Panerai has supplied the Italian Navy since the 1910s. The new Submersible Marina Militare GMT PAM01758 carries that history into a modern dive watch. A 42mm brushed steel case holds a black grained dial with beige lume that recalls aged military instruments. The orange-tipped GMT hand tracks a second time zone on a 24-hour scale. A date window sits at 3 o’clock, with small seconds at 9. The unidirectional bezel carries a matte black ceramic insert. Inside, the P.900/GMT24H automatic runs for three days on a full wind.
It is rated to 500 meters, so this is a real dive tool, not a desk diver. The steel caseback is engraved with the Slow Speed Torpedo. Italian naval commandos rode that manned torpedo in World War II. A gold-brown calf leather strap comes with a black rubber strap in the box. It is built for travelers who want one watch that dives, crosses time zones, and still looks right at dinner. The PAM01758 is $13,100, available now through Panerai boutiques and panerai.com.
