Officine Panerai Nautical Curvimeter model PAM00302 (PAM 302) is intended for measuring distance on nautical charts. The Swiss made measure has two hands. One rotates through 1:10 000 and 1:30 000 scales on two inner concentric scales on the dial. An outer scale has additional graduations at scales of 1:50 000, 1:100 000, and 1:250 000. One complete revolution of the needle around the dial indicates up to 50 nautical miles. A turn of the main indicator dial also moves forward a separate counter at the top of the instruments face. A second hand rotates around this dial and will indicate up to 12 revolutions before starting over.

Panerai nautical curvimeter in the hand:

The measure has a reset button on the side when pressed returns both needle and revolution counter to zero. The instrument is used by moving the small tracking wheel at the base along the lines on a chart. This, in turn, acts on finely manufactured internal gearing to rotate the needles. The action of this analog instrument is extremely smooth, the movement is faultless, and no internal grinding or alterations in internal resistance is felt while in use.

This measure is easily amongst the finest action of any map measure manufactured. This is a quality instrument.

Model PAM00302 nautical curvimeter shown here weighs 64g, feeling suitably robust and chunky in the hand. The curvimeter has a brushed steel case with a polished stainless steel bezel. The face of the dial is black with contrasting white printing and two white rotating needle hands. It has a scratch resistant sapphire crystal face and a solid circular case back, measuring 39.50mm in diameter. The rear of the case has the following text: OFFICINE PANERAI CLASSIC YACHTS CHALLENGE 2007 around the perimeter. Inside this is etched NAUTICAL CURVIMETER OP 6733 and MI 2613178. 6733 is the case number, and the final serial number commences with MI for Minerva and is unique to each individual instrument. The case and dished face are 12mm thick at the extreme. The stainless steel handle is 47mm in length, with 32mm of knurling to improve grip.
