Panerai

Panerai made the Luminor Due as a slimmer, lighter version of the Luminor, and with this 2023 model it brought yellow gold into the line. Panerai paired the gold with a green sun-brushed dial and a green alligator strap and offered it only in its own boutiques.

A single pusher at 8 o'clock works the chronograph, and the scale at 6 shows how much of the eight days of power remains. A second hour hand follows another time zone. Panerai made 250 of these in pink gold in 2007.

Panerai cut away most of the blue-finished movement, so you can see its gears and the tourbillon at 10 o'clock. Because the case is titanium, the watch weighs about 105 grams, and a full wind lasts six days.

Sylvester Stallone wore Panerai in the 1996 film Daylight, and around that time the company made these Slytech editions for him. The black Submersible and the white Daylight both show the Slytech name on the dial. Panerai made about 100 of each.

QuarantaQuattro is Italian for 44, the case width in millimeters. Panerai added that size to the Submersible line in 2022, between its 42mm and 47mm models, and on this version it pairs a white dial with a military-green rubber strap.

Each of the 50 buyers of this chronograph got an invitation to Italy to join the Italian Navy's special forces in a series of exercises. Panerai signed the dial Marina Militare and fitted a camouflage rubber strap.

Panerai builds each L'Astronomo to order and sets the sunrise and sunset times for a city the owner chooses. The dial also shows the moon phase, and a scale at 6 shows how far a sundial would differ from the watch that day.
