Panerai Luminor Marina White 40mm PAM00049 2008 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Panerai Luminor Marina Automatic 40mm PAM00049 is a discontinued model that represents a rare configuration within the brand’s historical lineup. Best known for its oversized, military-inspired watches, Panerai seldom offers white dials, making this reference particularly distinctive and desirable among collectors. The clean, matte white dial provides a fresh and modern take on the otherwise rugged Luminor Marina design, balancing utilitarian roots with a refined aesthetic.

Set within a 40mm stainless steel case, the PAM00049 offers a more versatile and approachable size, especially suited for smaller wrists or those seeking a less imposing Panerai. The signature cushion-shaped case, robust crown guard, and brushed finishing are all present, preserving the brand’s unmistakable DNA. The bright dial is punctuated with black Arabic numerals and luminous hour markers, ensuring excellent legibility while offering a crisp contrast against the white background.

One of the most charming features of the PAM00049 is the small seconds subdial located at 9 o’clock—an iconic Luminor detail that brings both balance and visual interest to the dial. Combined with the black hands filled with luminous material, the watch maintains high functionality in low light while preserving a clean, symmetrical look. The date window at 3 o’clock adds practicality without disrupting the overall harmony of the dial.

Powered by an automatic movement, the PAM00049 delivers the reliability and precision expected from a Panerai, housed in a package that feels both sporty and elegant. Its discontinued status only adds to its appeal, as it represents a unique blend of classic Luminor elements with a seldom-seen white dial and wearable 40mm size—making it a compelling option for those who appreciate Panerai’s heritage but desire something a little different.
