Panerai’s story begins not in a workshop but in a war room. Founded in Florence in 1860, the company supplied precision instruments to the Italian Royal Navy — including dive watches built to withstand the extreme conditions faced by naval commandos. The oversized cushion case, the crown-protecting bridge, the luminous dial: these weren’t design choices. They were survival requirements. When Panerai finally offered these military instruments to the public in 1993, collectors immediately recognized something no other brand could replicate: authentic military provenance in a luxury package.
