Panerai PAM 326

The Panerai PAM 326 Chrono Daylight is another new watch that was just rolled out today by Officine Panerai at SIHH 2009. Part of the contemporary collection, the PAM326 is a chronograph model housed in a 44 mm titanium 1950 Luminor case.

Panerai made use of the OP XII calibre automatic movement in the PAM00326. The movement produces 28,800 alternations per hour and features 27 jewels, 13 1/4 lignes, Incabloc anti-shock protection, Glucydur balance, a 46 hour power reserve, and a C.O.S.C. chronometer certificate.

The PAM 326 features the following functions: Hours, minutes, small seconds, date, chronograph with three counters, and a tachymeter scale. The chrono functions are controlled by brushed steel pushers.

Water resistance is rated at 100 meters, and the stunning blue dial is paired with a gorgeous blue alligator strap and Panerai deployant clasp.

The Panerai PAM 326 dial is covered by a 2.5 mm thick sapphire crystal. A solid caseback is used for the back of the watch.
