Panerai Submersible PAM02683 Black Dial

Black dial with blue details

This Panerai Submersible PAM2683 replica follows Panerai’s black-dial Submersible with blue accents. The dial is matte black with round lume plots, a double bar at 12 and a single baton at 6. Blue picks out the SUBMERSIBLE lettering under the logo, the depth line above the 6 and the small seconds hand at 9. The date window sits at 3, white numerals on black.

Steel case and dark bezel

The 44mm case is brushed steel, with the hinged crown guard lever marked REG T.M. The rotating bezel has a dark insert with round steel-tone studs, a lume pip at 12 and small 15, 30 and 45 discs, which keeps the whole face dark. It comes on a black rubber strap with a moulded logo, and the solid caseback is engraved Submersible.

Where the PAM02683 sits in the Submersible range

If you like the blue lettering but want a black composite case, the Carbotech PAM2231 uses the same blue print on marbled Carbotech. For a steel model with a coloured dial, look at the matte green PAM1055. Every reference is listed in the Panerai Submersible collection, and the Submersible buying guide compares them side by side.

Does the PAM2683 have a date?

Yes, at 3 o’clock, with small seconds at 9.

How is it different from the PAM1229?

Both are steel with blue lettering. The PAM1229 has a brushed steel bezel engraved 15, 30 and 45; the PAM2683 has a dark bezel insert with studs and a lume pip at 12.
