Panerai Luminor Submersible 42 PAM02683 – Full Set NEW

In the year 1860, Officine Panerai embarked on its remarkable journey. Starting as a humble watchmaker’s shop that also offered a limited selection of maritime equipment, it would evolve into the horological colossus of deep-water timekeeping that we know and love today.

As the 20th century dawned, Officine Panerai achieved a historic milestone by becoming the official supplier to the Italian Frogmen – a cadre of elite soldiers known for their daring exploits. Clad in Panerai watches developed in collaboration with Rolex SA, they rode atop torpedoes destined for enemy ships – a mission fraught with danger. These fearless warriors attached limpet mines to their targets and raced against the clock to escape the ensuing explosions. In such perilous circumstances, legible and dependable timekeeping became paramount, and Panerai rose to the challenge. The brand also furnished the Royal Italian Navy with an impressive array of technical equipment and precision instruments, solidifying its place in horological history.

The PAM02683 Submersible is a continuation of this remarkable legacy.

Outfitted with a robust 42mm stainless steel case and complemented by a resilient silicone strap, it closely follows the example set by its predeccessors, and that’s true both in terms of design and in terms of functionality. Its black dial is adorned with luminous indices and hands, guaranteeing peerless legibility even in dimly lit underwater environments. The addition of a date display is aimed at catering to your everyday timekeeping needs, but hey – it also ensures you’re not going to spend more than a day under water (as much as you want to).

The Panerai Submersible 42 exemplifies the brand’s enduring commitment to impeccable craftsmanship and its profound connection to the world of deep-sea exploration. As you adorn your wrist with this timepiece, you’ll experience the perfect synergy of rugged durability and sophisticated charm. As clichéd as it might sound, it’s more than a watch – it’s a statement of your adventurous spirit and your discerning taste in horology.

Inside, tucked safely away behind the Frogmen-engraved caseback, the caliber P.900 is ticking confidently away. Technical specs include: 12 ½ lignes, 4.2 mm thick, 23 jewels, 28,800 alternations/hour, Incabloc® anti-shock, a 3-day power reserve, one barrel, 171 components.
