Officine Panerai has roots dating back to 1860 when the company was founded in Florence, Italy, by Giovanni Panerai. Panerai built its solid reputation on supplying precision timekeeping instruments to the Italian navy and developing waterproof watches for soldiers who found themselves in extreme environments. More recently, the company moved its headquarters to Neuchâtel, Switzerland, where they have been producing quality in-house manufacture movements.

Formidable, yet elegant. Robust, yet sleek. This hand-wound Officine Panerai Luminor Due 3 Days Titanio possesses the authority to be many things at once.

It is driven by Officine Panerai’s own P.1000 caliber—a consistent and reliable caliber that delivers a convenient three-day power reserve and consists of 152 components, 21 jewels, and 28,800 alternations per hour. The movement also has a Glucydur balance, a KIF Parechoc anti-shock device, and a seconds reset function.

The magnificent and rugged brushed titanium case measures 42 mm in diameter and rests upon a dark blue alligator leather strap with a tang buckle. It possesses a sapphire crystal formed of corundum, a see-through sapphire case back, a water resistance to 30 m / 3 atm, and a winding crown that is protected with a titanium device. The cool blue-colored dial—an exercise in simple beauty—showcases luminous hour markers and three large Arabic numerals. There is a small seconds counter located at 9 o’clock.

Standout features: Rugged brushed titanium case; convenient three-day power reserve; KIF Parechoc anti-shock device; protected winding crown.
