Officine Panerai

Here is some vintage history that may interest you. As you know, the divers received what is called a 'trittico' - a set of watch, compass and depth gauge. The diver didn't necessarily wear all three at once.

 

The actual diving was done in pairs where the divers swam one above the other. The top diver had a watch and a compass and was the 'navigator, while the bottom one had a watch and a depth gauge and was the 'controller'. These divers were connected by a cord in order to maintain a close distance. These cords were connected to the divers by means of a leather strap.
 
In the pics are 2 types of cords , the short one is about 2.5M long and the long one is 5.0M.

 

Hope you enjoy,,,,

And a nice piece of History you gifted to yourself..LOLOL

So, finally, you did it!

This is the Dream of Every True Panerai Fan, this Trittico, my friend.

The Dephtmeter has a patina which is close to the small Egitiano dial, Asi...And the set of cords is just the cherry on the cake!

now, you just have to hunt a Torch, a Diver Suit, and you're ready for a nice Dive in the Red Sea....LOL

Seriously, you're not a Lucky Guy, as I know all the work it needed to hunt and find each piece of this trittico.

But I can tell you that I envy you a lot, my friend.

Can't wait to see it in the flesh!

Best, and huge congrats and thanks for sharing with us this marvellous set!
