Panerai Radiomir California 3 Days Special Edition – PAM00448

【Case Construction】
• Reference-based specification: 47 mm Radiomir case in AISI 316L polished steel, based on Panerai Reference PAM00448. The reference is officially listed with Plexiglas®, removable wire-loop strap attachments, a polished steel bezel, see-through sapphire crystal back, and 10 bar / approximately 100 m water resistance.
• The cushion-shaped Radiomir case presents a softer and more vintage-oriented profile than the Luminor series, with no crown-protecting bridge and a cleaner case silhouette.
• The polished steel case gives the watch a refined military-historical character, while the wire-loop lugs reinforce the early Panerai design language.
• The large 47 mm diameter creates strong wrist presence and gives the dial excellent visual openness.

【Dial Highlights】
• The black California dial is the defining feature, combining Roman numerals on the upper half with Arabic numerals on the lower half for a distinctive vintage military look.
• Beige luminous numerals and hour markers create a warm aged-tone effect, enhancing the historical character of the watch.
• Blue pencil-style hands add elegant contrast and make the dial more visually refined.
• The time-only layout keeps the face clean, symmetrical, and highly legible.
• The absence of date, logo-heavy text, and sub-dials allows the California dial design to remain the main visual focus.

⸻

【Crystal】
• Fitted with Plexiglas® on the front, matching the vintage-inspired character of the Radiomir California design.
• The rounded crystal profile enhances the old-school Panerai appearance and adds visual warmth compared with a flat modern sapphire crystal.
• The clear front view allows the mixed Roman-Arabic dial layout and blued hands to stand out sharply.

⸻

【Movement】
• Powered by a hand-wound mechanical P.3000 calibre, officially listed with 16½ lignes diameter, 5.3 mm thickness, 21 jewels, Incabloc® shock protection, two barrels, 161 components, and a 3-day power reserve.
• Functions are intentionally simple: hours and minutes only, keeping the watch faithful to Panerai’s historical instrument-watch identity.
• The manual-winding movement adds a more traditional mechanical experience and suits the vintage Radiomir concept.

⸻

【Strap & Clasp】
• Paired with a brown calfskin-style leather strap, matching the warm vintage tone of the dial.
• The strap’s visible stitching strengthens the military-inspired character and gives the watch a more handcrafted appearance.
• Reference information lists a polished steel trapezoidal buckle, 22 mm, giving the strap configuration a simple and period-correct finish.
