New Divers Anytime Soon?

I saw some ramblings about new Offshores in a few months, anybody heard about new divers? I’m *quite* interested in a diver as it fits in nicely with my long term AP plans after a RO41. Would absolutely love something like a white dial with green rubber. Maybe if they transitioned to ceramic bezel as well? The current divers sadly don’t do anything for me.

Just wanted to hear thoughts!

Ceramic diver or at least CE bezel would make a great daily. Improving the fit a la 43mm ROO chrono is probably be too much to ask, but would make it even better - perfect, if I may say so.

I feel like this should be the natural progression of the line though, no? Or perhaps they want to keep some differentiation between it and the ROO43?

I truly wanted to like the green diver, but I can’t vibe with the touch of pink gold throughout, it’s just not my thing. Panerai’s recent white submersible release with green strap has me very much interested, but would highly prefer an AP iteration: https://www.panerai.com/us/en/collec...ro-bianco.html

Agree with all of that.

And would it stay in the 42mm case size do we think?

I’ve been thinking about the same thing, none of the current ones excite me that much. And just as Vogel says a CE bezel would be so nice for the diver. Titanium would be cool too!

Speaking about ROO Diver I always release that people doesn't need a Diver... the only thing they love on Diver is the fact it is time only model... so they need and want a 41mm time only ROO, regarding size something in between 2 AP Music Edition models... with curved case, new strap system and variety of material combinations that usually includes full ceramic or ceramic bezel...

Smaller, slimmer, with ceramic bezel. That would really seal the deal for me. I love the 43mm chrono, 26480ti, and even the standard divers they're just way too bulky.
