Panerai, in this year SIHH, promoted 7 novelties. In my expression, this is time of displaying least watches. According to my analysis, this is because it is going to rolled out new watches in the Asian watch fair in September, so this year in the SIHH it is just a warm up.
Surprise Submersible
Talking about the mainstream of watches in this year, Submersible must takes the lead. It has three novelties: two titanium edition and one carbon. As a branch from Luminor, Submersible is not the mainstream among Panerai watches, as it does not has the rotating bezel, but it is the most professional diving watches and it once had a hottest bronze 382 that went famous around the world. This year, the two titanium edition is numbered 614 and 615 and they are all chronograph watches, with a limited number of 500. The only difference between 614 and 615 is that 615 has a ceramic bezel. After all, we should know that ceramic bezel is a cool thing and even there are countless scratches in the bezel, it makes the bezel look new always. Speaking of the most special one, then a carbon-fiber material named Carbotech feature 616. From titanium alloy, bronze, black ceramic to today’s carbon-fiber. Panerai is famous for its pursue in new materials.
Slightly-inferior Mare Nostrum
Mare Nostrum is a replica and the size sticks to 52mm. It is produced based on the original edition from 1943, and it was designed for the office worker in Navy, paying tribute to the Mediterranean. In history, there is a replica in 2010. Looking at its see-through case, we could find the delicate movement, but in this year, although it shares the same movement with 300, it can never see that beauty in 300. If you want to buy a Panerai replica, be quick.
