It sure does look pretty, Cru but for me is weird the mix of the crown guard with the cali dial.....

Cali dial looks odd to me in that case.

Nice strap though!

Can't help but feel it would look better without the crownguard. Is the crystal sapphire or plexi?

It looks beautifully crafted but like most of the comments above, I agree that the California and SLC dials just look more at home in the Radiomir case.

I like this model. Yes, combination of case and dial looks weird, but cmon it's a real modern Panerai: hand-wound movm, 3 days pr, 2 hands, titanium, DLC, no text and logo on the dial, solid case back, luminor case, nice crystal - all these things are best that Panerai can give you - it can be your one and only Pam.

The finish looks stunning but the design is weird. An odd melange to my eyes.

The Cali dial looks better in a Rad case IMHO.

I agree

Cali dials MUST have blue hands and stuffed in a radio case.

Imagine cellini dial in a deepsea case

I really like it. Would have preferred a display back with PR indicator like on the 422.
Is it plexi or crystal?
article does not say which

Not sure I understand the design. Would love to learn more about it, if anyone knows the story behind this very particular dial?
