The Mare Nostrum watch collection is a captivating series produced by the prestigious Italian watchmaker Panerai. This collection draws inspiration from its history linked to the Italian Navy and naval missions. The name "Mare Nostrum" means "Our Sea" in Latin and was the name given by the Romans to the Mediterranean Sea. The Mare Nostrum collection was originally created in the 1940s to provide Italian Navy officers with a precision watch. However, only a few prototypes were made due to World War II.
