Hands-On The Panerai Submersible Chrono Guillaume Néry Edition 47mm (PAM00983)

When I arrived at Panerai this year, I was greeted with a booth that was fully decked out with images of the Submersible, Panerai's deep-diving technical tool watch The Submersible, we were told, had been split off from the Luminor line, a move that seemed to make sense on several levels Sure, the watch comes in a Luminor case, but it's a class of watch all its own.

It's a dive watch that often comes with 300m of water resistance or more, is 42mm in diameter at its smallest, and is constructed in such a way as to feel like a serious piece of machinery on the wrist With more fashion focused iterations of the Luminor, like the Luminor Due 38, coming in recent years, having a category of its own for robust dive watches seems like a good way to cut through any potential confusion about what Panerais are and aren't suitable for diving. .
