A tribute to the historic timepieces worn during heroic missions.

This watch finds its roots in Panerai’s history, when the Maison supplied the Italian Navy frogmen with essential navigational instruments on their left wrist, and a distinctive Panerai watch on the right.

The first left-handed watch appeared in the 1960s, with the variant ref. 6152/1, which marked a key evolution. The idea was to create a watch that could be worn on the right wrist.

This innovation proved especially useful when paired with a compass or depth gauge, showing thoughtful consideration of diver needs.

Long Power Reserve

Powered by P.5000 calibre, a hand-wound mechanism providing an impressive 8-day power reserve, ‘8 Giorni’ in Italian inscription on the dial, a nod to the lastingness required by Italian naval commandos, inspired by the Angelus Caliber SF240, a movement with a power reserve of 8 days.

It is 15¾ lignes in diameter and 4.5mm thick, very solidly constructed and fitted with a large brush-finished plate with diamond polished chamfering; this almost completely conceals the wheel work, while revealing the balance which oscillates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The long power reserve is achieved by two spring barrels connected in series

The long power reserve was introduced by Panerai to meet the strict requirements of the commandos of the Italian Navy, who had to rely on an instrument of complete and enduring reliability during their missions underwater.

The movement is visible through a sapphire crystal & screwed open case back.

Among its notable features is a dodecagonal screwed case back alongside a distinctive 180° rotation of the components, including the dial movement, the small seconds and the crown protecting device with downward lever.
