There is a surprising creation made by the fake Officine Penerai, which is a limited edition collection of pieces featuring dark green dials. While colored dials are something Panerai has made only a handful of times, and the green version is surely among the most striking, the shade is dark enough to have a bit of military flavor about it and is thus perfectly in line with the replica Panerai’s aesthetics. Give regards to three green dial Panerai replica watches.
There are three different examples displayed, each featuring luminous beige markers, gilded hands and dark brown leather straps, and each delivered in a bespoke green cherry wood box.
The fake Panerai chronographs may not be as clean and classic looking as their base models but this is a nice watch without question. Water-resistant to 100 meters, highlights include a polished bezel, a power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock, and GMT function. The cheap watch is powered by a manual wind P.2004 calibre from the Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel with an eight-day power reserve. The next two models are Radiomirs, Panerai’s other and older iconic watch design which does not feature its signature locking crown guard lever.
Purists need not fret however thanks to the last green dial replica watch on the list, the Radiomir 1940 3 Days Acciaio. This piece comes in the old-school Panerai size of 47mm, which will be too large for many potential customers, but certainly makes a definitive statement. The stainless steel watch recalls the fake Panerai’s famed design of 1940, when the Royal Italian Navy’s elite underwater commandos wore such pieces on their mission to destroy enemy ships. And it is powered by the P.3000 manual wind mechanical calibre with a power reserve of three days. Actually, it’s the most affordable way to get into one of these exclusive new green dialed Panerais. The Panerai replica has been experimenting with thinner cases as well of late, but this watch has all the classic chunkiness of a real watch.
