Notes

This watch is in new condition and is the pre-series to the new Italian Navy Panerai wristwatches. No 01 - Engineer Zci No 02 - Engineer Lanni No 03 - Engineer Zavattaro No 04 - Deputy Chief Principal The last consignments of Panerai to foreign military forces were made in the 1950's. Many Forces were among their clients, including the "Kampf Schwimmer" of the German Secret Services. Nevertheless, the Florentine manufacture went on with its production of precision instruments, but exclusively for the Italian Military Navy.
