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 .
