The new 44mm Submersible Marina Militare watch symbolizes our enduring partnership with the Italian Navy, a partnership that began in the 1910s and remains a core element of our brand DNA. As true tool watches, these timepieces embody our tradition of crafting precision instruments for extreme survival and adventure. These new models continue our brand's mission to embody the style of the Panerai naval brigade and inspire its wearer to embark on extraordinary adventures in demanding environments.
The P.900 automatic mechanical movement combines a wealth of functions within its minimalist proportions. Measuring 12.5 lignes (28 mm) in diameter and just 4.2 mm thick, its power is supplied by a bidirectional oscillating weight and stored in a single mainspring barrel. The balance wheel, securely fixed by a bridge, oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The movement features a stop-seconds function for even more precise time setting.
The 44 mm case of the PAM01697 watch is crafted from brushed 316LVM-1.4441 stainless steel, and the unidirectional rotating bezel features a matte green ceramic disc. The case of the PAM01698 watch is entirely clad in Carbotech™, renowned for its lightness and strength. Carbotech™ is manufactured by compressing carbon fiber sheets under precise temperatures and high pressures, while also incorporating the high-tech polymer PEEK (polyetheretherketone) to enhance its strength and longevity. This material offers exceptional mechanical properties, a strong-to-weight ratio, excellent wear resistance, and ergonomic fit. Compared to titanium and ceramic, this material is lighter and offers superior resistance to external forces and corrosion. Carbotech™ carbon fiber has a matte black finish that exhibits subtle variations depending on how the material is cut, giving each watch a unique texture.
Both watches feature a matte, grained green dial with a black gradient, inspired by the flight suits and helmets of Italian Naval Aviation pilots. The Marina Militare logo is emblazoned at 6 o'clock. Gray Super-LumiNova®, inspired by the colors of Italian Naval Aviation aircraft, ensures legibility in dim conditions. The small seconds subdial, inspired by radar displays, features a subtle engraving of the Italian Naval Aviation anchor emblem. The applied hour markers on the dial have been widened by 20%, and the area of Super-LumiNova® has been expanded by 45%, ensuring excellent low-light legibility, a feature particularly useful for missions in demanding environments.
The caseback of these new models features the wings of the Italian Naval Aviation Corps, a first for Panerai, adding a refined yet masculine element to the design. Designed for deep-sea exploration, these two dive watches are water-resistant to 30 bar (approximately 300 meters) and rigorously tested to Panerai's stringent standards at pressures 25% higher than the stated value. Both Submersible watches are fitted with a green canvas strap featuring distinctive matching stitching, ensuring exceptional durability and a nod to military style. A second black rubber strap is also included.
