What is the quintessential modern Panerai?
I am reading myself a bit into the history of Panerai and was wondering if you guys could tell me what youtm think is the most interessting modern panerai?
I kinda like the 372 so far.
Thanks

I would say the Submersible Carbotech
Because it is still a Panerai but a new Panerai. A kind of symbol of a new page.

Forgive me but...
I can't find the word..quintessential..in the Submersible line, unless you are referring to the fact that it is..manufactured..by Panerai 
I agree with you
To me the submersible is a modern iteration of the Luminor line of watches, from vintage to Pre-Vendome and finally to the Vendome era. The carbotech submersible is by far one of the more interesting one.
The 372 is....
indeed a "powerful" Panerai model. Some other models that fit that bill: PAM232....249...587 and similar models. All 47mm, manual wound and no bells&whistles.
Its hard to say without considering the product lines . Here are my favorites per product line. Modern with history
Radiomir : 721; 210 if u want something smaller
Radiomir 1940: 662
Luminor 1950: 127 alternativ 673
Radiomir 1940: 662
Luminor 1950: 127 alternativ 673
Radiomir (wire lugs): PAM 721, Radiomir (solid lugs): PAM 662 cont'd.
Luminor (vintage style G. Panerai e Figlio): PAM 372
Luminor (Pre-Vendome Style): 5218-201A
PAM Zero
I think of it like a no date, two line submariner. Everything else is built around the basic form/ideal.
Maybe not the quintessential, but the 127 / 217 and the recent 1080 get my vote [nt]
No message body
I think the 372 is a clear winner, here... But you are right to precise " from the current catalog ". [nt]
No message body
Yep lots of nice ones that have the DNA but are usually limited series or discontinued. The Pam 000 would have qualified but the recent iteration is a snap back case I think. I still think they should have made the 720 a regular catalog piece (nt)
..
I never was a big fan of the Pam 000. I had eyes only for the Logo Pre Vendome, which is to me one of the best contender for that title. And of course, the vintage 6152 or 6154! [nt]
