Nicknamed “Firenze,” this discontinued watch delivers the pure, iconic Panerai look—matte black sandwich dial and bold military numerals. Suited for collectors who value lasting collectability and an instantly recognizable design with strong wear-anywhere practicality.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Features a two-layer dial with Super-LumiNova cutouts, creating striking 3D depth and exceptional nighttime legibility. Displays a brushed stainless-steel cushion case with polished bevels that catch the light beautifully on the wrist. Completes the look with its signature crown-protecting bridge and an oversized knurled crown for bold character and functional security.
Functions include hours, minutes, and seconds. The screw-down crown on the right side of the watch sets the hour and minute hands, while turning the crown clockwise winds the movement. Preserving water resistance, the half-bridge lever locks over the oversized crown to secure the gasket seal during active wear. Includes a power reserve for continued operation between windings.
Comes as a full set, double-boxed with watch pillow, guarantee manual, instruction manual, limited warranty certificate, and strap changing tool.
Signifies the brand’s public debut, transforming a secretive military contractor into a luxury name. Secures a place in any serious lineup as an origin-point reference that later variations can’t replace.
