Consideration for the global environment in both materials and manufacturing processes.

The new "Submersible Mike Horn Edition-47mm" is inspired by Mike Horn, one of the world's greatest adventurers and a Panerai ambassador for 15 years. This model is not only an excellent professional diver's watch but also an innovative solution from Officine Panerai that contributes to global environmental protection, using recycled PET materials for the strap and Eco-Titanium™, recycled from retired aircraft, for the case.

The movement is equipped with Panerai's in-house P.9010 automatic caliber, boasting a 72-hour power reserve. The Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel operates in compliance with the strictest international environmental standards, with state-of-the-art energy-saving devices and facilities for waste recovery and reuse, including zero carbon emissions and 100% wastewater recycling, where movements and various components are manufactured.

The newly designed unidirectional rotating bezel allows for safe calculation of dive times. Visibility in darkness, a requirement for any professional diver's watch, is ensured by applying green Super-LumiNova® to the sandwich dial's indices and large skeleton hands, which stand out against the black background. The small seconds at 9 o'clock and the date at 3 o'clock are clearly legible underwater. The sapphire crystal features silk-screened logos: "Panerai Submersible" and "Automatic 300m / 1000Ft."

The strap is made from recycled PET materials to minimize environmental impact. It is lightweight, durable, and suitable for underwater use. A black rubber strap for replacement is also included.

This model, crafted with consideration for the environment in both materials and manufacturing processes, is presented in special packaging made from recycled materials inspired by tools for underwater activities.
