Model Reference
The Panerai Luminor Submersible Blu Notte PAM01068 arrived in 2021, introducing a fresh interpretation of the Submersible collection by combining Panerai's professional diving credentials with a colour palette that had rarely been explored within the range.
The familiar Submersible silhouette suddenly feels different once the deep sun brushed dial catches natural light. Instead of remaining one consistent shade, it shifts throughout the day, moving from almost black indoors to a rich ocean blue outdoors. That changing appearance gives the PAM01068 a personality that photographs rarely capture.
Panerai carried the same colour into the ceramic bezel rather than treating it as a separate element. The result is a cleaner, more unified design where the bezel and dial work together instead of competing for attention. Practicality hasn't been sacrificed in the process. The unidirectional bezel still performs its original role of measuring elapsed dive time, while generous Super LumiNova™ on the hands, markers and indices keeps the display easy to read when light begins to disappear.
Hidden beneath the dial is the automatic P.900 calibre. Its slimmer profile allows the 42mm case to sit comfortably on the wrist, making this reference noticeably easier to wear for long periods than some larger Submersible models. The three day power reserve also means the movement continues running after a weekend off the wrist, reducing the need for constant resetting.
Ownership extends beyond the watch itself. Panerai includes both a stainless steel bracelet and a black Sportech™ strap with blue stitching, together with the tools required to change between them. It is a small detail, yet it encourages owners to adapt the watch to different settings instead of leaving it in one configuration.
The name Blu Notte translates to night blue, and that idea influences far more than the dial colour.
Panerai has long been associated with black military dials designed for absolute clarity. This reference proves that introducing colour doesn't have to weaken that identity. Instead, blue becomes another way of expressing depth, visibility and connection with the sea without abandoning the straightforward design language that has defined the brand for decades.
Even the presentation reflects a more contemporary direction. Alongside the additional strap and changing tools, the storage box is produced from recycled ABS plastic, showing that innovation can extend beyond movements and materials into the ownership experience itself.

The attraction of the Panerai Luminor Submersible Blu Notte PAM01068 often begins with colour, but it rarely ends there.
Living with this reference reveals qualities that aren't immediately obvious. The 42mm case feels balanced enough for everyday wear, the additional strap allows the watch to suit different occasions without needing aftermarket accessories, and the slimmer movement helps the overall profile remain comfortable throughout the day.
Choosing a pre owned Blu Notte is therefore about more than finding a distinctive dial. It is an opportunity to own a modern Panerai that combines practical engineering with a noticeably different visual identity, something that becomes increasingly appealing the longer it stays on the wrist.
