In 1997, Officine Panerai was acquired through the Richemont Group (then called the Vend^ome Group) combined with the whole military manufacturing branch of the business was closed. A year after, the first group of Panerai watches was given to the public. Large, functional, army watches coupled with pristine Italian layout sparked an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response spawning an admirer club of die-hard Paneristi.American designer Ralph Lauren, who has a large assortment of Panerai antique watches, put his finger on what makes this brand so appealing to men now: “The luxury of Panerai grew from the heritage as well as the purposefulness of every detail. Panerai watches weren’t about the latest style, they were designed to work in specific problems. Their form and beauty were secondary to their purpose; they're rugged, functional and handsome. “The brand new strong association with the sea has taken a more recreational turn and, in 2006, Officine Panerai bought and restored Eilean, a 1936 Bermudan ketch sailing vessel constructed in Scotland. Three decades of restoration ensued to create her back to her original splendour and she or he competes in classic yacht races around the world. The Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge, which started this year with all the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta and will culminate with the Cannes Regates Royales in September, has been going strong now for ten decades and every edition of the race is well known with the launch of a Regatta watch. This year, the Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days watch, has been published in a limited edition of 50 pieces to commemorate the 10th anniversary from the race.
