Highly unlikely. The tantilum case is very hard to make and Panerai was burning through bits at a furious pace to make the 172 (and 192). I have been told that we will not see another tantilum case.

360 alone:

Because I did not expect to receive a 360, I did not have a strap ready for it. I have two being made.
