The Mamas and The Papas’ legendary hit California Dreamin’ could be the official anthem for the paneristi, Panerai watch collectors, given the love for the famed dial nicknamed “California.” What’s so special about it? Inspired by the first Radiomir from 1936, its clever layout features luminescent indices, Roman and Arabic numerals. Between 2006 and today, the transalpine brand has drop-fed limited series with this design making each new release is an event, the chance for a dream to come true. The new Luminor 1950 3 Days Titanio DLC is sure to be snapped up and there are only 300 available. What’s more, this timepiece oozes Officine style. The classic cushion-shape case and crown protector, in titanium with a DLC coating, houses the manual wind in-house P.3000 calibre (72-hour power reserve). This special edition comes with a dark brown leather strap. Price: 10,900 CHF. Dan Diaconu
