That's the 674, which is part of the controversial "Due" range announced in May 2016 at the "Dive Into Time" exhibition (which is ironic, since at most one can take the Due for a leisurely swim).

Regarding "automatic", that actually doesn't bother me, as it is pretty much a universal watch convention, and it makes sense for Panerai, specifically, to differentiate its more historically accurate manual wind movements from automatic movements. Plus, it gives some balance to the dial, IMHO.
