The relationship between Italian watch company Panerai and Hollywood action hero Sylvester Stallone began with the actor being seen sporting his Panerai Luminor in the movie Daylight in 1996 and many public occasions thereafter. ‘When I saw the watch, I immediately felt that it had star power’, said the actor after buying his first ever Panerai in a jewelry store in Rome 1995.

Since then, Panerai has been collaborating with Stallone to create several special edition wristwatches bearing the star’s signature on the case back. PAM202 Slytech is a true diver’s watch with an impressive 1000m water resistance, featuring helium escape valve and chronograph function, suitable for professional diving. While the massive 44mm case offers excellent underwater readability, the titanium case material combines lightness, strength and resilience in seawater environment. This is a wristwatch that exudes masculine athleticism which will appeal to Paneristis who share the same passion Stallone has for the brand.
