First launched in 2019, the Panerai Experiences programme offers owners of Panerai timepieces access to unique events that provide a deep connection with the very essence of the watchmaker. Three types of events are available, each relating to one of the brand’s core values: adventure, military heritage and Italianity.
The next instalment in this project, which associates each watch with a transformative journey, is linked to the Submersible Chrono Marina Militare Experience Edition PAM01699, which represents the next episode in Panerai’s commitment to connecting timepieces with transformative journeys. Issued in a 35-piece limited edition, this watch is the key to a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that challenges its wearers to embrace resilience and human endurance. Inspired by the Aviazione Navale for the first time ever, this edition invites participants to push their physical and mental boundaries in an experience rooted in its military heritage.
Building on the success of previous editions, such as the Italian Navy Experience in La Spezia in 2019 and the Italian Navy Experience in Brindisi in 2022, this new edition highlights the Italian Navy aviation branch. This is a new episode of the Military chapter, extending Panerai’s legacy into the skies and seas with the new PAM01699 as the ultimate companion. Set against the stunning backdrop of Puglia, Italy, at the Naval Air Station in Grottaglie, participants will step into the shoes of a modern hero for three days. They will learn the uncompromising discipline of the Military Corps, participating in thrilling training activities while gaining rare insight into their usual naval aviation operations through tactical simulations and helicopter missions. Beyond that, guests will have the opportunity to flank aircrew during their flight activity, and soak in the authentic atmosphere of southern Italian culture.
Linked to this experience and celebrating the long-term partnership between Panerai and the Italian Navy, the Submersible Chrono Marina Militare Experience Edition PAM01699 beats to the rhythm of self-winding Calibre P.9100/R notably comprising five patented innovations. This imposing timepiece comes in a 47mm case crafted from grade 5 titanium. Incredibly light for its size, it offers increased resilience and durability thanks to an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and high corrosion resistance. Its grained matt green dial with a black gradient finish bears the “Marina Militare” signature at 6 o’clock.
