Panerai Luminor 1950 Submersible 1000 M
Concept & History
The PAM00243 represents the consistent further development of professional diving instruments for extreme conditions. Based on historical military contracts with the Italian Navy, this model combines the characteristic crown protection bridge design with maximum requirements for pressure resistance. As part of the Submersible collection, this timepiece is aimed at collectors who appreciate a functional instrument watch with a distinctive presence. The architecture of the 44 mm the large case takes up the proportions of historic cases, but has been developed for professional deep-sea missions up to 100 ATM structurally modified extensively.
Caliber & Technology
Inside the construction, the automatic Caliber OP III, certified as a chronometer by the COSC. The movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a power reserve of 42 hours zur Verfügung. Ein Service aus dem Jahr 2026 garantiert eine optimale Amplitude und Zuverlässigkeit. Für die Gewährleistung der strukturellen Integrität beim Sättigungstauchen ist das Gehäuse mit einem automatischen Heliumventil auf der Neun-Uhr-Position ausgestattet. Eine Incabloc-Stoßsicherung schützt die Unruh vor mechanischen Einwirkungen, während das Datum durch eine in das Saphirglas integrierte Lupe abgelesen wird.

The screw-down case back Stainless steel guaranteed in combination with the patented crown guard for maximum water resistance. The case edges are finished with fine bevels that emphasize the instrumental character.
Aesthetics & Readability
The matte black dial of the PAM00243 is uncompromisingly designed for maximum contrast. Large hour and minute markers filled with luminous material dominate the dial, and together with the broad hands, ensure optimal readability underwater.
