Replica Submersible Watches

Our panerai submersible replica collection features 28 super clone dive watches with the unidirectional rotating timing bezel that separates this family from every other Panerai line. The Submersible descends directly from the instruments Panerai built for Italian Navy combat swimmers (Gruppo Gamma) in the 1940s — the original references were tested to extreme depths in Mediterranean operations. In 2019, Panerai elevated Submersible from a Luminor sub-line to a standalone family, giving it dedicated case engineering with a 300m water resistance rating on the genuine (our super clones are not for swimming), wider bezel with minute markers, and luminous dot at 12 for elapsed-time orientation. Every panerai submersible replica in this catalog is a super clone running a clone of a genuine Panerai automatic calibre, built by factories such as VS, with sapphire crystal and decorated finishing. Cases range from the 42mm Bronzo Abisso and the 44mm QuarantaQuattro to panerai submersible 47mm replica references in steel, titanium, bronze-tone, gold-tone Goldtech and carbon-look Carbotech. Browse by reference below, or see the full Panerai replica collection.

Panerai Submersible Replica References: QuarantaQuattro, Carbotech, Bronzo

Submersible QuarantaQuattro 44mm (PAM 01289)

Entry point to the dive family: QuarantaQuattro is Italian for “forty-four”, and this line puts the full Submersible design — rotating bezel and crown-guard bridge — into a 44mm case. Our Submersible QuarantaQuattro PAM 1289 super clone carries the deep blue Blu Profondo dial; the same 44mm case is in stock as PAM 1287 Verde Smeraldo (green), PAM 1288 Grigio Roccia (grey), PAM 1226 Bianco (white), PAM 1229 and PAM 1232. Movement: a clone of the P.900 automatic used in the genuine QuarantaQuattro (genuine: 72-hour, 3-day power reserve). The most daily-wearable Submersible size in our stock after the 42mm Bronzo Abisso (PAM 1074) — compact enough for most wrists while retaining the full dive-instrument heritage. The genuine is rated to 300m; our clones are not for swimming.

Submersible 47mm (PAM 01039)

The full-size dive instrument at panerai submersible 47mm replica dimensions matching the original Italian Navy prototypes. Our Submersible PAM 01039 47mm super clone keeps the full-size case in stainless steel and runs a clone of a genuine Panerai automatic; the genuine 47mm steel Submersibles use the P.9010 with a 72-hour reserve. The 47mm diameter delivers maximum bezel and dial legibility — on the genuine, each minute marker is individually printed on the ceramic insert. Other 47mm references in stock include the Carbotech PAM 00616 and the Bronzo PAM 00968.

Submersible Carbotech 47mm (PAM 00616)

Panerai’s proprietary carbon fiber composite: on the genuine, each case is formed from compressed carbon fiber sheets with PEEK polymer binder at high temperature, giving a case lighter than titanium with a unique layered pattern — no two are identical. The PAM 00616 is the 47mm reference that introduced Carbotech, and each panerai submersible carbotech replica in our stock recreates that layered pattern in a carbon-look case: the PAM 00616, the Submersible Carbotech PAM 00960 and the PAM 2231, each with a clone of a genuine Panerai automatic. On the genuine, Carbotech does not conduct heat and resists UV degradation, corrosion and scratching.

Submersible Bronzo 47mm (PAM 00968)

On the genuine, the CuSn8 bronze case develops a natural patina unique to each owner’s skin chemistry and environment, with green-brown oxidation appearing within weeks of wear and creating a one-of-a-kind surface. Our Submersible Bronzo PAM 968 super clone has a bronze-tone case, so do not count on the same patina. Rotating bezel and a clone of the P.9010 automatic used in the genuine 47mm Bronzo. For smaller wrists, the 42mm Bronzo Abisso (PAM 1074) is also in stock. Panerai first used bronze in 2011 on the limited Luminor Submersible Bronzo PAM 00382, which turned bronze into a collector favourite.

Submersible EcoTitanium 47mm (PAM 00985)

EcoTitanium is Panerai’s recycled titanium alloy, introduced on the Mike Horn editions: on the genuine it is lighter than the equivalent steel Submersible, resists saltwater corrosion, is hypoallergenic and has a distinctive matte grey finish. Our PAM 00985 super clone has a titanium case and a clone of a genuine Panerai automatic; the genuine runs the P.9010 with a 72-hour reserve. Also in stock: the Mike Horn Edition PAM 984 and PAM 985 and the PAM 984 in a titanium shell. The genuine is rated to 300m; our clones are not for swimming.

Submersible Super Clone Build: Rotating Bezel and Crown Bridge

Every panerai submersible replica in this collection is a super clone running a clone of a genuine Panerai calibre, so read the figures below as the genuine benchmark. The genuine P.9010 automatic — two mainspring barrels, bidirectional winding rotor, 72-hour power reserve at 28,800 vph — drives most 47mm Submersible references, while the 44mm QuarantaQuattro uses the thinner P.900; our clones copy these layouts with a shorter power reserve than the genuine 72 hours. Genuine chronograph Submersible models (not in our current stock) use the P.9100 with flyback function: a single pusher resets and restarts the chronograph in one action without stopping, starting, then resetting separately — essential for sequential dive timing. Cases are engineered around the rotating bezel: a unidirectional click mechanism with 120 increments (half-minute resolution) prevents accidental rotation that could extend apparent dive time. The bezel insert is ceramic — zirconium oxide fired at over 1,400 degrees Celsius — providing scratch resistance and permanent color stability. The luminous dot at 12 on the bezel aligns with the minute hand to mark elapsed time. Crowns use the Luminor lever-lock guard system for positive water seal. Sandwich dials ensure consistent SuperLuminova glow in dark water conditions. The full story of the Gruppo Gamma frogmen and how the Submersible grew out of their instruments is in our guide to the Submersible’s Italian Navy dive heritage.

How to Choose a Panerai Submersible Replica: 42, 44 or 47 mm

Start with case size and material. The smallest Submersible in our stock is the 42mm Bronzo Abisso (PAM 1074); the 44mm QuarantaQuattro (PAM 1289 and its green, grey and white siblings) suits wrists 16-18cm and works as an everyday watch. The 47mm steel (PAM 01039) is the full heritage format — maximum dial and bezel legibility, suited to wrists 18cm and above. The Carbotech references (PAM 00616 at 47mm, PAM 00960 and PAM 2231) give a carbon-look case with layered patterning. The Bronzo (PAM 00968) brings the bronze-tone look of Panerai’s patina watches. The EcoTitanium PAM 00985 and the Mike Horn editions split the difference between steel strength and Carbotech lightness. For a second time zone, the Submersible GMT Navy SEALs (PAM 1323) adds a GMT hand to the dive case. For Panerai without a rotating bezel, explore the Panerai Luminor replica family.

Panerai Submersible Clone FAQ

What is the difference between Submersible and Luminor?

Both share Panerai’s cushion case shape and the lever-lock crown guard. The key difference is the rotating bezel: Submersible has a unidirectional 120-click ceramic bezel for tracking dive time — Luminor does not. On the genuine, Submersible is rated to 300m water resistance (some models to 1,000m), while standard Luminor Marina models are rated to 100-300m; our super clones of both are not for swimming. Submersible cases tend to be thicker to accommodate the bezel mechanism. Until 2019, Submersible was classified as a Luminor sub-line (Luminor Submersible); Panerai then made it an independent family with its own case engineering and catalog identity.

What is Panerai Carbotech?

Carbotech is Panerai’s proprietary composite: thin carbon fiber sheets layered with PEEK (polyether ether ketone) polymer and compressed at controlled temperature and pressure. The carbon fiber layers shift during compression, creating a random visible pattern unique to each case — two Carbotech watches never look the same. The material weighs approximately 18% less than titanium and significantly less than steel. It does not corrode in saltwater, resists UV degradation, and does not conduct heat (comfortable against skin in cold water). Carbotech scores higher than ceramic on impact resistance while maintaining surface hardness. Panerai introduced Carbotech with the Submersible PAM 616 and has since expanded it to Luminor references. The properties above describe the genuine material; our super clones recreate its look in a carbon-look case.

What sizes are available in the Submersible collection?

Our Submersible stock spans three sizes: 42mm (the Bronzo Abisso PAM 1074), 44mm (the QuarantaQuattro line: PAM 1226, 1229, 1232, 1287, 1288 and 1289) and 47mm (heritage format). On the genuine, the 42mm is about 14.2mm thick and the 47mm up to 17.4mm. The 47mm models include steel (PAM 01039), Carbotech (PAM 00616), Bronzo (PAM 00968) and EcoTitanium (PAM 00985). Genuine 42mm steel references such as PAM 00959 are shown for reference only. The 42mm fits comfortably on wrists from 16.5cm. The 47mm sits well on wrists 18cm and above — the thick case compensates by keeping the lug-to-lug measurement within wearable range due to the cushion case curvature.

How does the Submersible rotating bezel work?

The Submersible uses a unidirectional rotating bezel — it turns counterclockwise only. Before a dive, the wearer aligns the luminous dot at 12 o’clock on the bezel with the minute hand. As time passes, the minute hand moves away from the marker, showing elapsed dive time. The unidirectional mechanism prevents accidental clockwise rotation that could understate elapsed time — a safety feature, since showing less time than actually spent underwater could lead a diver to exceed planned bottom time. The bezel clicks in 120 increments (one click per half-minute) with a ceramic insert that resists scratching from incidental contact with rocks or equipment.

What is the Bronzo patina effect?

Panerai Bronzo cases use CuSn8 bronze alloy (92% copper, 8% tin) — the same alloy family used in marine propellers and historical naval hardware. Exposure to air, moisture and skin acids causes oxidation that progressively changes the surface color from polished golden-brown to darker tones with green and brown patina. Each wearer’s unique skin chemistry and wearing environment produces a different patina pattern. The oxidation is purely surface-level and does not affect structural integrity. Some owners accelerate patina with saltwater exposure; others apply Renaissance wax to slow it. The bronze eventually stabilizes at a consistent aged tone, creating a truly individual timepiece. That patina is a property of the genuine CuSn8 case: our Bronzo super clones (PAM 00968 at 47mm and PAM 1074 at 42mm) have a bronze-tone case, so do not count on the same aging.

Do you have a Panerai Carbotech replica?

Yes: our Carbotech super clones are the Submersible Carbotech PAM 00616 (47mm), PAM 00960 and PAM 2231, and on the Luminor side the Luminor Marina Carbotech PAM 1661 and PAM 01118 and the Luminor Chrono Carbotech Luna Rossa Experience PAM 01519. Each recreates the layered black pattern of genuine Carbotech in a carbon-look case rather than the genuine carbon-and-PEEK composite. The Submersible versions add the unidirectional rotating bezel for dive timing; the Luminor versions keep the clean crown-guard case without a bezel, and the Luna Rossa adds a chronograph.
