2003 Panerai Luminor Marina Automatic PAM00070 – 40mm, Blue Dial, Leather Strap, Certified Panerai Service

Info

The Panerai Luminor Marina Automatic reference PAM00070 is a surprisingly well-balanced timepiece that blends the strong identity of the brand with a compact and versatile 40 mm case—an uncommon size within the Marina line. It retains the iconic presence and rugged charm of a Luminor, but in dimensions that suit slimmer wrists or those who prefer a more discreet yet still impactful watch.

What immediately draws attention is the deep blue dial—a rare and elegant choice for Panerai in this era, capable of reflecting light with refined and ever-changing tones. The clean and symmetrical layout features stick hour markers, Arabic numerals at 6 and 12, a date window at 3 o’clock, and a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock. Everything is housed in a satin-finished cushion-shaped steel case, complete with Panerai’s unmistakable patented crown-protecting bridge.

Inside beats a reliable automatic movement, based on the OP II calibre (ETA 2824-2 base), ensuring precision, durability, and ease of maintenance. It’s a no-nonsense mechanical heart—simple yet effective—ideal for everyday wear. With a water resistance of 300 meters, the PAM00070 is more than ready for daily life, travel, or even the occasional dive.

Produced during a time when Panerai was exploring new stylistic directions without losing its core identity, this 40 mm Luminor Marina with blue dial remains a sought-after reference for those who appreciate the Panerai spirit with a more refined, contemporary twist. A discreet gem that doesn’t need to shout to be noticed.

Case, Bracelet, Dial & Glass

The 40 mm stainless steel case is in excellent condition, virtually like new, thanks to a professional polishing carried out during a recent service by an authorized Panerai service center. The alternating polished and satin-brushed finishes are beautifully preserved, restoring the watch’s original elegance and presence.

The blue handmade leather strap, not an original Panerai component, is also in excellent condition. The inner lining shows minimal signs of wear, indicating very limited use, while the outer surface appears well-maintained and free from significant wear. It has been professionally sanitized, including ozone treatment, to ensure maximum hygiene and comfort on the wrist. The pin buckle in stainless steel, also non-original, is in outstanding condition with no visible marks.

The deep blue dial—this reference’s true hallmark—is perfectly preserved and captivating. Its intense, even tone gives the watch a distinctive personality and offers a rare balance between sporty boldness and refined elegance.

The sapphire crystal is crystal-clear, with no scratches or blemishes, providing a sharp and luminous view of the dial in all lighting conditions.
