This 50mm special edition experience watch from Panerai is loaded with all the bells and whistles. To begin with, it is an experience watch - meaning buyers get the chance to go on a once-in-a-lifetime Arctic expedition with explorer and adventurer Mike Horn. Additionally, the watch is made of a proprietary material developed with the concepts of recycling and conservation in mind. It is composed of steel and recycled metal from the 35-meter drive shaft of Mike Horn's sailing ship, Pangaea, which he took around the world. It also marks the first Submersible to house a tourbillon escapement. The 277-part hand-wound caliber is protected by a soft inner iron ring to guard against magnetic fields. Water resistant to 300 meters; just five will be made.

Founded in Florence, Panerai was not only a workshop, but also the city's first watchmaking school, helping to perfect and keep the craft alive under one roof. Equated with high quality, the brand supplied precision instruments such as naval combat sights and a radium-based powder that it developed to make the dials of instruments brighter. Panerai's Luminor collection continues to be a popular timepiece that remains radiant through its luminous Arabic numerals and polished steel casing.The brand's close ties with the navy also instigated the creation of the renowned instrument we know today as the Radomir watch, a high functioning timepiece that features manual mechanical movement, wire lungs and is water resistant. To date, Panerai has continued to support nautical activity, partnering with UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission last year to help promote the sustainable development of ocean sciences. This collaboration yielded The Submersible eLab-ID, a concept watch with the highest percentage of recycle-based material ever.
