Help me find this reference. Titanium, ETA, Sandwich

Hi,

I’m looking for what I would consider my perfect watch.

Panerai Luminor
Titanium case
ETA movement
Sandwich dial
No complications or seconds hand.
Just a very basic titanium cases Luminor.

Yep, the 176 would be the choice.

I love the 176. I have owned a few over the years, but I always end up going back to the 177. I have one in rotation now on a black rubber b.

Both beautiful watches. Any reason for the choice of ETA movement? Not so long ago I tried on a titanium cased reference (wasn’t sure what it was at the time), although seem to recall an 8d manual wind movement. It felt amazing on the wrist.

The titanium case really suits the Luminors. Love the simplicity of this watch. It has an open caseback too?

Picked up a 116 in May...great choice for what you want, if you can live without the sandwich dial. Dial is Tobacco as well.
