Panerai has introduced the Submersible Chrono Marina Militare Experience Edition PAM01699, a highly limited 47mm chronograph dive watch inspired by its historic partnership with the Italian Navy and, for the first time, its Naval Aviation branch (Aviazione Navale).
Limited to just 35 pieces, the watch grants its owners access to an elite experience with the Italian Naval Aviation forces in Grottaglie, Puglia.
The PAM01699 is part of Panerai’s exclusive Experiences Program, launched in 2019 to connect clients with the brand’s core values – adventure, military heritage, and Italian craftsmanship – with past editions including immersive military training in La Spezia and Brindisi.
This latest chapter invites PAM01699 owners to train alongside Italian Naval Aviators at the Grottaglie Naval Air Station, engage in tactical simulations, helicopter missions, and military drills, offering a rare glimpse into military life.
At its core is the P.9100/R automatic movement, made of 332 components and featuring five patented innovations.
Key functions include a flyback chronograph, time-to-target countdown, and quick set hour adjustment, all developed for mission-ready performance.
A 3-day power reserve is provided by twin barrels, while a vertical clutch and column wheel ensure precise chronograph operation.
The 47mm case is constructed from Grade 5 titanium, making it 40% lighter and 60% harder than steel, and offers 50 BAR (500m) water resistance.
The unidirectional bezel includes a black ceramic insert for durability against corrosion and scratches.
Inspired by naval flight gear, the green-grained dial features grey Super-LumiNova and the “Marina Militare” signature, with a radar-style small seconds and Aviazione Navale insignia.
A green canvas strap with titanium buckle and a secondary black rubber strap complete the timepiece.
Available exclusively at Panerai boutiques.
