Fun facts:
After Panerai left for Switzerland a whole community of expert craftsmen and parts suppliers were left behind in Italy and this is when Anonimo (Italian for Anonymous, underlines the philosophy that these watches are not about the branding hype but more about who is wearing them) brand was born.
Special manufacturing technics were used where "the case is "scooped out" on a lathe and machined from the inside as opposed to "stamped out" that most use, making it much stronger! This method of manufacturing prevents excessive stress in the metal" - from the book History of Anonimo Watches by Steven Burn.
