History

The Submersible family is Panerai's tool dive line, recognizable by its cushion case, unidirectional rotating bezel and the patented crown protector that has defined the brand since its origins supplying instruments to the Italian Navy. The collection has traditionally run from 44 to 47 mm cases, large sizes even by tool-watch standards.

In 2021, Panerai launched the 42 mm Submersible to offer that same professional dive proposition in a more compact case, built for wrists that didn't sit well with the family's historical sizes. The PAM01223 keeps the line's full visual identity: brushed bezel, white dial with luminescent markers and a black rubber strap.

Inside the 42 mm case, 14.37 mm thick, sits caliber P.900, an in-house automatic movement measuring 12 ½ lignes and 4.2 mm thick, with 23 jewels, 28,800 vibrations per hour and an Incabloc shock-protection system. It delivers 3 days of power reserve and 300 m of water resistance, figures typical of a professional dive watch despite the case's reduced size.

This is the 9th Panerai reference Cazador has added to the catalog, adding the 42 mm size to the Submersible family already present alongside the PAM01108, joining the rest of Panerai's catalog made up of the Luminor Marina, the Radiomir Black Seal, the Luminor, the Luminor Due, the Radiomir Quaranta and the Radiomir 1940.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Panerai Submersible 42mm PAM01223 cost?

Cazador has 0 verified price observations recorded for the PAM01223 as of today, so we don't publish a range or estimate. Once we have our own verified market data, we'll update this page with the corresponding range and the date it was recorded.

Why did Panerai launch a 42mm Submersible?

Because the Submersible family traditionally ran between 44 and 47 mm, large sizes that didn't sit well on smaller wrists. The PAM01223, launched in 2021, offers the same tool dive proposition in a more versatile 42 mm case. That size opens the tool dive experience to a wider range of wrists.

Is the PAM01223 fit for professional diving?

Yes, it has 300 meters of water resistance, the standard figure for a tool dive watch, plus a unidirectional rotating bezel and a Panerai-patented crown protector, two classic underwater safety elements. Those features make it a genuinely functional instrument, not just a design exercise.

What movement does the Panerai Submersible 42mm use?

It runs caliber P.900, an in-house automatic movement measuring 12 ½ lignes and 4.2 mm thick, with 23 jewels, 28,800 vibrations per hour, an Incabloc shock system and 3 days of power reserve. It's a caliber engineered specifically to withstand the demands of professional diving.

What's the difference between the PAM01223 and the PAM01108?

Both belong to Panerai's Submersible family, but the PAM01108 corresponds to a larger case size within the line, while the PAM01223 is the 42 mm version launched in 2021 for smaller wrists. Both share the same design language that defines the Submersible line.

What is the Panerai Submersible 42mm case made of?

The case is stainless steel with Panerai's characteristic cushion shape, and includes the brand's patented crown protector, a distinctive element dating back to the house's origins as a supplier of military dive instruments. That protector is one of the most recognizable identity markers across Panerai's whole catalog.

What strap does the PAM01223 ship with?

It ships with a black rubber strap, a water- and wear-resistant material consistent with the watch's tool dive purpose, paired with a white dial with luminescent markers for maximum legibility. It's a common choice across the entire Panerai Submersible family.
