summary
What did you think.
Panerai has traditionally ebauched general-purpose movements, but since 2002, they have been developing a number of in-house movements. As a brand with a history as a supplier to the Italian Navy, they place emphasis on developing movements with excellent robustness and stability, which I think is rooted in their tradition. Why not take this opportunity to look for your favorite watch by paying attention to movements that don't get much attention? Many of the representative models introduced this time have already been discontinued and cannot be purchased at authorized retailers, so if you are in the area, please stop by Commit Ginza.
Once again, we hope this article helps you find your favorite luxury watch.
