Panerai PAM00382
At 2012 SIHH, Panerai Submersible 1950 3Days Automatic Bronzo watch PAM00382 was launched and caused a sensation. Panerai used more powerful exterior design instead of the design for Arabic numeral hour markers, sandwich dial and traditional hour and minute hands. Watch case, bezel, lugs and the device protecting the crown were made of bronze in ancient style. 4-millimeter-thick sapphire crystal was made of corundum. Titanium links connects sapphire case back with the ring. Simple but powerful dial in blackish green and overall bronze watch case are enough eye-catching.
