Why do so few of the models come n deployment clasp - is that a cost issue or is it somehow weaker?

Thanks!

Actually they are different movements. 320 uses the P9001, and 359 uses the P9000. Differences shown below.

320 is the right choice here, imho



320:
Movement: automatic mechanical, Panerai P. 9001 calibre, executed entirely by Panerai, 13 ¾ lignes, 7.9 mm thick, 29 jewels, Glucydur® balance, 28,800 alternations/hour. Power reserve 3 days, two barrels. Incabloc® anti-shock device. 227 components.
Functions: hours, minutes, small seconds, date, second time zone, power reserve indicator on the back, seconds reset.


359:
Movement: automatic mechanical, Panerai P. 9000 calibre, executed entirely by Panerai, 13 ¾ lignes, 7.9 mm thick, 28 jewels, Glucydur® balance, 28,800 alternations/hour. Power reserve 3 days, two barrels. Incabloc® anti-shock device.
Functions: hours, minutes, small seconds, date.
