whatsappDescription
The Mare Nostrum PAM00716 is a replica of the 1990s watch of the same name, which was itself a scaled down version of a prototype officer’s chronograph produced in the 1940s that was named after mare nostrum, Latin for “our sea”, the Roman Empire’s name for the Mediterranean. So while the Mare Nostrum scores low on creativity, it is in itself an appealing timepiece.
The new Mare Nostrum PAM 716 is almost a like-for-like remake of the “Pre-Vendôme” ref. 5218-301/A that was introduced in 1993 and produced until 1997 or so, in a production run of 990 watches including several dozen for Sylvester Stallone, according to fan-site Paneristi. Introduced before Richemont acquired Panerai in 1997 – the Swiss luxury group was known as Vendôme back then – the ref. 5218-301/A was notable for being the first Panerai without a black dial.
