Notes

Officine Panerai Established in Florence in 1860, the firm of Guido Panerai & Figlio, suppliers to the Italian Royal Navy, produced the first "Radiomir" wristwatches for the Navy Forces and manufactured many different military models until the 1950s. In 1993, Panerai decided to create replicas of their most famous models. All were produced in limited editions, with the same standards of quality as the originals.
