The Panerai 243 1000m 1950 Submersible
I just bought this watch for the second time a few weeks ago, but this time I’m not letting it get away.

I am a total sucker for the 1950 style case. The brushed finish with helium escape valve looks perfect.

The tall, thick bezel is my favorite part about this watch. It almost looks like the porthole on a ship, thus adding to the nautical feel of the watch.

One of my other favorite bits is the crown guard lever. I really like the 1000m engraving. It’s pictured here on a Heroic black calf strap with copper stitching. It’s a great match for this watch.
