Panerai is a watch brand that seeks to empower some of the world’s most daring adventurers, playing an integral role in their explorations. Thus, in true Panerai spirit, the brand has partnered with the Navy Seals for its latest timepieces within the Submersible Collection. Dating back to the early 20th century, Panerai created timepieces for the Italian Navy, proving the brand’s unparalleled connection to the sea. Today, the legacy lives on with the newly-announced capsule of three new watches that pay tribute to the heritage of the United States Navy Seals: the Submersible GMT Navy Seals, the Submersible GMT Carbotech Navy Seals, and the Submersible Navy Seals Experience.

Receiving the prestigious stamp of approval from the elite military force, each reference boasts technical feats. The impressive Caliber P.900/GMT powers 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. The Submersible Navy Seals Experience is powered by caliber P.9100/R, including 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.

In terms of aesthetics, the three new timepieces sit cohesively in the same design. Each sport Panerai’s signature elevated sportier elements with darker cases, dials, and bracelets contrasted with golden yellow luminous accents for legibility.

Limited to just 162 pieces, the Submersible GMT Carbotech Navy Seals Edition is the first 44mm watch from the Submersible collection to feature a GMT function. The Submersible Navy Seals Edition features a black rubberized crown and black rubber strap, as well as a second bi-material option with the same black and gray camouflage pattern that Navy Seals actually wear.

Last but certainly not least, 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.

A first for the brand, 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.
