Officine Panerai Ferrari California Flyback Chronograph watch goes on sale

The Italian watch maker has just revealed its new Panerai Ferrari California flyback chronograph watch that celebrates the introduction of the red-hot Ferrari California cabriolet.

Sporting an average self-winding movement beating at a frequency of 28,800 bph, the timepiece will sell at a price of $12,000. Indeed, vanity is just another kind of tax.

As you can see on the photos, the watch comes wrapped in a 45mm stainless steel case with a cushion-shaped profile and with brushed surfaces contrasting nicely with polished elements on the lugs and case corners.

Its dial features the “Ferrari” and “California” insignias (I guess, those add about $5000 to the grand total) and a pair of subdials on 3 and 9 o’clock. The famous “Prancing Horse” logo you can see on the winding crown is complemented with the same emblem engraved on the movement’s rotor.

The special edition model is limited to just 400 units.
