Panerai's Mare Nostrum chronograph wristwatch was originally designed for use by deck officers of the Italian Navy in the 1940's. Very few were actually produced in 1943, but due to the war, the model never went in to full production, and remained in the prototype stage. After Panerai ceased production in the 1950's, and resurfaced in 1993, they reproduced the Mare Nostrum chronographs in a small series. The Mare Nostrum model has a number of different features from other Panerai models, lacking the cushion-shaped case and patented crown locking bridge, and featuring a tachometer scale on the bezel. Two other editions of the Mare Nostrum were introduced during the Pre-Vendôme period, and featured the same steel case, dark blue dial, ETA 2801 caliber and Dubois-Depraz 3127 chronograph module. The Ref. 5218-302 Slytech Edition featured a tachometer on the bezel and the word "Slytech" on the dial, and was produced in a limited edition. The Ref. 5218-304 Slytech Edition featured a smooth bezel and the word "Slytech" on the dial, and was also produced in a limited edition.
A total of 10 prototype examples were produced, and then 492 examples of the pre-Vendôme model, and 63 Slytech models.
The model features a Dubois-Depraz 3127 chronograph module. Dubois-Depraz has been run by the family since it's opening in 1901, and produces modules that sit on base movements, and add additional functionality. They specialize in chronographs and calendar mechanisms, and many of the major luxury brands work with them.
The Mare Nostrum model is described and illustrated in The Panerai in Florence by Dino Zei.
