Panerai Luminor Submersible PAM00389 Amagnetic

Luminor Submersible Amagnetic, the older style

This Panerai Luminor Submersible PAM389 replica follows the Amagnetic model from the years when the Submersible was still part of the Luminor family, which is why the dial reads LUMINOR SUBMERSIBLE. Below it is the word Amagnetic. The black dial uses long cream-green lume batons instead of the round plots of newer Submersibles, with small seconds at 9 and the date at 3.

Titanium case, black insert, Amagnetic back

The case is listed as titanium and has a brushed grey finish. The rotating bezel carries a black insert with small screw heads and roundels at 15, 30 and 45, plus a lume pip at 12. The solid caseback is engraved Officine Panerai, Firenze 1860, Amagnetic and Titanium, with an edition number in an engraved box. It comes on black rubber with a brushed buckle.

From the Luminor Submersible to newer models

The titanium Mike Horn PAM984 shows where the line went later, with engraved bezel numbers and round lume plots. In the same Luminor Submersible case you can also take the bronze-tone PAM382 with a green dial. Compare both in the Submersible and Luminor Submersible range, and read the Panerai Submersible buying notes for the history of the case.

What does Amagnetic on the dial mean?

On Panerai’s PAM389 it marks the anti-magnetic version. On ours it is the dial and caseback marking of this model; like any mechanical watch, keep it at least 5 cm from phones and laptops when it is off the wrist.

How is the PAM389 different from the PAM382?

Same Luminor Submersible case style and layout. The PAM389 is grey titanium with a black dial and black insert on rubber; the PAM382 is bronze-tone with an olive green dial on brown leather.
