Panerai For Ferrari California Flyback Chronograph

To coincide with the introduction of the Ferrari California, Officine Panerai has introduced a new two-counter chronograph in its "Ferrari Engineered by Officine Panerai" watch collection.   The case of this limited edition Panerai timepiece measures 45mm in diameter, and displays a cushion shaped profile; brushed surfaces are predominant with polished elements on the lugs and case corners providing an appealing and tasteful contrast.  Both pushpieces and signed winding crown feature a finely machined knurled texture. Evocative of the sensual, sporting form of the Ferrari California, this watch's black dial showcases accents in iconic "Ferrari Red", including a dial section between 12 and 3 o'clock whose semi-circular sweep calls to mind the tachometer instrumentation of a Ferrari car.  The Ferrari "California" logo on the dial removes any doubt as to the official connection between these two coveted luxury objects.

The Panerai for Ferrari California Flyback Chronograph is animated by a self-winding mechanical movement.  A balance frequency of 28,800 beats per hour assures timing precision to the nearest 1/8th second.  The caliber also possesses a flyback complication, which removes the need to stop the running chronograph between timing sequences.  Decorative elements of the movement include an engraved rotor that proudly displays the famous "Cavallino Rampante" Ferrari logo.

400 examples of the Panerai for Ferrari California Flyback Chronograph will be made.  The watches are fitted with a convex sapphire crystal, and a thickly padded strap in alligator leather accented with contrasting white stitching.  Water resistance of this model is rated for 100 meters.
