Submersible GMT Luna Rossa Titanio PAM01507
PAM01507腕錶為Panerai首次革命性採用Super-LumiNova® X2夜光物料，塗覆 於時標及指針，置放於黑暗環境中180分鐘後所保持的光度比上一代夜光物料高10%。腕錶裝配P.900 / GMT24H自動機芯，具有3天動力儲存。GMT兩地時間顯示及24小時刻度是回歸品牌傳統，為要掌握不時時區時間的人士而設。防水深度高達50巴（約500米）。
Submersible Tourbillon GMT Luna Rossa
全新Submersible Tourbillon GMT Luna Rossa體驗版腕錶PAM01405全球限量20 枚，將於2024年7月美洲盃決賽期間發售。Panerai將邀請錶主於決賽期間前往巴塞隆拿，參與精心規劃的多項體驗活動，讓客人親身感受帆船賽的緊張刺激。其中的帆船賽事幕後直擊，是與Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli帆船隊互動交流的寶貴機會，讓客人近距離體驗這項知名競賽的激昂氣氛與團隊的運籌帷幄。PAM01405的核心為團隊耗時三年研發的P.2015 / T手動上鏈機械機芯，最突出的莫過於Panerai專利陀飛輪裝置，每30秒水平旋轉一圈。由於是垂直於平衡擺輪旋轉，所以能抵消地心引力對精準度的影響。
Submersible QuarantaQuattro Luna Rossa Ti-Ceramitech™ PAM01466 / PAM01543
今年Panerai於Submersible Luna Rossa新作中，最值得關注的定必為採用全新專利材質TiCeramitech™的PAM01466及PAM01543。經歷七年來的悉心鑽研和開發，此工序將鈦合金表面轉化為一層密集的陶瓷層，為錶款創造出別具一格且搶眼的藍色色調。此技術讓硬度顯着提高，完工的錶殼重量較精鋼少44%，但其斷裂韌性比傳統陶瓷高出十倍之多。腕錶採用P.900自動機芯，備有3日 動力儲存功能，同時具有停秒功能。錶圈的製作跟錶殼一樣出色。機械加工的鈦金屬經過陶瓷化工序，接着再經過精密的加工，讓底層的金屬露出，以不同的材質帶來視覺對比。防水深度高達50巴 （約 500 米），再次為Panerai奠定了里程碑。
