Green dial LE PAMs

Here's the complete set of green dial LEs that just came out, 735, 736 and 737. The pic is not the best but it's the only one my man at OP Singapore had.

All I can remember as fact is that one is a Rad, one's a Rad 1940 and (obviously ) one is a 1950 Luminor. I can't remember which movements are inside or the quantities produced (apart from 200 for the 737) so won't hazard a guess. They are most definitely boutique exclusive though, so you're only going to score one from a boutique, grey or private seller. They're not released to ADs.

I wonder if the 693's (Harrod's LE) shade of green is a little different? Seems so from the photos?

Yes! that's it - I couldn't think what they reminded of but you hit the nail right on the head!.

They are very intriguing.

At first I wasn't sure if I liked them or not - but the more I look the more I can't stop looking so I think I probably answered my own question..

Thanks for sharing the pic Paul. The 737 you got is definitely the best among the Green LE PAMs.

Would like to see one of the straps pictured after some wear and patina. Looks like it would age nicely

I don't speak a word of Spanish but I have managed to work out the following:

735 Rad 8 days 45mm limited to 250 pieces

736 Rad 1940 3 days 47mm limited to 300 pieces

737 Luminor 1950 8 days limited to 200 pieces

Also, looking at the prices, they're a little more expensive in Europe than here but that's probably down to exchange rates.

Great find, Nick

Fantastic post Paul! All three look outstanding. Do you know if there's any significance to the color green? Seems that last year it was blue dials.

There is a significance to the green but I don't know what it is. We need Cru, one of the Nicks, Bill, Mik or Maltie to answer that one.


I've copied the pics from the Spanish article; there's some good ones. I'm loving the Panerai beige leather strap on the 735. The green canvas on the 737 is giving me ideas too

I did say in my incoming thread that it wasn't going to float everyone's boat and I'm ok with that. Do you not even like the Sub LVc?

Other than possibly being a shout-out to the 382/507, I'm not sure if there's much "significance" to the green dials....not that any is needed when they look that good.
