Panerai

For watch enthusiasts, Panerai represents a unique synthesis of style, function and innovation. Founded in Florence in 1860, and manufactured today in a purpose-built Neuchâtel factory, the brand brings together Swiss watchmaking expertise with a distinctly Italian design vocabulary. Explore the Selfridges Panerai range to discover our favourite pieces from this renowned men's watch brand.

For much of its history, the label manufactured timepieces exclusively for naval use. So, as you might expect, dive watches are something of a Panerai brand speciality. You'll spot several here, fitted with hermetic dials that are water-resistant to 300 metres. Wear yours as you swim lengths at the pool or relax in the bath, and be confident that it will remain as robust and precise as the day it was built.

Styles range from seriously sporty to downright dapper. Choose one with a titanium case and a durable fabric strap, and you'll be equipped for the most demanding of outdoor adventures. Need to stay on schedule for that next important meeting? Go for a slim stainless steel piece, furnished with a minimalistic face and a supple leather strap, or a simple monochrome option with luminous markers and hands. Whichever timepiece you choose, you can expect it to provide years of enjoyment.
