Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, carries a beautiful legacy of excellence and values that distinguishes him as an icon of the cricket world. It's this celebrated lineage that made Panerai choose him as their Indian brand ambassador in 2018, and subsequently, in 2020, the maison released special timepieces dedicated to this living legend. This limited edition Luminor GMT is a smart and sporty piece blending Panerai's signature elements with subtle references to the renowned cricketer.

The 44mm case of the watch is cast in stainless steel. It combines the recognisable cushion shape design with the crown guard and a polished bezel that looks dressy against the brushed surfaces of the case. With a clean and streamlined look, the most highlighting element of the case is certainly the caseback. It incorporates a minimalist outline of him and the Indian peninsula accompanied by his signature. An inscription stating Mahendra Singh Dhoni 183 graces the contours of the caseback, marking his highest score of 183 runs in a one-day international against Sri Lanka.

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.
