The PAM00296 sits in Panerai`s Contemporary Collection as the titanium bracelet execution of the Luminor Marina Automatic 44mm, introduced alongside the 40mm steel PAM00298 as part of the brand`s bracelet-fitted range. Titanium Luminors of this generation are produced in comparatively modest annual volumes and carry an issue number on the caseback, and the full-titanium case-and-bracelet configuration is materially scarcer on the secondary market than the strap-fitted PAM00240 that shares the same tobacco dial.

The tobacco brown dial is one of the most sought-after colourways in the Luminor catalogue, shifting between deep chocolate and warm amber depending on light. The sandwich-style luminous stick markers with oversized Arabic numerals at 6 and 12 deliver the legibility Panerai built its reputation on, while the small seconds register at 9 and the date aperture at 3 preserve the balanced asymmetry of the classic Marina layout. Against grey titanium, the brown reads considerably warmer than it does on steel-cased references.

Power comes from the Panerai calibre OP III, an automatic movement built on the ETA/Valjoux 7750-P1 architecture, running at 28,800 vph across 21 jewels with a 42-hour power reserve and Côtes de Genève finishing on the bridges. The calibre is COSC chronometer certified and driven by a custom Panerai oscillating weight — a robust, field-proven base with a strong service record and widespread parts availability.

Presented in excellent pre-owned condition. The case retains its factory brushed titanium finish with sharp edges and defined bevels, the crown-protecting bridge operates crisply, and the dial and hands are free of blemish or lume degradation. The titanium bracelet shows minimal stretch and the hidden folding clasp engages securely.

Complete with original box and papers, with a certificate of authenticity accompanying the watch. A full-set titanium Marina on its original factory bracelet with documentation intact represents the strongest configuration this reference trades in, and the 300m water resistance keeps it a genuinely wearable proposition rather than a display piece.
