It is possible to speak about watches for a long time, if it is Panerai. Panerai cannot brag about the wide model line as many other leading watch manufacturers. But, it is more than compensated by a popularity that is pursuing Panerai watches all over the world. Secret of this popularity of the Panerai’s watches lies in that it is a watch with its unique “man” character. And, this character attracts. Remember that in the “Daylight” film Sylvester Stallone was wearing the Panerai watch (Panerai Luminor Marina). Arnold Schwarzenegger was acting in the “Eraser” with the Panerai. And Panerai watch can be observed on the hand of Jason Stratham in the “Transporter” and “Italian Job” films. So, we see that Panerai indeed is a choice of strong men.
By all its appearance, the watch itself says: “I am for serious adventures, where reliability is of importance, where convenience is of worth and where one can rely only upon itself..” Panerai Submersible is like that. This automatic watch in a firm, massive case is provided with round dial having three sub-dials and a date-window. In spite of the presence of three sub-dials, all figures are written at their places. This is because dial has such an area that could make it possible to locate here at least two more sub-dials if such a necessity would occur.
Special attention is attracted by a rubber band on some PANERAI models (Submersible), where cherished letters of large size – “P A N E R A I” – are embossed. Advantage of the rubber band (in comparison with many leather stripes) consists in its increased elasticity permitting to make the wearing of quite massive watch more comfortable and less sensible for a wrist.
Wheel is provided with unique “protector” invented by the PANERAI Company, which presses it, thus eliminating possibility of accidental rotations of a wheel. Skeleton back shows the interior of this “watch terminator” – automatic movement.
Thus, it can be said with a confidence about Panerai Submersible ( as well as about each model of Panerai) that it is real watch for a real man, for whom watch is not just a decoration, but character of a warrior and fighter.
