Panerai PAM01304 – Green elegance – the Italian accent among diving watches.
If you have so far only thought of Panerai as oversized watches that feel like dumbbells on the wrist – then it's time for an update. Or better: for the PAM01304 Luminor Marina Quaranta Verde Militare.
This watch is like a surprising aperitif: unmistakably Panerai, but with a fresh twist. Green, compact, charismatic – and finally wearable for everyone who doesn't have a 20-cm wrist.
A brief dive into Panerai's history
Before we get to the watch itself, a brief look into the depths of the brand's history: Officine Panerai was founded in 1860 in Florence – as a workshop, watch shop, and watchmaking school all in one. The big breakthrough came in the 1930s when Panerai began developing diving watches for the Italian Navy: robust instruments with maximum readability underwater.
The most distinctive design feature? The patented crown protection bridge – iconic in look, functional in everyday life. It prevents the crown from being accidentally adjusted or damaged. To this day, it is the visual hallmark of every genuine Panerai.
PAM01304: Military green, reimagined
And now to the star of this presentation: The Luminor Marina Quaranta Verde Militare, reference PAM01304, invites you to rediscover Panerai.
• Size: With a 40 mm diameter, it is a real game changer. While classic Panerai models with 44–47 mm bring a lot of presence, the Quaranta shows itself much more restrained – ideal for slimmer wrists or anyone who prefers it more discreet.
• Dial: The "Verde Militare" – a deep, matte olive green – does not appear intrusive but confident in style. Militarily inspired, masculine, and at the same time surprisingly versatile. Sporty and elegant at once.
• Case: High-gloss polished stainless steel, precisely crafted. The iconic crown protection bridge remains a striking statement even in the compact 40 mm version with 100% recognition value.
• Movement: Inside works the automatic caliber P.900 with 3 days power reserve. Technically reliable, consciously functional – entirely in the tradition of Panerai tool watches.
• Details: Date display at 3 o'clock, small seconds at 9 o'clock – classic Panerai, timelessly elegant.
Color with function – and attitude
Green has long since become the new neutral color – at least in the world of watches. What used to seem conspicuous is now an expression of style awareness: A green watch does not say "I want to stand out," but "I know what I'm doing."
And that is exactly the strength of the PAM01304: It brings color into play – subtle but effective. A counterpoint to the flood of blue, black, and silver. Ideal for experienced collectors who want to expand their collection – or as an entry into the world of Panerai with personality.

Conclusion: The green elegance offensive from Florence
The Panerai Luminor Marina Quaranta Verde Militare PAM01304 is the ideal compromise between tradition and zeitgeist. Compact, expressive, and with that touch of color that combines understatement with individuality.
