Including the chance to train with the Navy SEALs.
Fresh from pairing up with Italian special forces, Panerai has now joined the US Navy SEALs.

The final piece – the 47mm DLC-coated Submersible Navy SEALs Experience Edition (PAM01325) – offers a 20 customers not only a unique watch, but access to “an adventure that will immerse guests in the history of the Navy SEALs and grant rare, first-hand exposure to the rigorous physical, emotional and mental demands of SEAL training”.
According to Panerai, owners of the Experience Edition will be “outfitted in authentic gear, from camouflage tactical uniforms to the MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) that SEALs eat in the field, participants will travel by helicopter and amphibious vehicles to perform exercises by SEa, Land and Air, culminating in the simulation of a historical raid. The experience concludes with a luncheon at the National UDT – Navy SEAL Museum and a commencement ceremony to honor a shared expedition.”
