Panerai introduces a new mid-size Submersible collection; this is the base model, delivered with a striking yet familiar look.
You don’t need to be proficient in Italian to work out what QuarantaQuattro is all about; QuarantaQuattro is to 2022’s new Submersibles collection what quattro formaggi is to pizza!
It’s Panerai’s newfangled way of referring to a recently introduced 44mm case diameter for their dedicated Submersible diver’ watch family –
a byword if you will, where by all new models moving forward will now receive their case-size designations in Italian; such as the Luminor Quaranta models.
Why? Well because QuarantaQuattro just sounds better than 44mm, doesn’t it!
Introducing the new Submersible QuarantaQuattro AKA PAM01229, recently debuted alongside several other QuarantaQuattro (44mm) Submersible models at Watches and Wonders 2022 in Geneva. 
Its 44mm diameter case is in AISI 316L Stainless steel with a brushed finish and has a water-resistant to 300m. 
Its matte black dial is accented or should that be accentuated via some nice pops of blue for the name and water-resistance text as well as the sub-seconds hand giving the watch a very similar look to its brothers, the little 42mm PAM00683 and bigger 47mm PAM01305. 
Powering the watch is an automatic mechanical, P.900 caliber, with 23 jewels, 28,800 alternations/hour, Incabloc anti-shock protection and a power-reserve of 3 days.
MSRP in Switzerland is CHF 9'000 incl. sales tax.
Thoughts? Honestly I’m not sure what the move to 44mm is all about because 42mm is already the sweet spot imho; unless of course Panerai plan to eventually phase out 47mm?
Perhaps next year we might even see a Submersible Quaranta (40mm) collection. What are you thoughts on case sizing?
