Top 5 #Panerai watches on Instagram

While making watches for Italian Royal Navy divers, Panerai was asked to add a sub-seconds hand No date and nothing fancy, it is Panerai to the core and that's the main reason people look at it as one of the great entryways into the Panerai world The 44mm Luminor is so symbolic to Panerai that you'd be hard pressed to find a fan of the brand that doesn't recognise the piece.

Why: White dials on Panerai watches were at one point considered 'taboo' Now less of a novelty and more a modification of a classic, this edition of the Radiomir shows how Panerai can create truly beautiful dress watches without compromising its identity or aesthetics A lot of people were into the classic Radiomir look but weren't the biggest fans of the wire lugs that make changing straps a bit fiddly - and changing straps is one of the things Panerai fans love most about their watches! The 1940 case is a nice evolution with solid lugs and slightly different features.

Introducing a couple of new 42mm Submersible really opened up the Panerai watch to a new group of fans. . Source
