Panerai’s chunky dive watches were made popular by big-wristed Hollywood action stars Stallone and Schwarzenegger, but the brand is evolving with watches that are, shall we say, more delicate. Their latest effort is a much smaller 38mm Luminor Due Pastello with four pastel colored sunburst dials: mint green, sky blue, sage green, and cherry pink. The modestly sized case is crafted from AISI 316L stainless steel, and the watch is powered by the in-house Calibre P.900 automatic movement with 72-hour power reserve. Of course, it retains the classic cushion style case and the iconic crown protector. Move quickly, as only 500 of each colorway will be made. They’re available at Panerai authorized dealers only.
