Among all the watchmaking companies, Officine Panerai is the one for which creating diver’s replica watches is the most natural. The brand is closely connected to frogmen. For over four decades, Panerai has supplied watches to the Italian Royal Navy.
All Panerai Luminor Submersible watches feature a rotating bezel for measuring the duration of immersion. The bezel can be rotated only anti-clockwise so that if there is a measurement error, the bezel will show that the apparent immersion time is longer rather than shorter than the actual elapsed time. The dial of the watches features the date display window at 9 o’clock and the small seconds counter at 3 o’clock.
With their large cases, luminescent hands and numerals and water resistance up to 300 meters, practically all Panerai Luminor timepieces are suitable for diving.
The only things they are lacking to become true fake watches are a rubber strap and a rotating bezel. This is exactly what the Panerai Luminor Submersible watches bring to the product line of the company.
There are three Panerai Luminor Submersible watches in the Contemporary collection of the brand. Two of them are nearly identical, differing only in the material from which their cases are made and the dial patterns.
The third one, the Luminor 1950 Submersible 1000 M, is an entirely different story. As its name indicates, the watch is water-resistant to 1000 meters, unlike the other two, which are water resistant to 300 meters. Just like the Rolex Sea-Dweller, it is equipped with a helium escape valve on the right side of the case to protect it from water penetration.
But ours come with functional rubber straps which will not be damaged underwater.
