A massive, robust, and sleek watch such as a Panerai is the perfect fit for any action hero. With the brutal force and amount of combat he faces, a Panerai is certainly the best tool the protagonist can have in his arsenal.<\/p>\n

Initially created as waterproof diving instruments for the Italian Navy during World War II, the watch brand went public in 1993, but with minimal success. Sylvester Stallone spotted a Luminor<\/a> in Rome in 1995, and bought it on the spot. He wore it in his movie\u00a0Daylight<\/em>, and has since become its biggest brand advocate.<\/p>\n

Today, the Panerai enjoys tons of screen time and is usually the timepiece of choice for action flicks.\u00a0Here, we give you\u00a0action stars who choose to wear Panerai: <br> <br> <br> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Sylvester Stallone<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As mentioned, the company can owe much of its success to that fateful encounter with Sylvester Stallone<\/strong> in Rome. Stallone continued to be a major player in the action movie scene, and he frequently wore Panerai watches \u2013 such as in 1995\u2019s Daylight, followed by 2008\u2019s Rambo IV and 2013\u2019s The Expendables. This paved the way for its popularity in Hollywood and among other celebrities.<\/p>\n

He also wore a very large 2009 Special Edition 60MM Radiomir<\/a> Egiziano which has only been produced in 500 units – but the PAM351 (pictured) comes close. Photo from Sylvester Stallone on Instagram<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Arnold was one of the first to wear Panerai watches, and his history with the brand is intertwined with his friendship with Sylvester Stallone. Schwarzenegger was greatly influenced by Stallone. It began when Stallone commissioned a limited-edition version and gifted one to Schwarzenegger, which helped catch the attention of watch enthusiasts worldwide.<\/p>\n

These days, his favorite seems to be his Panerai Luminor<\/a>, which features a stainless steel case and a black croco-embossed genuine leather strap.\u00a0Photo from Arnold Schwarzenegger on Instagram<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
