Recently we added another Ref. 3646 / Type D watch with anonymous sandwich dial into our database.
The caseback number is inside the number group of today existing Type D watches, an early low number. One more “piece of the puzzle” is added – our database is growing… The caseback bears a very rare “Kampfschwimmer” engraving with initials that can be connected to a known unit of our database.
Typical features of Ref. 3646 / Type D watches are the “Brevetee Rolex S.A.” stamp in the inner caseback and the Rolex Cal. 618 / Type 1 movement. You can read more about 3646 / Type D watches in our 2nd book “Vintage Panerai – The References” (chapter I.IV, page 84-121)
