The birth of the left-handed watch stemmed from a genuine need: the placement of the crown guard on the left side of the case—a configuration originally designed for the tool watches of naval divers—served to free up the left wrist during missions, allowing for the simultaneous wearing of other instruments such as compasses or depth gauges.

The "Destro" (Left-Crown) concept provides Panerai with a design dimension deeply rooted in its heritage and lineage: "It is instantly recognizable and fundamentally driven by functionality; it can be applied across other collections—preserving the integrity of the case structure, dial design, and surface finishes—without hindering the development of new materials."
The PAM01732 Destro has the crown guard on the left side of the case. A feature conceived by Giuseppe Panerai, this configuration allowed combat divers to wear the watch on their right wrist while using a depth gauge or compass with their left hand. The Destro has a matte blue sandwich dial with the same beige Super-LumiNova on the lower plate and hands, but lacks a small seconds counter, a throwback to the straightforward functions of Panerai’s historical tool watches.
