When I checked the label on google translate it proceeded like this:

Orologio- clock. Easy
Orologia stagno- tin clock. Huh?
Orologio stagno fini- fine tin clock. Ok?
Orologio stagno fini a 3 armosfere- watertight clock up to 3 atmospheres.

So google translate likes what is there.

Orologio impermeable fini a 3 atmosfere translates to:
Watertight watch up to 3 atmospheres.

So changing that one word goes from clock to watch. Maybe that’s a difference in language from 1930s to now?

So how about now?

For me is perfect...

Look at this image taken from the web.



May I know how you intend to print the label? And in what material?
Thank you.

And ‘Stagno’ with ‘impermeabile’

Otherwise I think you’re good

Right...italian mate.

Could you check the picture I have posted on my previous message? Apparently Panerai used the word stagno to describe the watch.

To an Italian it sounds weird? Maybe they used Google translate too

Emilio ... your reference is correct, as per original label.
Using the term "Stagno" was more appropriate at the time of the 50s, currently in common language it is more noble to say "impermeabile" as waterproof.

Please amend

"Orologio stagno fino a 3 atmosfere"

Imho "6152 piccolo" sounds better than "mini 6152" but they are both grammatically correct.

I get what you mean. It's something similar in Spanish: stango is "estanco" for us and that was used back in the day to refer to any kind of contraption that could resist water.

I will be cutting one of the blank pages from the front or back of an old book. Trick borrowed from the document forgery realm! Then printing it with my cheap laser printer.
I will have to wait until Monday though. Thanks to my last spelling error!

Once I correctly make it FINO, it will be FINITO

Way to go! Laser will get you crisper text.

Instead of “ fini a 300 metri” should be “fino a 300 metri”.
Humble suggestion from an italian living in Sweden for too many years
