Panerai Submersible Azzurro 42mm Limited Edition Watch PAM01209

The Panerai Submersible Azzurro 42mm (Ref. PAM01209) pays homage to watches Panerai supplied to the Egyptian Navy in 1956 whilst introducing refined elements for contemporary collectors. Limited to 500 pieces and originally exclusive to Panerai.com, the striking blue ceramic bezel evokes Mediterranean depths whilst the 42mm case makes Panerai’s distinctive design accessible to wider range of wrists.

At 42mm with iconic crown-protecting bridge, this provides the most wearable size in Panerai’s lineup without compromising professional diving capability. The blue ceramic bezel offers superior scratch resistance and permanent colour compared to aluminium alternatives, whilst the “Azzurro” shade connects to Italy’s national identity and maritime heritage.

The Manufacture Calibre P.900 represents Panerai’s first proprietary self-winding movement combining slim 4.2mm thickness with 72-hour power reserve and date function. Developed entirely in the Neuchâtel manufacture, this demonstrates evolution from modified base movements to fully in-house calibres whilst maintaining traditional Panerai dial layout.

The 300m water resistance and unidirectional rotating bezel maintain professional diving specifications, whilst the accordion-style rubber strap and additional Sportech velcro strap provide versatility for underwater and surface activities.

This Submersible Azzurro suits buyers seeking Panerai’s military heritage and distinctive design in more accessible proportions. The 42mm sizing bridges bold Panerai aesthetics with everyday wearability, making this ideal for collectors who appreciate the brand’s tool watch credentials but find traditional 44-47mm cases overwhelming for daily wear.
