A cushion case, a crown lock, a robust strap, a highly luminous dial, and a sporty undertone. When it comes to Panerai watches, these features are characteristically the touchstones. This 2021-released Submersible Bronzo concurs with the notion but in a refreshing way. Historically, Panerai watches have been substantially sized, but this example goes against the grain with a 42mm case, finally making the fans of the brand with slender wrists feel acknowledged.

The Bronzo, as the name suggests, is rendered in bronze - a material growing in prominence among watchmakers, especially for use in diving watches, much like this Submersible. It's bronze's natural character to patinate, resulting in the darkening of the surface. Interestingly, the patina does not represent the material's decomposition but is just an upper layer that protects the layer underneath from further corrosion. As aforementioned, this Submersible features all the signature elements of a Panerai watch in addition to a diver's rotating bezel. Unlike its 2019 predecessor, this watch carries a bronze bezel creating a monochromatic look. Along with luminous markers and hands, this reference profiles a date window and a small-seconds subdial on the Blu Abisso dial.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
