The only other thing Panerai watches are most loved for apart from their dominating, bulky size and strength is their ability to flaunt distinguishing looks despite employing a recognisable and heavily-repeated design language. Similar is the case with this Panerai Luminor California 8 Days DLC PAM00779. Released in 2018, this watch is a clever culmination of several iconic Panerai signatures that create a surprisingly stunning mien.

This 44mm Luminor is more wrist-friendly than the other large-sized Panerai watches, with a case that is rendered in lightweight titanium. Further, a layer of DLC coating is widespread to give a rugged and almost non-luxurious appeal, necessary to impart a utilitarian and military look. The profile is classic Luminor — cushion-shaped with the signature liver bridge crown.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
