It was just over a year ago, in September 2022 that Panerai announced its special partnership with the Navy SEALs and released its first watches inspired by the Elite Military Force, the United States Navy Sea, Air and Land Teams. At that point, the brand released three Submersible watches under the Special Operations Xperience effort. Now, the brand expands its Navy SEALs collection – unveiling two more Submersibles and three Luminor watches inspired by the Seals.

The Elite Military force that is the SEALs are dedicated to persistence, precision and extreme and unconventional situations. Panerai creates its timepieces for the same mission – go all the way wherever possible.
