I didn't really read the blog so much, but here is official info..straight from Panerai's site 1936 The first Panerai watch created for the commandos of the Italian Navy: the dial is still a standard type and the steel case has wire loop strap attachments welded to the case and a screw-down crown made by Rolex. 16-ligne Rolex hand-wound mechanical movement. The wide strap originally fitted was made of greased, hollow punched leather, which thanks to its length could be worn over a diving suit. 1938 Production of Radiomir watches begins for the Italian Navy, with a large (47 mm in diameter) cushion-shaped case, wire loop strap attachments welded to the case, screw-down crown, luminous dial easy to read under water in the dark, and a hand-wound mechanical movement supplied by Rolex. The wide strap was made of oiled and punched leather, and with its extra long length it could be worn over the diving suit. Panerai used a Rolex movement through 50's. All it basically was is a Rolex with different name lol |
