Panerai’s new MARINA series of watches is here, with a large size of 44 mm and equipped with an ultra-thin P.980 movement, which not only improves accuracy, but also makes it more comfortable to wear! Want to know what other surprise features this watch has and how cost-effective it is? Read on!

New watches attract attention

In 2025, Panerai will launch a number of new models in the MARINA series. The case size of the new watches is 44 mm, returning to the large-size style of early products. The new watch is equipped with the P.980 movement, which is a debut movement with a stop-seconds function, a vibration frequency of 28800VPH, a power reserve of 3 days (72 hours), and a thickness of only 4.2 mm. This design makes the watch more accurate, and the thinner movement also significantly reduces the overall thickness of the watch.

In the past, the thickness of Panerai’s watch cases was often more than 15 mm. This time, the thickness of the new watch is only 13.7 mm, a reduction of about 12%. It also reduces the overall weight of the watch and makes it more comfortable to wear.

This new watch is made of AISI 316LVM grade stainless steel. This material can not only effectively prevent the watch from rusting, but also resist the corrosion of sea water. You don’t have to worry even if it is used for long-term diving. At the same time, the new watch also uses more advanced luminous technology to improve the readability of the watch in low-light environments. This is a shortcoming of many diving watches, and Panerai’s new watch just makes up for this shortcoming.

The most important thing is that the new watch also incorporates the Click Release System. The addition of this system makes the replacement of the strap simple and fast. Operations that used to require tools can now be completed with a single click. For friends who like to change straps, it is undoubtedly a very friendly design.

High cost performance

As a high-end watch, Panerai’s new MARINA series naturally has a high price range, ranging from RMB 66,400 to RMB 73,900 (titanium case). Although the price is not cheap, compared with its performance and advantages, the price is still acceptable.

In particular, the new watch is equipped with the P.980 movement. As we mentioned before, this is a very thin movement. However, even if many high-end watches on the market have a power reserve of 7 days, the movement must be about 10 mm thick. This not only affects the wearing comfort, but also brings hidden dangers to the waterproof performance.

The thickness of Panerai’s new watch case is only 13.7 mm, which is already quite thin for a 44 mm stainless steel watch equipped with P.980 movement. Panerai has done an excellent job in this regard, ensuring performance and accuracy while also taking into account the beauty and wearing comfort of the watch.

What’s more, this watch has a very high cost performance. Not only can it compete with many luxury brands in terms of performance, but it is also more affordable in terms of price. It is undoubtedly the best choice for friends who like diving.

Summarize

The new watches of the Panerai MARINA series have been greatly improved in all aspects. Whether it is material, movement, performance, or appearance design, it can be called an excellent diving watch.

If you are worried about choosing a diving watch, you may wish to consider Panerai’s new MARINA series, which will never let you down.
