These are older model with tritium hands. Some are still sealed and perfectly fine and some will corrode over time like this one did. Panerai will definitely not service the watch without changing the hands, which will not match the patina on the hour markers.

I am not sure how "normal" the corrosion is.. watch appears to be in good condition for its age though.
