Panerai Mare Nostrum Pam 300 Limited Edition 88/99 NOS Full Set

The return of a legend: Panerai Mare Nostrum Pam 00300 Limited Edition 88/99 , year 2000.
The Mare Nostrum, I mean the original one, was a Prototype designed for Italian Deck Officers in the 1950s, but as History says, it was never produced.

So, this watch is a kind of Chimera, a ghost, every Panerai fan has dreamed of it but never seen it live, except at the Panerai Museum. A 52mm beast that mounts a hand-wound Angelus 215 chrono movement , today a Minerva movement renamed the Panerai OP XXV caliber with two counters, we can really say that the Pam 300 is a true Riedition of the 1943 prototype.

Satin-finished steel tonneau case 52 millimeters water resistant 30 meters/3 bars. Satin-finished steel bezel. Two-tier black dial with luminescent hour markers and Arabic numerals, minute counter at 3 o’clock, continuous seconds at 9 o’clock, central chronograph seconds hand.
The Pam 300 is a wonderful watch, with incredible strength, presence and symmetry, and true to the prototype in all its features. Green fabric strap.

The limited edition: 99 pieces is nothing, and most true Panerai lovers will end up without one. In addition to being rare because of its low production rate is the rarity of finding it NOS after 24 years since its release.

Finally The number of this watch: 88.

The angelic number 88 is auspicious and carries with it an amplified energy. In Chinese culture, 8 is a lucky number associated with luck and material wealth.
Let’s look at it this way: this number indicates financial stability and abundance, and in a 52 mm watch I think it’s all there.
