The Panerai Marina Militare Aviazione Navale timepiece is an accessory that pays homage to the brand's continued partnership with the Italian Navy. The watch comes in the form of the Submersible Marina Militare PAM01697 and the PAM01698, which are each constructed with 44mm cases to give a hefty feel without being too overwhelming on the wrist. The watches are paired with the in-house P.900 automatic movement alongside a 72-hour power reserve and both come with green canvas straps as a further nod to the military gear design aesthetic.
The Panerai Marina Militare Aviazione Navale timepiece comes in the steel cased PAM01697 priced at $12,500, while the PAM01698 with its Carbotech design comes in at $19,500. The watches are rated to support 300-meters of water resistance.
