Italian Navy engineers built it to survive the sea. Officine Panerai refined it to command a room. Piece number 231 of just 1,500 made in this annual run, the sun-brushed green dial is the kind of color that turns heads before the time is even read.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Finished with a stainless steel cushion case where polished bevels and brushed surfaces play off each other like a suit that fits in both the boardroom and on the boat. Wrapped around the wrist is a dark brown calf leather Ponte Vecchio strap with cream stitching, as rich and lived-in as your favorite driving gloves. Crowned by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides, the sun-brushed green dial underneath stays sharp, scratch-free, and stunning at every angle.

Functions include hours, minutes, and small seconds. To set the time, press down the crown protection lever on the right side of the case, then unscrew and pull the crown outward. Turn the crown to advance the hands to the correct time, then push, screw, and lock the crown back down using the lever. Wind the manually wound Calibre P.6000 by turning the crown clockwise from the closed position, approximately 30 to 35 full turns for a full 72-hour power reserve. Water resistant to 100 metres.

Comes as a full set, double-boxed with warranty card, instructional booklet, and green rubber strap.

Like a manual Ferrari in a world of automatics, winding this watch every morning is part of the ritual. At 44mm it wears with the kind of quiet authority that does not need to announce itself. One look says everything.
