"Ferrari Engineered by Panerai" Hits Replica Watch Sites.

  Ferrari dissolved its 10-year long union 2 years ago with Switzerland's Girard-Perregaux,   and has taken on Italy's Panerai as its flagship partner for timepieces.

  The collaboration brings together 2 of the top names in Italian luxury, both known for their   exotic-ness, ruggedness, and exclusivity.

  The first range of timepieces born from this collaboration is named "Ferrari Engineered by   Panerai"









As the licensor, Ferrari had final say on the designs, which distinctly reference its cars. Subdials recall the dashboard gauges, winding crowns and chrono pushers are knurled knobs also derived from dashboard details, and the deployment buckle is cast to
resemble the sleek lines of a Ferrari viewed from above.

Ferrari Engineered by Panerai includes 11 models divided into two collections:
Granturismo and Scuderia. The Granturismo dials feature renderings of Ferrari's prancing-horse logo underscored with the Ferrari name, while each Scuderia dial bears the black-and-yellow, prancing-stallion Ferrari badge.

Each line includes a Solotempo with date indicator, a GMT (which indicates a second time zone), and Rattrapante chronograph models.

Panerai, provider of watches for Italian navy divers from the early 1900s until the 1960s, is known for its rugged 40 mm and 44 mm Luminors and for its more refined Radiomirs, which are distinguished by their tapered crowns.

The new collection displays the watchmaker's characteristic oversize styling, with cases measuring 45 mm, but the Panerai name can be found only on the casebacks.

The replica market has not been slow to catch on to this exclusive marque, and the demand for this collection is very high. Replica sites have since responded to tap this demand, but demand has far outstripped supply, and to date this range can be found only on a few exclusive sites, namely :
