Panerai Radiomir California Brunito Steel 45mm PAM01349

Overview 

The Panerai Radiomir California reference PAM01349 is a highly distinctive and historically rich timepiece, introduced in 2023 as part of the new Brunito eSteel collection. This boutique-exclusive model—limited to just 600 pieces—draws directly from Panerai's iconic 1930s Radiomir watches developed for the Italian Navy, blending vintage charm with modern, innovative finishing.

The watch is housed in a classic 45mm cushion-shaped case, crafted from eSteel (recycled steel) and treated with the striking Brunito finish. This unique process involves a multi-step treatment, including mirror-polishing, sandblasting, and tumble polishing, to achieve a deep, aged patina that perfectly simulates the look and feel of a piece from decades past.

The centerpiece is the unique California dial, a layout popularized by Panerai that features a distinctive mix of Arabic and Roman numerals on a dark, grained-like surface. The dial’s minimalist design is complemented by powerful luminescent material on the numerals and hands, offering superb legibility in any lighting condition and reinforcing the watch’s military heritage.

Powering the PAM01349 is the hand-wound P.5000 calibre, an in-house movement known for its impressive 8-day power reserve—a technical signature of Panerai’s more traditional creations. The combination of the iconic cushion case, the vintage California dial, the exclusive Brunito aged finish, and the hand-wound caliber makes the Radiomir PAM01349 a compelling choice for collectors seeking a watch with profound history and a unique, lived-in aesthetic.
