Panerai is making a similar two-watch edition alongside the recently-announced Submersible Chrono Guillaume Nery Edition. The limited model consists of a free-diving experience with Nery himself. Horn is an amazingly accomplished world explorer, sailor, and environmentalist and this is not his first time working on a particular edition with the replica Panerai. The new Submersible Mike Horn Edition 47mm is a two replica watch collection that gives a different take on the Submersible’s usual styling with one version being very limited in production as it includes access to an Arctic expedition lead by himself.
When I go over the supplied images and details for these two models, two things come into consideration: they both look elegant, and I still don’t have the wrist for a 47mm Panerai. The two versions are largely identical but can be easily differentiated by the color of the luminous material used on the dial. The standard model is the green-lumped model, while the other model uses a blue coloring and is limited to 19 pieces. While very similar, the fake Rolex costs double that of its non-limited sibling as each of the 19 owners will have the choice to join Mike Horn on a trip to the polar ice floes of the Arctic.
Apart from the coloring, the limited production, and that awesome excursion, these two amazing fake models are essentially identical, with 47mm cases made from Panerai’s Eco-Titanium, titanium relief bezels (very cool), 300m water resistance, and the use of Panerai’s in-house 3-day P.9010 automatic movement. You will notice with your keen eyes that the dial text is actually printed on the underside of the crystal and the general dial design is more fashionable than that of your standard submersible.
Equipped to a band made of recycled material, I think both of these replica models look awesome and balance a sporty modern dial design with the somewhat throwback appeal of an engraved titanium bezel. Being both limited to 19 pieces and providing a spot on an expedition with an accomplished explorer, the Submersible Mike Horn Edition 47mm is rather more expensive than the non-limited counterpart, but I doubt that the fake Panerai will not be easy to find 19 buyers who would be very interested in the extra-curricular activities included with the cheap price.
