Was Panerai forced to build watches and compasses for the Nazi war machine? Or was he a willing collaborator? One thing’s for sure: Rolex aided and abetted the creation of Nazi Panerais. That’s an indisputable fact. The unbranded watches contain Rolex Cal. 618 movements.
The fact that Panerai watches were used by Nazi combat swimmers (Meereskämpfer, Kampfschwimmer, Einzelkämpfer) during WW2 is without a doubt the darkest chapter in G. Panerai e Figlio’s history. The involvement of Rolex is unknown. But what the marketing departments (understandably) downplay is that some of those pilots wearing IWC watches were German Luftwaffe (Nazis) and Panerai’s Italian frogmen were Decima Flottiglia MAS, early amphibious commandos responsible for sinking Allied ships in WWII. The truth is complicated. Panerai’s first Radiomir watches were developed in 1936, produced in a run of 10 pieces in 1938 and improved upon in 1940 with reinforced lugs.
