Overview

The Panerai Radiomir Black Seal 3 Days Automatic 45 (PAM00388) pairs the brand's storied cushion-shaped Radiomir case with the fully in-house Calibre P.9000 automatic movement. At 45 mm in stainless steel, it occupies the commanding proportions that define Panerai's aesthetic, while the three-day power reserve adds genuine practicality. The black sandwich dial, dressed with luminous Arabic numerals, honours the brand's historic tool-watch origins.

History

The Radiomir line traces its roots to Panerai's pre-commercial era, when the Florence-based firm supplied luminous diving instruments to the Italian Navy. The Black Seal designation within the Radiomir family has long referenced that military heritage. PAM00388 was introduced in 2013 and remained in production until 2019, representing a period when Panerai was consolidating its manufacture credentials through the rollout of the P.9000 calibre family. Its run made it one of the more accessible expressions of in-house Radiomir watchmaking during that era.

Notable points

  • Calibre P.9000 is a fully in-house automatic movement offering a 72-hour (three-day) power reserve.
  • The sandwich dial construction layers two plates to create deep, three-dimensional luminous Arabic numerals — a technique rooted in Panerai's military instrument heritage.
  • The 45 mm cushion-shaped stainless steel case follows the classic Radiomir profile, distinguished from the Luminor line by its wire lugs and absence of the crown-protecting bridge.
  • Water resistance is rated to 100 metres, consistent with Panerai's diver-watch lineage.
  • Production spanned 2013 to 2019, giving the reference a defined, collectible window within the modern manufacture era.
