The Panerai Marina Militare Submersible PAM01757 and PAM01758 are two new military-style dive watches that pay tribute to Panerai's naval history. These models feature unique designs and robust specifications, making them standout additions to the Submersible collection.
Design and Inspiration of Panerai Marina Militare Submersible
Panerai has expanded its Submersible collection with two new dive watches, the PAM01757 and PAM01758. These watches honor Panerai's history of supplying instruments like depth gauges and compasses to the Italian Navy. Despite sharing a common design concept, the models exhibit several distinct differences.
What Are the Features of the Panerai PAM01757?
The Panerai Marina Militare Submersible Destro PAM01757 boasts a 44 mm by 13.94 mm satin-finished steel case. It features a unidirectional rotating bezel with a matte black ceramic insert and raised markers. The crown, with Panerai's signature protective bridge, is positioned on the left side for comfort, particularly for left-handers. The watch is water-resistant to 500 meters and the dial is protected by a sapphire crystal.
Panerai PAM01757 Dial and Movement
The PAM01757 features a minimalist black dial with a granular texture and applied hour markers. A recessed small seconds subdial shares this texture. The hands and hour markers are coated with beige Super-LumiNova, and a luminous dot marks the bezel's zero point. Inside, the automatic calibre P.980, produced at ValFleurier, beats at 4 Hz and offers a 72-hour power reserve. The case back is engraved with the silhouette of the Silura a Lenta Corsa, a miniature submarine used by Italian naval special forces during World War II.
Features and Movement of Panerai PAM01758
The Marina Militare Submersible GMT PAM01758 is slightly smaller at 42 mm but is thicker at 14.38 mm. It shares the satin-finished steel case and ceramic bezel of its counterpart. The dial, with a similar textured black finish, features a small seconds subdial on the opposite side due to the right-sided crown. This model includes additional complications: a date display and a GMT function. The 24-hour scale for GMT is on the inner bezel, and the GMT hand, with an orange-beige triangle tip, adjusts independently of the local hour hand. Inside, the calibre P.900/GMT24H maintains the same 4 Hz frequency and 72-hour power reserve as the P.980.
Straps and Pricing for Panerai PAM01757 and PAM01758
Both models come with vintage brown 'ponte vecchio' leather straps with trapezoidal matte steel buckles. Additionally, a black rubber strap with the distinctive Panerai accordion design is included. Though not limited editions, their production is signified as 'Annual Production' on the case back. The PAM01757 is priced at €12,300, while the PAM01758 is priced at €12,700.
