Vintage watch connoisseurs know the company best for its naval dive models - in 1935 Panerai was commissioned by the Italian navy to build watches for their commando frogmen (these first Panerais featured movements, crowns, and casebacks made by Rolex) and in the years that followed supplied other Mediterranean based navies with these special dive watches. Collectors have a strong affinity for these early \"original\" Panerai's which can command six figure prices at auction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe watch offered here captures much of what has made the modern Panerai renaissance so successful. The Luminor GMT pairs the unmistakable Luminor case and patented crown-protecting bridge with one of the brand's most useful complications, a second time zone display. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIntroduced in the early years of Panerai's modern production and powered by the automatic OP VIII movement, the PAM 88 became one of the most popular references among Panerai enthusiasts thanks to its combination of classic military-inspired styling, drawing its inspiration from the company's naval traditions, and practical everyday functionality. The model remained in production for many years and developed a reputation as one of the cornerstone references of the Luminor line. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIts dial is quintessential Panerai. The bold luminous Arabic numerals, oversized hands, recessed running seconds register, and arrow-tipped GMT hand create a display that is instantly recognizable from across a room. The outer 24-hour scale allows quick reading of a second time zone, making the watch equally at home on international travel or daily wear. The black dial provides excellent contrast and preserves the purposeful tool-watch character that helped establish Panerai's cult following among collectors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPowering the watch is one of Panerai's fine caliber OP III engines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWe are pleased to offer our Certified Pre-Owned Luminor GMT in gorgeous condition. It presents as a 9.6 out of 10. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt case presents as mint with only fairly light signs of previous polishing. Its dial is like new. Its crystal is 99% mint. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOne of our Master Watchmakers has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with genuine Panerai parts, installing new correct springbars, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $995 value).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is running very strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Panerai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIncluded with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCurrent Retail Price for a new Luminor GMT: $11,400.00 USD + tax\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYour watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.
