FERRARI Watches - Showing Its True Colours


FERRARI
Showing Its True Colours


For the Ferrari brand, Officine Panerai has developed a range of new pieces for both the Granturismo and Scuderia collections. The theme for this year is definitely more to the bigger case with a specific focus on PVD coated cases. One good example of this is with the Scuderia Chronograph DLC 45mm FER00038. Made in a special collection of 300 pieces, this reference uses a diamond-like hard coating on the case to give the piece an extra-sleek appearance. To add to the automobile theme of the watch, for the first time in the brand’s history, a silhouette of a Ferrari single-seater graces the dial at 6 o’clock. Add the red counters and indices to contrast the yellow Scuderia dial and you have a piece that is ultra-attractive.

Also special from Ferrari for this year is the California Chronograph Flyback, dedicated to the recently premiered Ferrari California automobile. The new California is a throw-back to a similar vehicle produced by Ferrari in the 1960’s that was the first Ferrari ever with a front-mounted V8 engine. To celebrate this achievement, the new timepiece, produced with a 45mm polished steel case and chronometer-certified OP XIX calibre movement embraces history with the name “California” stencilled at 6 o’clock on the dial. Unlike other Ferrari timepieces, the prancing horse is nowhere to be found on the front of the dial but is instead brightly lit in yellow on the back of the case surrounded by a carbon insert and steel.
