Introducing Panerai’s Military-Inspired Submersible Marina Militare Destro and GMT Watches
The Panerai Submersible Marina Militare PAM01757 Destro and PAM01758 GMT pair military-inspired dive-watch design with contemporary features. Both have brushed stainless steel cases, matte black dials with beige Super-LumiNova, ceramic bezel inserts, 500-meter water resistance, three-day power reserves, and leather and rubber straps. The 44mm PAM01757 has a left-side crown, a clean dial without a date, and the automatic P.980 movement. The 42mm PAM01758 adds a date, running seconds, and an independently adjustable 24-hour GMT hand powered by the P.900/GMT24H movement. The watches balance robust dive-watch capability with distinctive Panerai styling and are presented as practical daily wearers. The Destro is praised for its understated look and comfortable proportions, while the GMT’s added time-zone display makes its dial busier but remains easy to read. Both models are available now: the PAM01757 costs €12,300 and the PAM01758 costs €12,700.
