Panerai is a renowned Italian luxury watch brand known for its distinctive design and deep-rooted military heritage. Established in Florence, Italy, in 1860 by Giovanni Panerai, the company initially specialized in providing precision instruments and equipment to the Italian Royal Navy. This included luminous devices for underwater use, leading to innovations in luminous paint, known as Radiomir.

In the 1930s, Panerai created its first prototype dive watches for military use, featuring Radiomir-painted dials for improved visibility underwater. The brand further developed its iconic design in the 1950s with the introduction of the Luminor, characterized by its unique crown-protecting bridge.

For decades, Panerai watches were exclusive to military and professional divers. However, in the 1990s, the brand transitioned into the luxury watch market, offering civilian versions of its iconic timepieces. These watches gained popularity among collectors and enthusiasts, cementing Panerai’s status as a symbol of Italian craftsmanship and military heritage, combined with Swiss watchmaking precision. Today, Panerai is celebrated for its bold, robust designs and continues to be a sought-after name in the luxury watch industry.
