This one represents the best balance of what is right with Panerai.Superb workmanship, excellent legibility, and style.

Panerai makes an incredible watch by any metric, but the wormanship alone justifies their reputation.Fit and finish, and technical excellence in the movements; They are on a par with more expensive watches, and clearly superior to most of the more modestly priced watches.This one has the GMT complication; an extra hand to indicate 24 hour time, either in local or a second time zone.I get a lot of use out of this sort of feature as I routinely coordinate with people in different timezones and travel.

The legibility of the design is of special interest to those of us with less than perfect vision.More than once, the advantages of the classic Panerai designs for aging eyes has been discussed, and I can only echo previous observations.The contrast of the hands and markings against the dial, and the simplicity of the design make these watches exceptionally readable even when the wearer isn't quite ready to acknowledge the need for bifocals.

And Italian style.You might not be fond of Italian food, the reputation of Italian cars' maintenance needs may make you antsy, but you cannot deny that the Italians have set the standard for style since the Renaissance.The Panerai is true to this tradition.A simple dial and hands, a beautifully contured case, and sublime simplicity in the strap make Panerai timeless.At 40mm, this one is also a bit smaller than most of their line, only accentuating the clean appearance and quietly competent functionality.

This one is still out of my price range, but continues to inspire.
