Today we are exploring the Panerai Luminor Marina, also known as the PAM 164. This piece features the classic Panerai Luminor case and is 44mm across the round. The watch remains an iconic form with its crescent-shaped crown guard and cushion case. It is not as thick as it appears, measuring 15.5mm thick. The sloped sapphire and conical bezel allow it to be worn with a dress cuff with ease. From lug to lug, this piece measures 53.5mm due to the short cropped and downward turning lugs.

Made from all steel with a solid caseback, the watch has quite a bit of heft to it. Unlike traditional models which are paired with calfskin straps for historical purposes or rubber straps for durability, this piece is paired with a dark brown alligator strap with calfskin underside. A twin-trigger double-deployment clasp adds security to the watch. 

A contrast between the polished bezel and satin finish on the case, giving the watch a perception of refinement. It is a bit removed from the traditional Panerai utilitarian aesthetic. 12 arabic numerals and luminova dots allows for easy visibility in low light conditions. 

The case is fitted with a quick release system that allows one to interchange straps with ease. This eliminates the risk of damaging the lugs of the timepiece. A solid caseback covers a Panerai OP3 caliber. It is COSC certified and has 300m water resistance.
