As an official military supplier, Panerai was charged with producing timekeeping instruments for the Italian Frogmen. Thus, not only did Panerai watches have to water resistant, they needed to be highly legible in murky waters too. In order to do this, Panerai actually turned to the leaders in water resistant watches\u2014Rolex. And, together, Rolex and Panerai developed very large 47mm water resistant watches with incredible luminescence.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16479\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16479\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16479 size-full\" title=\"Panerai watches needed to be very clear and easy to read.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/5D3_8436.jpg\" alt=\"California PAM 448\" width=\"900\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/5D3_8436.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/5D3_8436-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/5D3_8436-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/5D3_8436-585x330.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16479\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Panerai watches have to water resistant, they needed to be highly legible in murky waters too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Panerai produced ten prototypes of the first Radiomir watches in 1936, thus, cementing Panerai\u2019s relationship with the Navy. The official production of the military issue Panerai Radiomir began two years later, in 1938, which included some enhances and modifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Tribute Radiomir California PAM 448<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2012, Panerai unveiled the Radiomir California 3 Days PAM00448 limited to only 750 pieces. A tribute reference, the PAM 448 is a clear nod to the historical 1930s Panerai model. The immense 47mm stainless steel case houses the same so-called California dial from 1936. A\u00a0California dial is an Art Deco style layout that includes Arabic and Roman numerals in addition to stick indexes and an inverted triangle at 12 o\u2019clock. Also on the dial are the distinct blue-outline center hands similar to the original Radiomir. Protecting the face of the watch is in fact thick Plexiglas crystal rather than the ubiquitous sapphire crystal.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16475\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16475\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16475 size-full\" title=\"A large Panerai Radiomir at 47mm.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/5D3_8404.jpg\" alt=\"California PAM 448\" width=\"900\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/5D3_8404.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/5D3_8404-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/5D3_8404-768x476.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/5D3_8404-585x363.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16475\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From this angle, you can see the blue outlines on the hands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emphasizing the homage, Panerai engraved \u201cVINTAGE\u201d in the middle of the strap attachments at 6 o\u2019clock.
