Panerai models/movements that still have hacking seconds?
So I'm one of those weirdos that absolutely requires a "hacking seconds" feature in every watch in my collection. I recently tried a Panerai Submersible 973 at a local boutique and for some odd reason, found myself strongly drawn to the odd design. However, I quickly realized as I was playing around with the watch that the movement doesn't hack.
In my brief research online, I read that Panerai has recently started to remove "hacking seconds" in some of their movements (possibly as part of cost-cutting efforts). Are there still Panerai models or movements that retain "hacking seconds"? If not, is my best bet the secondary/vintage market? Which models should I be on the lookout for? |

There's some reports of hacking seconds reintroduced 'quietly' and even seconds reset in new gmts.

You may have to go back to earlier models. I think my 2002 024 Submersible hacks. That movement is based on a Valjoux 7750.

Pam is: Pam01321 - Luminor GMT Power Reserve. Absolutely one of the best looking Case…Dial combo’s, exceptionally reliable and accurate movement, not only hacking, but w/ Second Reset feature, and not only decorated w/ sapphire crystal case-back…but full 300 meters water resistance! I absolutely love mine!
