Among Paneristi — the die-hard Panerai collectors who delve deep into Paneria’s history and collect its watches — there is a subset that’s willing to shell out big money not only for a watch, but also for an Experience. That’s what the new Submersible Chrono Marina Militare Experience Edition – PAM01699 buys you: In addition to a 47mm titanium Submersible dive watch with a flyback chronograph, locally jumping hours, and 500m of water resistance, it also gets the owner a ticket to join the Aviazione Navale (Italian naval aviation) for three days of training at the at the Naval Air Station in Grottaglie, Puglia. At $60,800, the experience doesn’t come cheap — but these are three days that diehard Panerai collectors are sure never to forget.
