Mike Horn is certainly one of the greatest experts about our planet, which he has come to know directly by travelling every mile of land and sea accessible to man, even under the most extreme conditions. The new Submersible Mike Horn Edition, created by Panerai for its most courageous ambassador, is not only a tough, strong, reliable watch, suitable for wearing during the most challenging enterprises, but it is also an instrument that has used innovative methods involving the recycling of resources to protect our planet and its oceans. This professional diving watch is water resistant to a depth of 300 metres (30 bar), with a special case 47mm in diameter made of EcoTitaniumTM, a material first introduced into the world of high-quality watchmaking by Panerai, obtained not from the exploitation of natural resources but from recycled titanium. On the back, Mike Horn’s signature is engraved, as is an image inspired by the creatures that inhabit our seas. The unidirectional rotating bezel enables the duration of each dive to be safely calculated, while legibility in the dark is guaranteed by the use of generous quantities of green Super-LumiNova®on the index markers and the large skeleton hands, which stand out strongly against the black of the sandwich dial. The black strap, light, strong and resistant, is also made of a material designed to minimise environmental impact.Together, these new timepieces epitomise a sense of adventure combined with a dedication to technical excellence, features shared by the Luna Rossa sailing team, explorer Mike Horn, and of course, the Panerai brand.
