Is there a Panerai with these specs?

I am sorry to start another one of these threads, but I have been looking for awhile with no luck. I got to try on a 233 and fell in love with it. I have had a 177 and 359 before so I am familiar with those sizes. I am looking for a Panerai with the following:

-44mm (Crown guard Model)
-Sandwich Dial
-Sub seconds
-Date (no cyclops)
-Manual Wind (auto's are a little thick for my wrists)
-Power reserve meter (rear or dial is fine)

The reason I dont just get the 233 is that I don't need a GMT function, so I figured I could save some money looking for one without that feature.

Thank you for any and all help!

438.... But it's Auto.
The GMT hand tucks nicely behind the hour hand!

You've already had a 359 which almost hits most of these points without the manual wind and power reserve. I love my 359 wish it had a power reserve meter.

233 is one of my favorite Panerai's

Checking those boxes, you're looking at GMT or EOT models.

Thank you guys! I may just be saving for the 233 then. And to Lordofrolex, I do miss the 359, if I were to go that route again, I would probably do the 312 instead (which I am heavily considering).

I'd pick the 359 over the 312 all day every day. The 312 is a very nice piece but the 359 is awesome.

Good luck in your hunt

Agree and also the 312 is very heavy
