Panerai PAM 00024 A Submersible.
Remove the bloody date, and we are not far from excellence.
Best,

The "clean" bezel and T-swiss made-T dial of the C
are the same as the A and B models. It's also the last 24 with a clean bezel. The 24D has a graded one. 
I don’t think they have ever introduced a no-date Submersible, which is unfortunate.
I don’t know the history of Panerai’s decision to introduce a Submersible line, but I always thought it interesting since Panerais are fundamentally dive watches to begin with. I’m assuming the decision came with their entry into the commercial / civilian watch market.
I must disagree with you there
I think it's already reached excellence just as it is!
(I'm also a fan of the brushed bezel that came in later.)
The cyclops makes it
Without that it would just be an unnecessary date window messing up a simplistic Panerai dial. But the weird under-crystal cyclops ends up adding to the weird textured look of the watch in a way I'm enjoying. I think what I like about this actually comes across in your photos way better than in any of mine!
They have another hit in store
They just need to release the egiziano in 47 or 45 (smaller wouldn't be appropriate).
I miss mine
I had a very early tritium one like this that went with my other Panerai sadly. Truly superb watch. The date with its hidden cyclops is great, but I know we’ll have to agree to disagree.
