Panerai models/movements that still have hacking seconds?

[bay_area_kid]

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?

it's difficult to know, some movement's hacking function were gone after "upgrade", even panerai won't tell you.

Most of the current generation are non hacking the Pam 312 era were hacking automatic movements.

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.

Just buy one of the many "2 handers" they make and it doesnt matter

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!
