Looking remarkably close to a radiomir welded lug.

Which is very close to the Rolex... Which was the original case for a Panerai. [nt]

..... with a movement from Aegler.

And the lugs are soldered on (not welded). - almost all lugs are soldered onto the case.

Nice watch [nt]

Wow! Do you know the reference by any chance? Since we don't have a hybrid Panerai-Patek forum, I'll move it to Patek :-) [nt]

It's a Panatrava! (Or is that a Calamir?) [nt]

Maybe paterai

Or calatrai

PS: Here it is according to a simple online search, it's ref. 3525, which appears to have been produced from 1960 to 1970. It's indeed dubbed the "Calatrava Radiomir". Nice find! ;-) [nt]

So "Calamir" it is, then! ;-) [nt]

Has a nice ring to it - like "Batman" or "Snowflake."

Looks remarkably like the radiomir... hmmmm
