At a glance, watch enthusiasts would say: " A Panerai".
The truth is, this is Not Panerai.
This is a piece of diver watch in almost identical watch case like a Panerai Submersible.
Though the watch is not signed on its dial, it was produced by an independent watchmaker in the USA. The brand is called 'Navale'. I was told that their watches are not in mass production.
The watch dial is specially treated with the look of shipwreck rusted steel, very unique.
It completes with a diving rubber strap.
It is heavy on wrist because of its large size and solid stainless steel case.
The watch movement is automatic winding.
For those who do not want to pay for Panerai's marketing/advertising costs, this is a very good alternative. Mind you, it is accurate enough for sports (and diving) and the feel on my wrist is excellent.
