PANERAI RADIOMIR

The Radiomir Califonia 47mm PAM931 will be familiar to most Paneristis. Panerai has done a number of Radiomir watches with California dials in the past, but the PAM931 makes a strong case for being the most distinctive yet. This comes in a larger 47mm wide Radiomir case with wire lugs.

The distinctive thing about the dial is its color. It features a graduated brown dial that’s lighter in the center and darker at the edges. It’s supposed to mimic the look of vintage tropical dials. It has blued hour and minute hands. To complete the vintage look, it has beige lume and a Plexiglass crystal.

Inside the watch is Panerai’s in-house calibre P.3000. This is a tried-and-tested handwound Panerai movement that is used in many other 47mm Panerai watches. It has a power reserve of three days and it beats at 3Hz. The P.3000 movement in the PAM931 is a newer version that has more elaborate bridges.
