Its hard not to love a good Panerai... and this happens to be great one. By now most people know the fascinating history of Panerai watches used by the Italian Frogmen during World War 2. Though most people first think of Panerai watches having the iconic crown guard, it was Radiomir which was strapped to wrist of the Frogmen for their missions.

Here we have one of the most beautiful Panerai I have ever seen. The PAM 760 Bronzo is presented in the historically accurate 47mm diameter. Panerai's particular alloy of Bronze takes on wonderful dark copper hues as patina begins to set in and perfectly compliments the dark grainy green dial and blued hands. The Plexiglas crystal is also true to the original military pieces from the 1930s and 1940s.

The reverse side reveals Panerai's in-house P.3000 caliber with a 72 hour reserve across 2 barrels and an oversized balance wheel. A nice aspect to this caliber is that allows for the hours to quickly jump from one to the next (backwards and forwards) when traveling.

A video of the watch's present condition can be viewed on my website here. Complete w/ Panerai triple Box & Papers, original strap and 2nd strap photographed on the watch, and bronze Panerai buckle.

	Established:	1860
	Website:	http://www.panerai.com/en-us/home.html
	Country of Origin:	Italy

Giovanni Panerai (1825–1897) founded Officine Panerai in Florence, Italy in 1860. By 1900, under the leadership of the founder's grandson Guido Panerai (1873–1934), Officine Panerai had become an official supplier to the Regia Marina (the Royal Italian Navy), supplying watches and precision instruments. Panerai watches of this time consisted of cases designed and manufactured by Rolex SA and movements made by Swiss manufacturer Cortébert.

The Florence-based watchmaker produced wrist-worn diving instruments and, between 1938 and 1970, delivered around 1600 watches (~1000 3646, 24 6152, 36 6154, 500 6152/1, 60 GPF 2/56), most of them to the Italian Marina Militare. Two models, today identified as the "small Egiziano" and the "big Egiziano", were also produced for the Egyptian Navy. By 1970, the company ceased to provide watches to the Marina Militare, as they were neither cost-effective nor met the naval specifications. In 1993 it then moved to launch its products to the civilian market. The actor Sylvester Stallone spotted and bought a Panerai Luminor at a jeweller's shop in Rome in 1995 to wear during shooting of the film Daylight. Stallone ordered a small batch of such watches with his signature on the case back, called Slytech, offering some as gifts to friends. This hugely influenced the resurrection of the brand.
