====== Panerai Mare Nostrum ======
**Mare Nostrum** is a diver [[chronograph]] by [[Panerai]]

With this model the watch manufacturer [[Officine Panerai]], so far only responsible for specialized military watches to the Italian navy divers, in [[1993]] entered the public [[wristwatch]] market for the first time. The watches were first produced as a prototype and then partially sold. They were equipped with the [[manual winding]] movement [[ETA 2801-2]], with additional [[chronograph]] module [[Dubois Dépraz]] 3127.

Panerai had already used the name "Mare Nostrum" in [[1943]] for a diver [[chronograph]] for a special model given to board officers that then, however, did not reach beyond the state of a prototype.

All in all, the //Mare Nostrum// series included a total of 990 pieces. Some pieces had been reworked from [[1995]] for the series [[Slytech]]. From this emerged the references PAM 6 (blue dial), 7 (white dial) and 8 (black dial).

Following the phenomenal success of Panerai models from the mid-[[1990]]s, these earlier models increasingly move back into the focus of collectors and watch enthusiasts.
