Love the nautical set of instruments Panerai made. PAM 582, 583, 584 and this one. Wish I had the funds to install them in my little boat... But what I do not understand at all: why in gods name is the PAM585 a Quartz?!? Every sailor knows that all true ship clocks are manual wound clocks (with ships bell complication).
Quartz below left replaced for epic 1500-mile cruise
so we had bells in the night time
And there's a clock above the windshield and one in the PC (which took a dive down the stairs in a storm moment)
Redundancy is your friend on the water, I think.
So buy more clocks!

I'd say one or two of each is the best course
My friends Gary and Jim have between them owned about 12 wooden boats. They have electronic navigation and they have charts; they have quartz clocks and mechanical with bells.

Nice pics
Nowadays I navigate with an old iPad and on it an app called navionics which is surprisingly accurate. So accurate I even trust it. Having said that; I never leave port without old fashioned (paper) maps.
