A Guide to Panerai Watches

Outstanding performance

Fusing Italian design with traditional Swiss technology, men’s Panerai watches, ladies’ Panerai watches and used Panerai watches truly combine the best of both worlds, possessing enormous crossover appeal. Be it the business realm or the arena of adventure, Panerai watches are elegant, practical, glamorous and essential. Such outstanding performance is reflected by no less than Mike Horn, the planet’s greatest living explorer and wearer of the Panerai brand.

Scaling 8,000 metre peaks without oxygen and walking across the North Pole in the utter darkness of winter, Mike needed a watch that matched his own expertise and tenacity. Panerai have been right by his side, producing a series of watches to accompany him on the most dangerous of expeditions: from a four-year circuit sailing all the world’s oceans to the circumnavigation of the Arctic circle. According to Mike, the only item that continued to work at perilously low temperatures was his Panerai watch. He was even able to calculate his position according to where the stars in the sky were situated, all thanks to a rotating bezel designed by Panerai illustrating the four cardinal points.

Panerai watches are water resistant up to 2,500 metres, and their water resistance is without question one of their outstanding virtues. They have played their part in some of the world’s most supreme diving exploits. Guillaume Nery is a Panerai owner, a four-time freediving world record holder and two time world champion.

Panerai watches are handmade in departments where absolute precision and expertise are mandatory. Assembling and adjusting the movements of Panerai watches is imperative, and a superlative level of skill from company watchmakers ensures the utmost accuracy of the watch.

In terms of quality control, men’s Panerai watches and ladies’ Panerai watches are subjected to more rigorous testing than regulation requirements, to ensure that standards are even higher. Be it potential shocks, wear, extreme temperatures, exposure to acids or UV radiation, all inspections are designed to guarantee the supreme reliability and longevity of every Panerai watch.
