The Story Behind This Watch

Destro = Left. The crown, obviously, is on the left side of this watch, styled after similar Panerai. However, unlike the real-deal this one is 40mm, rather than 44mm. A slight bummer, but not too much of a bother. It’s still damn cool.

The nice thing about this Pannerai homage is that the crown lock actually seems to work – when closed it applies pressure to the crown, sealing it in. I’m still not going swimming in the thing, but its nice to know.
