Vendôme Special Editions 2003

PAM 158 Radiomir Split Seconds Chronograph

The PAM 158 is probably the final refinement of the line started with the PAM 47, and continued last year with the PAM 147. A 42mm platinum Radiomir case houses a very fine Venus calibre 185 split seconds chronograph with a coaxial pusher set into the crown.

PAM 172 Luminor Tantalium

PAM 195

Potentially the most contentious special edition ever, the PAM 195 was concieved as a "collectors only" watch. Basically a standard Luminor Marina, the watch also sports the original OP logo on the dial, and a PVD case. What makes the watch unique is that the name of each (original) buyer is engraved on the caseback.

PAM 206

A very interesting watch, to commemorate the Florida Marlins world series championship of 2003. This watch is basically a customised PAM 104, with a specially engraved caseback.
