Panerai Submersible Bronzo 3 Days Auto 47mm PAM00968 2020 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Panerai Submersible Bronzo reference PAM00968 continues the legacy of one of the brand’s most iconic and disruptive designs—the "Bronzo." First introduced in 2011, the Bronzo concept ignited widespread intrigue for its evolving patina and unapologetically masculine presence. The PAM00968, introduced in 2019, is the latest chapter in this story, distinguished by its warm brown tones and elevated technical features, offering a more refined and cohesive aesthetic.

Measuring a substantial 47mm, the case is crafted from solid brushed bronze, a living material that gradually develops a unique patina over time, telling a story of every adventure and environment it encounters. This iteration is the first Bronzo to feature a brown ceramic bezel insert, lending a modern, scratch-resistant edge to the rotating dive bezel while maintaining Panerai’s rugged tool-watch DNA. The brown dial complements the bronze tones perfectly, and large luminous indices and hands ensure superior legibility in any lighting condition.

Inside, the PAM00968 is powered by the in-house automatic P.9010 calibre, which offers a robust 3-day power reserve thanks to its twin-barrel construction. The movement also features a quick-set hour hand, ideal for travelers adjusting to different time zones. A sapphire crystal caseback—a rarity for bronze-cased watches—provides a view of the mechanical movement while being framed by a titanium back to avoid skin contact with the bronze material. With 300m water resistance, this Submersible is not just a showpiece—it's fully equipped for professional underwater exploration.

Fitted with a vintage-style brown leather strap, the Submersible Bronzo PAM00968 marries Panerai’s heritage of naval engineering with modern luxury craftsmanship. It stands as a testament to the brand’s ability to evolve its most celebrated icons while staying true to its roots. For collectors and enthusiasts, this reference is more than just a successor to the original Bronzo—it's a matured, elevated embodiment of the concept, carrying forward the spirit of the sea with undeniable presence and a patina-rich story.
