Xupes Watch Off Round 4:
Morgan went with a Panerai Radiomir Chrono Special Edition from 2003. It’s our first Panerai entry and it’s also, surprisingly, our first big watch entry—44 mm from lug to lug. Always on the large side, the original Radiomir was designed for Italian frogmen who needed a resistant watch that could be read easily while underwater. That explains those features that have since been used in almost all Panerai watches: hefty cushion case, simple and legible dial, lume, and an easily swappable strap.
