It houses a minimalist silver sunburst dial with raised black and polished steel indices, complemented by polished lacquered hands.

It has been cleaned but deliberately left unpolished to preserve its original edges, curves and finish. The plexiglass crystal is brand new and free from scratches.

For sale is a Swiss Made Panerai Luminor Marina Manual Winding men's watch with reference PAM 00003, dating back to 2000 based on its original warranty certificate. The Luminor Marina is one of Panerai's most iconic models, directly inspired by the robust military watches originally developed for the Italian Navy's frogmen units. This early example features the unmistakable Panerai design language, with its large cushion-shaped case, signature crown protection bridge and highly legible dial layout.

The watch features a 44mm stainless steel case measuring just under 14mm in thickness, giving it the bold wrist presence for which Panerai is known. Its bright white dial is paired with blued steel hands and contrasting black lacquered numerals. A small seconds sub-dial can be found at 9 o'clock. The original crown is secured by Panerai's iconic crown protection bridge, one of the defining elements of the Luminor design. The watch boasts water resistance up to 300m. Inside sits the Panerai OP-II COSC-certified manual winding movement, based on the legendary ETA/Unitas 6497-1 calibre. This movement architecture has been widely used throughout Swiss watchmaking and is known for its reliability and robustness.

The example sold here has been worn, but is still in decent cosmetic condition given the fact that it's a tool watch. You will find quite a bit of wear marks on the case, but no overly coarse damage. The sapphire crystal shows no damage or scratches to the naked eye. Please study the photographs carefully, as they accurately represent the condition of the watch without digital enhancements. We are sure that you appreciate honesty, and so do we.

The watch is fitted with a brand new black Hirsch "Mariner" leather strap with contrast stitching and the original Panerai buckle. Included additionally are a brown Hirsch "Mariner" strap, a brown "Grand Duke" strap, a blue "Grand Duke" strap and the original brown Panerai leather strap, which shows significant signs of wear but remains included as part of the complete package.

For sale is an all-original vintage Swiss Made Mawi pocket watch, presumably dating back to the mid 1960s based on the age of the movement inside. This distinctive open-face pocket watch features a military-inspired design, with a glossy white dial, sharply outlined luminous Arabic numerals and elegant sword-shaped hands. A small seconds sub dial can be found at the 6 o'clock position. The dial has aged beautifully, showing no major damage: there are no chips or cracks, while the original printing remains crisp and clearly legible.

The watch is housed in an open-face metal case measuring 50mm in diameter. Inside said case sits a high quality Swiss Made Unitas 6431 manual-winding movement. This calibre is essentially a larger version of the highly regarded Unitas 6497, a movement family renowned for its robustness and reliability. Related Unitas calibres are still produced today and can be found in larger mechanical watches from respected manufacturers such as Omega, Panerai and Hamilton.

The watch has been lovingly restored with attention to authenticity. The movement was completely disassembled, cleaned and lubricated during a full service, and is currently running perfectly. The slight signs of ageing visible on the movement bridges are purely cosmetic and do not affect its functionality. The case has been thoroughly cleaned but deliberately left unpolished in order to preserve its original character and patina. It shows normal signs of wear consistent with its age, but no coarse damage. A brand-new plexiglass crystal has been fitted. The watch is sold as watch only: sadly no original box or paperwork are included with this piece.

Your new timepiece will be packaged with great care and shipped as quickly as possible.

Offered for sale is a historically significant vintage Swiss Made L.Leroy two-register chronograph with reference 21160-5, believed to date from the 1960s based on its movement and hallmarks. Founded in Paris in 1785, L.Leroy built a prestigious reputation as a maker of luxury and military timepieces: at its peak, the brand served as the official watchmaker to the French King, Emperor Napoleon, and the French Imperial family. Queen Victoria famously bypassed many top-tier British makers to name L. Leroy an official watchmaker to the British court, and many historically important names once wore the brand on their wrist: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Alfred Nobel, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Frédéric Chopin, Richard Wagner to name a few. After becoming dormant during the Quartz Crisis, the brand has since been revived, continuing its historic legacy in modern high horology.

The 18k solid yellow gold case measures 35mm in diameter and just over 12mm in thickness, making it fairly substantial for its era. The case hallmarks provide fascinating insight into its origin: the double owl hallmarks and hammer with number 161 indicate production by renowned Swiss case maker Joseph Erard SA (later acquired by Hermès), before export to France. The watch was subsequently assembled and sold in partnership with UTI, a prominent luxury retailer associated with several prestigious names in watchmaking and jewellery (Blancpain, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari,...).

The watch features a creamy silver sunburst dial with raised gold-tone indices and polished hands. The two-register chronograph displays a 60-second counter and an unusual 45-minute totalizer, an upgrade over the more common 30-minute configuration. Power comes from the legendary manual-winding Venus 188 chronograph calibre, forerunner of the modern Valjoux/ETA 7750 found in countless watches by a variety of high-end brands.

The watch was lovingly restored with eye for authenticity, and has received a full service prior to being listed for sale. The movement was completely stripped down, cleaned and lubricated, and is working perfectly. The example sold here has been worn throughout its life, but is still in good condition considering its age. You will find wear marks on the case, but no overly coarse damage. Said case has been cleaned entirely, but was purposefully left unpolished to maintain its sharp edges, curves and original finish. The crown is unsigned and its plating has faded; however, as it may still be the original crown, it was intentionally left unchanged. The flat chronograph pushers also show signs of fading to their plating. The plexiglass crystal is brand new and free from any scratches. The dial is in great condition still, with no notable damage to speak of. Please study the photographs carefully, as they accurately represent the condition of the watch without digital enhancements. We are sure that you appreciate honesty, and so do we. The chronograph comes fitted with a brand new 18mm black perforated leather strap with generic gold-plated buckle, ready to wear. Sold as watch only; unfortunately, no original box or paperwork are included with this piece.
