The Panerai Radiomir California (Ref. PAM02088) was introduced in 2025 as a limited edition that reinterprets one of the brand’s most distinctive historical designs. Drawing inspiration from the original “California” or “Error-Proof” dial, this modern version introduces a bold cultural twist by replacing the traditional Arabic numerals with Chinese numerals, earning the nickname “Chinafornia” dial among collectors. The watch features a 45 mm stainless steel case with the signature Radiomir wire lugs and a polished bezel, staying true to the vintage aesthetic of Panerai’s early military models. A domed sapphire crystal, solid case back, and 100-meter (10 bar) water resistance ensure durability and clarity. The matte black dial combines luminous Roman and Chinese numerals with baton-style hands, providing exceptional legibility in all conditions. This unique layout pays homage to Panerai’s tool-watch origins while celebrating global craftsmanship. Inside, the watch is powered by the Panerai Caliber P.5000, a hand-wound mechanical movement entirely developed in-house. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, it delivers an impressive 8-day power reserve from its twin-barrel construction. The movement includes 21 jewels, a Glucydur® balance, and Incabloc® shock protection for enhanced precision. The Radiomir California PAM02088 is completed with a brown leather strap and stainless-steel pin buckle, offering a seamless blend of history, innovation, and cultural flair.
