Panerai have partnered with the U.S Navy SEALs to create three new Submersible models; Submersible GMT Navy Seals (PAM01323), Submersible GMT Carbotech™ Navy Seals (PAM01324) & Submersible Navy Seals Experience (PAM01325).
Each reference is from the Submersible Collection and is characterised with specialised diving features and developed with the approval of the elite military force. Caliber P.900/GMT animates both the Submersible Navy SEALs Carbotech Edition and Submersible Navy SEALs Edition. The self-winding movement is equipped with central hour and minute hands, a small seconds dial at 9 o’clock, the date at 3 o’clock, and a GMT display of a second time zone. Two spring barrels store energy supplying a three day power reserve.
Submersible Navy SEALs Carbotech Edition is limited to only 162 pieces, an edition chosen to honour the founding year of the SEALs: 1962. And the words ‘NAVY SEALS’ appear on the dial to openly spotlight the collaboration. The case is fashioned from Carbotech, a composite material based on carbon fibre, while forged carbon composes the dial; its variegated coloration resembles the look of camouflage. Both materials are lightweight and resistant to provide both ease of wear and longevity. Light gray Super-LumiNova™ subtly contrasts with and complements each component, while touches of the signature Navy SEAL colour, golden yellow—on hands, bezel dots, date window, rubberised crown and Safety Lock trademark—enhance the legibility of key features.
Likewise, the extra-large size of the indexes heightens their visibility. The Submersible Navy SEALs Carbotech Edition is the first 44mm watch from the Submersible collection to feature a GMT function. A small seconds sub-dial styled with concentric circles and crosshairs to resemble a target is yet another nod to its military inspiration. Included are two straps: the first of black rubber, and the second is a bi-material option with a specialised black and gray camouflage pattern worn by Navy SEALs.
The Navy SEALs emblem is engraved on the case-back, consisting of an eagle clutching a flintlock-style pistol, a trident, and an anchor. The image appears against a stars and stripes background framed by the words United States Navy Seals. In addition, the Submersible Navy SEALs Edition features a black rubberised crown and black rubber strap, plus a second bi-material option with the same black and gray camouflage pattern worn by Navy SEALs. A tool is included to permit easy interchangeability of the straps.
The Submersible Navy SEALs Experience Edition is limited to only 20 pieces, with each purchaser receiving access to an adventure that will immerse guests in the history of the Navy SEALs and grant rare, first-hand exposure to the rigorous physical, emotional and mental demands of SEAL training. Housed in a 47mm steel case with black DLC coating, Submersible Navy SEALs Experience Edition displays the same yellow, gray and black palette as the other Submersible watches inspired by the elite military force.
Powered by caliber P.9100/R, Submersible Navy SEALs Experience Edition includes two highly sophisticated complications, the flyback function that allows the chronograph to reset and restart with one press of the pusher at eight o’clock and the Time to Target countdown, which indicates the time until a designated rendezvous.
Panerai has partnered with Skygolpe, a widely acclaimed multidisciplinary Italian artist and visionary creative in the digital sphere, who will create NFT artworks to be delivered to clients as part of their purchase of the Submersible Navy SEALs Experience Edition. Not only will the NFT unlock information tailored to each client’s excursion, but it will also unlock benefits, such as priority access to future initiatives, special services and events, on a rolling basis long after the experience ends.
