The Panerai PAM 232 is the brother of the “Cali”, or PAM 249. Officine Panerai released the PAM00232 as a 2006 special edition watch, and there were 1938 232’s created in all.The Panerai 232 is a 47mm watch which is housed in a stainless steel Radiomir case. It features a gorgeous tobacco dial with stunning gold hands. The 232 is a great representation of what many feel Panerai is all about… big watches with clean, easy to read dials and classic styling.
Panerai used a hand-wound mechanical, Panerai OP X calibre movement in the 232:
- 16½ lignes
- 17 jewels
- Glucydur balance with Nivarox I spring
- 21,600 alternations/hour
- Incabloc anti-shock device
- 56 hour power reserve
- Côtes de Genève decoration on the bridges
The PAM232’s sandwich dial is covered by a 1.9mm thick sapphire crystal (treated with an anti-reflective coating) and displays hours and minutes only. The solid case back is made of stainless steel and the watch is water resistant to 100 meters.
Panerai used a leather strap for the 232, however it is of surprisingly poor quality.

I agree the leather strap is not nice.The strap changing is very common when it comes to Panerai watches and is all part of the Panerai experience.
The 232 is a beautiful, yet simple very elegant time piece and i love mine very much.
