Cengi, the owner and designer of Corrigia01 is a pure paneristi. His main intention was not to copy a Panerai.

He wanted to create his own bronze diver tool watch with a max on bronze material to create patina and more space on the lugs to easily put his thicker vintage straps on it. The challenge for sure was to not get to close to a panerai. On my point of view he achieved that. I don’t compare this watch with my 382 which is great.
The design us thus functional driven and if course inspired but historical and vintage watches … eg the dial is inspired by an old Rolex watch. The crown guard is a protection for the crown. On a panerai the function is more to ensure that the crown is properly closed to avoid water entries. So on a first look you might say the same design on the closer look not. A simple crown protection is used by other brands too - e.q. Omega.
So on my point of view u really get and incredible well thoughtful watch full of passion and the eye for details... hand written numbers produced by the same suppliers who is doing the Rolex dials and so on…

I start to like the Corriga even more.

The dial is purer (for example no “Automatic” written on the dial). And though it obviously borrowed from Panerai's design it has its own character.
Looks extremely nice!

And I am surprised how fast the patina developed. In comparison my 5 year old Oris. Here the process took much longer. And doesn’t look so nice. Best Thomas ...
