PANERAI Submersible QuarantaQuattro LUNA ROSSA [an eye catcher]

Panerai’s red moon AKA Luna Rossa Submersible gets a steel mid-size case, a blue sun-brushed dial with a red sub-seconds hand and matching blue strap with a ‘striscia rossa’ aka red stripe.

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! This is the new Submersible QuarantaQuattro Luna Rossa AKA PAM01391 which was introduced alongside several other QuarantaQuattro (44mm) Submersible models at Watches and Wonders 2022 in Geneva. Its 44mm diameter case is in AISI 316L Stainless steel with a brushed finish and has a water-resistant to 300m. Its blue sun-brushed is punctuated by a red sweeping sun-seconds hand which matches with a red stripe running down the middle of its blue 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.

A final feature of the Submersible QuarantaQuattro Luna Rossa is its blue winding crown, protected like all Pam’s via a patented locking device. 

MSRP in Switzerland is CHF 9'300 incl. sales tax.

Thoughts? You’ll either love this or like me you’ll have a feeling of apathy for yet another sun-brushed blue face. What do you think?
