This ref is powered by the 3dd power reserve mov, the P.3000.It's a simple yet elegant movement. The bridge design is attractive and the mixture of industriall design and grace is apparent when you look at it and difficult to master in the way Panerai was able to achieve. Operating at a frequency of 21,600 bph (3HZ), the P.3000 has a power reserve of 72 hours.

The Sandwich dial evokes the old Pam's look and the "ochre" luminova makes the job.
