" Panerai’s history marks time itself. Its roots can be traced back to when it was the exclusive supplier of high-precision instruments to the Royal Italian Navy in the early nineteen hundreds.
Riding on submersible torpedoes, the commandos were the protagonists of epic endeavours.
On their wrists, they wore the precision and luminescence of Panerai Radiomir and Luminor models. "
