Through single-minded dedication to each of his historic endeavors —from trekking to the North Pole in the unremitting darkness of winter to summiting some of the world’s highest and most challenging peaks without supplemental oxygen— Mike Horn secured a place among the world’s greatest living explorers. Unwavering focus on reaching heights is a trait Panerai shares with the adventurer and environmental activist. The new Submersible Chrono Flyback Mike Horn Edition is a limited edition diving watch available in only 500 pieces

The Submersible Chrono Flyback Mike Horn Edition abounds with features able to withstand daunting conditions, beginning with a 47 mm brushed titanium case that is both lightweight and highly resistant. Applied indices in white and vivid yellow central chronograph hands punctuate the dark blue dial, a color combination that recalls a previous model inspired by Horn, the Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 Pole 2 Pole Limited Edition PAM719 from 2016 as shown in the picture we took at the time.

A hard-wearing black matte ceramic ring within the unidirectional bezel provides a highly legible tool for the measurement of immersion time, while screw-down chronograph pushers deliver a superior degree of water resistance.

Developed as an indispensable tool for daring explorers on land or sea, the Submersible Chrono Flyback Mike Horn Edition is powered by the P.9100 movement, the first automatic movement with chronograph functions created by Panerai. The movement features the flyback function, an advanced complication that allows the chronograph to reset and restart with one press of the pusher at eight o’clock, along with a three-day power reserve. A specially engraved solid case back with Mike Horn’s signature protects the movement.

With the patented Panerai strap system, switching one strap for another is a simple operation that requires only an included interchangeability tool and screwdriver to remove the trapezoidal pin buckle in brushed titanium. The watches and their accessories are housed in boxes made from recycled plastic, part of an ongoing commitment by Panerai in promoting environmentally responsible practices.

Water-resistant up to 300 meters, the new Panerai Submersible Chrono Flyback Mike Horn Edition is delivered with two straps: a blue rubber accordion strap and the new UPCamo bi-material strap composed of rubber and a camouflage fabric inspired by Italian Navy uniforms.
