Jason Priestley wearing a Panerai Luminor worn with a Panerai leather strap
You may have heard of Jason Priestley wearing a Panerai Luminor at a black tie affair. He is none other than world famous Canadian born Actor and Director, most famous for his role in the popular and long-running show Beverly Hills, 90210 which ran for 9 seasons.

Jason Priestley Wearing a Panerai
Jason Priestley is well known for being stylish. He is well dressed, always shows his perfectly groomed beard, and is has a calculated and deliberate approach to putting forth a polished image. For Jason to pick a Panerai it might be a bit surprising, since you might expect him to go for a Rolex instead.
However, Priestley can be seen wearing a steel Panerai Luminor above. Although Priestley is not known to be exceptionally fit, or a gym rat with bulging muscles, the 44mm Panerai seems to fit his wrist just fine.
The Panerai Luminor is a very masculine timepiece. He appears to be wearing a timepiece not unlike the PAM01312 which has a large 44mm steel case. Super athletic actors including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone have long represented the brand.
Although Priestley has a more pretty boy appearance, the Panerai is not only a lower cost timepiece, but it is a watch that can take a beating. If it is good enough for a Navy Seal, it would easily make someone like Priestley feel comfortable knocking this timepiece around both day and night. It is also highly visible with the larger dial and highly luminescent hands and hour markers.
The Panerai Luminor has a date window at 3 o’clock and a small seconds window at 9 o’clock. The watch comes with a leather band – black Alligator.
It is powered by an in house movement, the caliber P.9010 which features 31 jewels, a Glucydur® balance, and an Incabloc® anti-shock device. You may hear of Jason Priestley wearing a Panerai Luminor swimming in the California ocean or to the gym. He can do so with already high confidence.
Rubber B makes an extensive array of custom designed vulcanized rubber bands for the Panerai Luminor timepiece. These bands come in multiple colors and styles. There are 14 different style and color combinations to choose from.
Each of these bands are made in Switzerland and are designed to perfectly fit the original Panerai case. Although the original Steel Tang Buckle from Panerai is supported, a 316L Tang buckle is provided.
Rubber B recently released the SwimSkin brand of rubber bands for the Panerai timepiece. The Swimskin band feels and looks like real Alligator or Ballistic Fabric, but is actually pure rubber and is perfect for repelling sweat, water and dips into the ocean.
