Released back in 2019, the Panerai Luminor Submersible 42 was a breath of fresh air for Panerai dive watch enthusiasts who didn’t want to wear oversized watches. The case that the PAM00683, comes in is a 42mm stainless steel case with a steel bezel with ceramic black insert. It should be noted that the crown guard used on this model is not considered with taking the 42mm case size. With the crown guard included, the “horizontal” measurement of the case comes to roughly 48mm. Panerai has used a black dial that quite nicely matches the bezel while giving a beautiful contrast against the hands and hour markers. The hour indexes are raised slightly, which gives a nice three-dimensional look to the dial. The black caoutchouc strap is super comfortable to use and the use of iconic trapezoidal steel buckle is a great touch and goes well with the overall look of the watch. The heart of this little gem is the “in house” caliber OP XXXIV which provides a power reserve of approximately 3 days (72 hours). The timepiece comes with a closed case back which features the engravings of a submersible and the inscriptions “FIRENZE 1860”
