PANERAI Submersible QuarantaQuattro eSteel™ BLU PROFONDO [too blue?]

Some blu profondo aka deep blue for this new mid-sized eSteel model; and the glossy blue ceramic is a lovely new look for a Submersible (I mean we’ve seen matte but never gloss) but is it just more of the same?

You don’t need to be proficient in Italian to work out what QuarantaQuattro is all about; QuarantaQuattro is to 2022’s new Submersibles collection what quattro formaggi is to pizza! 

It’s Panerai’s newfangled way of referring to a recently introduced 44mm case diameter for their dedicated Submersible diver’ watch family –

brand nomenclature , where by all new models moving forward will now receive their case-size designations in Italian; such as the Luminor Quaranta models. Why? Well because QuarantaQuattro just sounds better than 44mm, doesn’t it! Meet the new Submersible QuarantaQuattro eSteel™ Blu Profondo AKA PAM01289 which was introduced alongside several other QuarantaQuattro (44mm) Submersible models at Watches and Wonders 2022 in Geneva. Its new mid-sized 44mm case is made from, penguin-friendly, sustainable, recycled, brushed eSteel™. This comes with a bit of a premium, though. Btw water-resistance is to 300m. Special features of the watch include its deep blue polished gradient dial with matching ceramic bezel inlay. Meanwhile its blue winding-crown matches its blue tone on tone hand-stitched textile strap.

Powering the watch is an automatic mechanical, P.900 caliber, with 23 jewels, 28,800 alternations/hour, Incabloc anti-shock protection and a power-reserve of 3 days. 

MSRP in Switzerland is CHF 10'900 incl. sales tax.

Thoughts? It’s very nice but honestly I’m all blued-out at these days, so it’s difficult to see beyond all the blue but what do you think?
