A Pair of Adventurers: Panerai Submersible Chrono Flyback Jimmy Chin Editions
Panerai’s Submersible collection, which spun off from the larger Luminor family in 2019, has been defined largely by its association with rugged adventure and its forays into sustainable materials. With the release of two new timepieces in collaboration with alpinist, environmentalist and National Geographic photographer Jimmy Chin ? both limited editions, one that comes with a unique adventure experience alongside the watch’s namesake ? Panerai continues both themes.

The Panerai Submersible Chrono Flyback – Jimmy Chin Edition, limited to 100 pieces, uses brushed titanium for its signature 47-mm case, which incorporates a unidirectional rotating bezel with a graduated dive scale and Panerai’s patented bridge device to secure the screw-locked crown. The grey dial has luminous dots and hour markers and light blue details, like the chronograph seconds hand, creating a palette that is inspired, says Panerai, by “icy mountain landscapes” of the type scaled by Chin, the Academy Award-winning co-director of the documentary film Free Solo and a Panerai “brand Ambassador.”
