Photo series “Vintage Panerai instrument of the week”
by Volker on Apr.26, 2010, under General
Officine Panerai underwater torches produced for the egyptian navy in the 1950’s.
The plexi tube was changeable for two functions: clear part on top for floodlight use (large photo), black part on top for spotlight / signal use (small photo). The plexi tube has windings on both ends and can be changed by the unit while operating underwater.
The torch can be switched on/off by turning the knurled wheel.
