No one anticipated that the small business set by Giovani Panerai back in the 1860 would turn out to be amongst the most successful brands in watch manufacturing. By establishing the brand of Officine Panerai, Giovani Panerai brought his contribution to the watch manufacturing tradition and hoped that his successors would keep the fire burning and will take this company on the peaks of its glory. He was right indeed, as his successors proposed timepieces defying the canons of watch manufacturing, being driven by talent, passion and the desire to innovate.

        The latest release by Officine Panerai goes by the name of Luminor 1950 Marina 3 Days Automatic watch and was presented under the legendary collection Luminor Marina, a collection regarded as a living success of the Officine Panerai brand.

The construction of the case recreates the models introduced by Officine Panerai back in the 1950’s, being especially recognized because of its protective mechanism clamp, located on the lateral side of the case, at 3 o’clock.
