Submersible
The Panerai brand separated the Submersible collection from the Luminor model series, although the shape of the case and the typical semi-circular crown protector are based on this original series. It has thus been given the space to be a separate diving line, which numbers several dozen models with case sizes of 42, 44 and 47 mm.
Panerai refers to its Submersible watches as “survival instruments” and for good reason as most Submersible timepieces are waterproof to 300 m (30 bars) but some of the higher end watches from the collection are waterproof to an incredible 2,500 metres (250 bars). In its Submersible collection Panerai uses new high-tech materials as it aims at creating robust, yet very light watches that don’t weigh much on your wrist, are pleasant to wear and, of course, are more resilient than steel pieces.

Something more…
The Submersible range, which is designed for all men with an adventurous soul, has been a kind of innovative showcase for the brand in recent years. It is with Submersible that the ambassadors are also associated, among the most recent names mention traveler Jeremy Jauncey and polar explorer Mike Horn.
Collection highlight
A classic among divers’ watches is the Submersible with a 42 mm case and a counter-clockwise unidirectional rotating bezel in polished steel and a black dial. The Submersible has the date at 3 o’clock and a seconds hand in a subdial at 9 o’clock.Aficionados of more robust cases will certainly appreciate the 47 mm Submersible Carbotech. The high-tech Carbotech material has an uneven matt black appearance which varies depending on the cut; the result is that each watch is unique. The Carbotech case, crown-protecting bridge and rotating bezel ensure extreme lightness and resistance. The Submersible Carbotech is powered by Panerai’s in-house automatic calibre P.9010 with a power reserve of a hefty three days.
