionable watch. I am going to purchase a second one for a friend. I have worn this watch while taking care of surgery patients, snorkling, garedning, it remains attractive, fashionable and above all in perfect working order.

Review by Americo Eiben, From France Quint Fonsegrives

Ceramic is a material characterized by a combination of metal and non-metal atoms. Known and used by man for centuries, it can also be produced artificially through simple processes or extremely sophisticated methods, which allow high-performance materials to be synthesized.
In the field of watch-making, some types of ceramic like synthetic sapphire or rubies (both varieties of Aluminium Oxide - Al2O3) have already been in use for some time as they satisfy specific requirements of hardness and reliability. In addition, ceramic has established itself as one of the most interesting and successful materials for the creation of cases and other watch components traditionally made from metal.
Panerai Composite is the new material introduced into fine watch-making for the first time by Officine Panerai. Employed up until now in the aeronautic industry and for the creation of automotive and motorcycle components that require a particularly high level of performance, Panerai Composite is obtained through an electrochemical process of ceramization of the aluminium, resulting in a material with unique features.

CHARACTERISTICS AND PERFORMANCE

Panerai Composite is a material harder and lighter than the ceramics commonly used in watchmaking to manufacture cases (zirconia, ZrO2), but is also harder than metals such as aluminium, steel and titanium.

These characteristics make Panerai Composite an ideal material for the creation of watch cases as it guarantees comfort, great aesthetic qualities - it can be synthesized in various colours, resistance to knocks, scratches and high temperatures.
Furthermore, Panerai Composite is ductile, allowing for complex geometries and processing, and is inert, so it does not change its structure or appearance over time.
THE CERAMIZATION PROCESS
The ceramization process of aluminium leading to the synthesis of Panerai Composite is not similar to any other techniques currently in use in the watch-making industry. In traditional coating processes in fact, layers of ceramic dust are applied onto metal and only the topmost surface of the case is involved in the process itself.
With Panerai Composite, the aluminium cases are immersed in a chemical bath where, thanks to a conductive liquid and to the electricity which generates extremely high temperatures (up to 10,000°C), the metal undergoes an electrochemical process that profoundly modifies its structure while still allowing it to remain faithful to the original geometry. The result of this process depends on many factors, including the solution used, the immersion times, the material and the shape of the piece being worked on.
Before being mounted on a Panerai watch, each case undergoes finishing and is put through a series of tests that certify its aesthetic and technical qualities. The result is a material that is extremely homogeneous, solid, of matt appearance and soft to the touch.
The entire ceramization process is totally environment-friendly: the only working residue is, in fact, the hydrogen which separates from the oxygen molecules that become integrated into the case.

The Mare Nostrum, the most mysterious and rarest of all Panerai models, returns thanks to an exceptional re-edition that is absolutely faithful to the main characteristics of this impressive chronograph: case, measurements, dial and production processes. The result is a large watch with big historical appeal and big visual impact.
Mare Nostrum is the chronograph that Officine Panerai supplied to the Italian Navy in 1943 as standard issue for officers on deck. The ongoing historical events put an end to any possible development of this model, of which only a very few prototypes were produced - almost certainly three in total - of which first all trace and then all relative documentation was lost, following the flood that hit Florence in 1966.
Discovery by Officine Panerai of one of the prototypes, now part of the collections at the Officine Panerai Museum in Florence, enabled creation of a new Mare Nostrum an extraordinary model from a collectors' point of view, in a single edition of just 99 examples that reproduce the original right down to the smallest detail.

The Mare Nostrum - 52 mm has an impressive brushed case in three parts and measuring 52 mm in diameter, like the original. With very b lugs, it has a tonneau shape, but looks round due to the wide flat bezel with ridged edge on which, just as on the prototype, a fine circular mark stands out, perhaps due to an unfinished process or a reference mark for a subsequent scale engraving. The screw-down back plate has four grooves to assist unscrewing and this too is in brushed steel, but unlike the original, it features a sapphire crystal window through which the movement can be seen. The cylindrical winding and regulating crown, with the words Mare Nostrum engraved on its ridged edge is of the screw-down type and the pump buttons are cylindrical.
The watch is guaranteed watertight to 3 bar (about 30 metres), a depth that depended on the historical use of the Mare Nostrum. The two reasons for this were that, firstly, the model was designed for use on ships and not underwater and secondly, at that time it was virtually impossible to make the chronographic buttons on a watch totally waterproof for any length of time.
Protected by a 1.6 mm thick anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the dial has a black base and two levels. The outer, upper ring, bears small Arabic numerals, stick hour markers and round minute markers, all coated in luminescent material. The central one level, over a millimetre lower, bears the names of the brand and model and the two subsidiary dials. On the left the small seconds one, on the right the minute counter, set to 45, as was the norm in those days. The considerable gap between the two layers of the dial gives it unique depth and the chronograph hand, unlike the luminescent hour and minute hands, is blue, just like the prototype.

This new edition of the Mare Nostrum uses, like the original, a hand-wound mechanism: OP XXV calibre, deriving from a Minerva calibre that measures 16 ¾ lignes. The balance makes 18,000 alternation an hour, the same as the Angelus movement of the prototype. Fitted with a anti-shock device, the column-wheel movement can easily be seen through the window on the back plate and all the levers are polished with rounded corners.
With reference PAM00300, Mare Nostrum - 52 mm even has the same strap colour and material as the original: military green in leather-lined fabric. The buckle however is different, larger and trapezoidal in shape, like all current models by Officine Panerai.
