Italian Royal Navy Panerai


...Vintage Panerai Coolness...

Italian Royal Navy Panerai

This is about as old-school vintage Panerai as it gets! This is a very cool image of two Italian Royal Navy commandos, and the man pictured on the right, is wearing an original vintage Rolex made Panerai. He is standing next to a fellow Italian Royal Navy commando wearing a re-breather suit.




So which Panerai model is the man wearing in the photo above? I don't know for certain, but my best guess is that he was wearing a 3646, similar to the one pictured below, which was made the late 1930s. You can always learn much more about the history of Panerai by visiting my story named The Complete History Of Panerai.



Notice the vintage Panerai pictured above has its wire lugs welded to the case. This means that if you wanted to change the strap, you would have to not only cut of the old one, but you would have to sew the new one onto the watch!
