Into the Blue
Panerai Four new blue dials reflect the deep nautical history embraced by Panerai. Offered atop two Luminor models and two Radiomir models, the rich blue sunray dials are being created in boutique-only watches: Luminor 1950 3 Days GMT Automatic Acciaio( PAM0068), Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Automatic Acciaio( PAM0089), Radiomir 1940 3 Days Acciaio( PAM00690) and Radiomir 1940 10 Days GMT Automatic Oro Rosso( PAM00659).
The two Luminor 1950 models differ in diameter( 42mm vs. 44mm) as well as in displays, with the larger, more complicated PAM0089 offering a ten days power reserve displayed in a linear fashion on the dial, and an am / pm indicator. However, the more complex ten-day, rose-gold Radiomir 1940 offering is actually smaller in diameter( 45mm) than the 47mm steel manualwind PAM00690. The red gold Radiomir 1940 10 Days GMT is the dressiest of the bunch with a classy blue alligator strap and gold case, but our eyes landed immediately on the steel Radiomir 1940 3 Days model because of its terrific untreated leather Assolutamente strap with contrast stitching and hot-pressed Officine Panerai“ OP” logo. Prices begin at $ 8,600 for the steel Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days and rise to $ 35,900 for the gold Radiomir 1940 10 Days GMT.
