One of these days!!! 26.gif courtesy of the Panerai Wristwatch Blog: PAM307 - Luminor 1950 Pangaea Submersible Depth Gauge The Panerai PAM307 is a special edition watch from 2008. The watch has a depth gauge function and an unusual depth rating of 120 metres. Unusual in the sense that most Panerai submersibles have a depth rating of 300 or even 1,000 metres (e.g. the PAM243).  Luminor 1950 Pangaea Submersible Depth Gauge Another remarkable fact is that the watch is powered by a mechanical OPXV calibre, but the depth gauge function is battery powered. The yellow depth gauge arrow is used to both show the maximum depth of a last dive, and to indicate the remaining battery power.  47mm titanium case, blue dial and yellow depth gauge markers The dial has a very nice blue color and the depth gauge markers and arrow are yellow. The 47mm case is made out of titanium but the button that is used to operate the depth gauge function is made out of stainless steel, as is the crown. Considering its size, the watch is remarkable light. As may be expected from a dive watch, it comes with a rubber accordion strap with a large size titanium buckle. A second interchangeable strap is also supplied including a push pin tool to change straps and a screw driver to change the buckle.  Caseback with Mike Horn's Pangaea expedition logo The watch sits high on the wrist, it has a high case but also a rounded case back (above). The case back has the logo of Mike Horn's Pangaea expedition engraved.  1950's case with Reg. T.M. engraved in the crown guard The PAM307 has a 1950's style case and - shown in the above photo - it has Reg. T.M. engraved in the crown guard. In case you haven't noticed, this is true for all 1950's style Luminor watches, e.g. the 127, 233, 243, 312, 320 and so on. Lighting setup  Elinchrom studio strobe camera left, snooted Nikon SB900 for the background The above photo is one of my favorites. Normally I use only small Nikon strobes to light the watches, but this time I used a radio triggered (Skyport) Elinchrom studio flash through a large softbox. The light accents were done by use of small Nikon strobes in slave mode. The background in the above photo is gift wrapping paper and the light spot was created with a snooted Nikon SB900 strobe. Using large lights poses many new challenges but it did allow me to make the blue dial pop more than would have been possible with just smaller strobes. Or at least, that's what I think. All 31 photos that I took of the PAM307 can be found on paneristipix.com.

I have seen this amazing watch and wore it on my wrist for about 15 minutes a couple of months ago at an AD in Singapore. It is a very robust and heavy watch; also unique because a quartz battery powers that very bright depth gauge. This what dreams are made of but my pocketbook simply can't give this a chase  . Maybe when I win the lotto But this is really a toss-up between this and the Egiziano.... Thanks for posting, Oscar.

Amazing watch. In reality I doubt if one of these will ever see the ocean at all. Most divers use sophisticated diving computers nowadays anyway. My guess is 100% will be sold to watch fanatics.............like us!

Beautiful pics of an incredible machine The 307 and the 193 (the non-Mike Horn Panaea version) are not classified as watches per se by Panerai but as professional diving instruments hence their different depth ratings. I got to try on a 193 a couple of years ago. The 47mm wears very nicely because of the titanium construction. It would be a real beast if it was in SS.
