Mate, I don't really care for something that happened almost 80 years ago (with all respect for people died and affected by that war), but if you wanna get technical, the Decima Flottiglia MAS (special Italian service which attacked british ships and wore Panerai watches) was the reason SAS (British Special Air Service) exists today. So on one hand they go together. I just kinda like the look (and I'm not british, italian or swiss). Cheers
