Birth year watches
Watches made in 1997.
Panerai was bought by what became Richemont in 1997 and turned from an obscure Italian military supplier into one of the most recognisable brands in watchmaking. Large watches got a great deal larger afterwards.
Ordinary 1997 watches sit right before that shift. Sensibly sized, well built, and much better value than what followed.
