The 242.Interesting watch.Part of Panerais normal range in 2006.With a number of 300 produced.Features a Jaeger le-Coultre movement.After 2006 JLC would not provide the movements to Panerai.The lack of watchmakers the most likely cause for this.Worldwide,this is a problem.So,the 300 made in 2006,are the only ones in existance.That makes the 242 a rare bird,indeed.I was lucky to find one at the AD,in 2008.Brand new.

45mm Radiomir casing,,with double crown makes it destictive.The GMT ring,that rotates on the inside,also quite unique.Comes standard on a deployant clasp with a lovely Honey Gator strap.I would have prefered a tang buckle.Amazing depth to the dial,with a slightly concave crystal,with a beautiful small cyclops thats on the inside of the crystal.

This is one of the favourites in my collection ....
