Our take on the Panerai Radiomir Black Seal 3 Days Automatic PAM00388

The Panerai Radiomir Black Seal 3 Days Automatic PAM00388 is a 45mm cushion-case dive-style watch with a black dial, sandwich-style numerals and a 3-day automatic movement. It is the entry point into Panerai's Radiomir line, with the wire lugs and onion crown that define the family. The best new price is $8,500 at Diamond Source NYC as of November 4, 2026, and only one store lists it new, so there is no meaningful price competition to compare against.

Questions and answers

Is the PAM00388 worth buying over a Luminor?
If you want the wire-lug Radiomir look and a thinner profile, yes. The Luminor adds a crown guard and a more protected case but wears bulkier.
How big does the 45mm case wear?
It wears close to its 45mm size because the cushion case is wide and the lugs sit flat. It suits wrists around 7 inches and up; smaller wrists may find it oversized.
What is the power reserve?
The automatic movement runs for about 3 days on a full wind, which is where the '3 Days' name comes from.
Can I change the strap myself?
Yes, but the wire lugs require screwdrivers and care. Many owners have a dealer do it to avoid scratching the case.
Is $8,500 a good price?
It is the only new price listed as of November 4, 2026, so there is no cheaper new option to compare. Used examples typically sell for less, so check the secondary market if you are flexible.
Is it water resistant enough for swimming?
Yes, it is rated water resistant and fine for swimming and snorkeling. Avoid pressing the crown underwater and have it pressure-tested after service.
